Next Fish and Game Meeting is October 19th and 20th in Eureka

There really isn't a lot to report on this week... so here is a photo of my ferrets; Tiger and Bailey, just about to turn 7 years old. Bailey has insulinoma but has been doing well on a little bit of prednisone twice a day with their Duck Soup. And Tiger just got so frickin skinny I give her some pred just for appetite, which does the trick. These ferrets have always got the best of everything including annual desloralin implants after three years of age, so I was hoping they would live past 9. But it doesn't look like it. Now Back to Business, but one more excuse. I've had the worst cold this week, so I'm a little behind schedule. And I still don't feel well. Here's what's going on.



Fish and Game Commission Meeting. We will be on the agenda again October 20th in the afternoon. We are having a mini-ferret round up the evening before. You can book a room at the hotel for $95 - but getting up there will cost you a front a rear paw (if you're flying in from San Diego). I'm hoping a lot of people will make the trip, and actually it does appear there is interest. That really helps sway the Fish and Game Commissioners to give this item a little bit of attention make the right decision and legalize ferrets!

I think the smart money realizes we have a very good chance of success, so the professionals should be jumping on board. I'm surprised this hasn't made any news, but I think it will with the next Commission meeting.



I have to plan our presentation to the Board. Scott P wants me to remind everyone:



The dates for getting materials in to the Commission for them to actually get the info in their review “packets” is Oct 6th close of business. IF you can’t get them in by that date, then the next date is Oct 14th by COB where they will be presented the info at the meeting outside of their review packets. Good info for all!

So far we have heard back from Brian Caples for State Assembly and Nick Bloise for Assembly. Both are underdogs. But I think the good will from our donations will ripple to other candidates. It has been nice to meet these two candidates and wish them success in their campaigns. We need more people like these two very different candidates.



It is a lot more fun to call candidates (actually all done on social media) asking if they'll talk to us then asking them to introduce a bill with nothing in it for them. I kind of feel like a kingmaker - just kidding.



Here's our FPCC listing... looks like I need to file even more paperwork. In Conclusion

(from last week, yes I'm lazy) We are having a dinner meeting (order off the menu) the evening before. Please click https://business.facebook.com/events/561543787388732/
