Hello from Dallas, TX

[Brenda R. Robson]

Thanks for the greetings everyone!

This just kind of came to me. My son's been wanting a ferret for years but they were illegal in our area. So I said see if you can get the city council to change the law (because many just ignore it and have them). So long story short, after working on our city councilman's campaign for 4 years and getting his letter and picture in the newspaper because of it, he now leagally owns a ferret in Dallas county. Our city councilman is now running for mayor so it's been a great experience for my son.

I thought all that work merited a "rite of passage" painting and Leonardo's was always in the back of my mind. Although the lady is holding an ermine, I thought I could improvise.
