Some of you FMLERS may recall Yang's little adventure in the ceiling for 36
hours... Well, we sealed up the hole (or so we thought) with about 5 layers
of duct tape until we could get some plaster, etc.  Well, yesterday morning,
I was waking up, had already kicked my husband out of bed, and dreading
getting up myself.  Just for reference, the door to our bedroom stays open
at night so the cats can come in and out.  Anyway, on his way towards the
bathroom, he closed our bedroom door.  Now I was laying there thinking to
myself how I was gonna have to get up in a minute to open the door, since
the cats were in the room and bound to complain at their lack of freedom in
a minute, when all of a sudden I heard a "scream" from an animal.  I look
over the edge of the bed and I saw a little ferret at the door, blow past
to the other side of the room.  Now here I am, half awake, and this is just
barely registering at first.  Then I sit straight up, suddenly realizing
that it was Yang, and he had somehow gotten out of his room.  I began to
panic.... called my husband (who had his hearing aid off and couldn't have
heard a freight train if it was coming through) and proceeded to chase Yang
around the room.  Finally, my hubby came back in and found me half under the
bed looking for a ferret!  We worked together and caught him, both wondering
how on earth he had gotten out.  We were wondering where Yin might be if
Yang was out.  We took Yang back to the ferret room, and sure enough Yin was
sleeping comfortably at the bottom of his cage.  That began the search for
the escape route.  Mike said to me "check the hole" and sure enough, there
was a hole torn in the tape just big enough for one ferret!  We found that
rather than getting in the ceiling this time, he had gone straight through
the hole to the other side where the pipe comes out, in the BATHROOM, and
somehow made his way into the bedroom where Mommy and Daddy were!  Now we
have the hole taped over even more, cardboard over that, and a few THICK
boards nailed over the hole!  That place never to be accessable again!
Well, after this adventure, we got the hint that they were tired of their
room and wanted out, so we ferret proofed the rest of the house, and they
are now allowed the run of it when we are home!  I must admit they are quite
happy about it!  But that is a whole 'nother story!

Yin (nonononononooo, don't go there, we'll get in trouble)
& Yang (ooooooo, where does this go?)
