Hi everyone. I thought of something useful, if it hasn't already been
thought of, for finding a lost ferret. I was thinking about something the
Police Department does around here to help find lost kids. A lot of times
a photograph is necessary and parents don't have a recent photo. They set
up a booth and take videos/pictures of the kid as well as finger prints -
so the parent has them.
Now, pets grow a lot faster than kids, so you would have to do this more
often, about every month at least until they are full grown. Take a
picture of your pet. The face, the side, any special markings. Then,
you can have them at hand if ever your pet should get lost outside. As a
ferret owner, you know what a ferret is, but there are a lot of people that
don't know - especially colorings. When you tell a "non-ferret" person
"she is a silver mitt" wouldn't it be easier to show a picture? And it
doesn't have to be a glamour shot - get a picture in a context where you
can tell the size of the animal too. Maybe hold them.
Well, I'm gonna start our photo collection today. That way, it will be
easier to describe a "chocolate sable, with a chocolate nose".
If this has already been thought up, then I think it is a great idea.
