I enjoyed Sandy's story about taking Jasmine to the store in her sleeve,
and just had to share this story...
When I got my first ferret, Percy, I used to carry her around in my
pocketbook. Occasionally I would stick my finger in to check on her and
give her a quick scritch.
One day I was in Walgreens (a drugstore) with Percy. I stuck my finger in
and she did something particularly endearing, so I chuckled and said "Hiya
Perce". Note that "Perce" sounds amazingly like "Purse". I looked back up
to see a mother staring at me in horror. She immediately jerked her gaze
away, quickly grabbed her young son, and exited the store. I nearly fell
over laughing. ;)
I can still picture her expression to this day. And can just imagine what
she must think of that "crazy lady I saw caressing and talking to her
pocketbook". I was in college at the time, and probably wearing this old,
worn-out men's trenchcoat that I thought was just too cool. That was in
late '88. Percy has since gone to wait at the Bridge. I miss her dearly.
