Well, I am sitting here at work and reading an email from someone who made
a remark about how amazing it is that dogs can be allowed to run loose and
terrorize people, but if a ferret so much as looks at someone wrong, they
are under suspicion!  it is so true
 
Then, I started thinking: What if Pepe were as big as a great Doberman
pinscher...galloping around a campsite.  Not only would he follow people
into the bath-house, he would eat their soap, steal their towels and get
blockages from swallowing their flip flops.  Then, he would proceed to lick
the faucets like they were giant water bottles.  He would stash the trash
cans back at the tent and tear into the cooler to play in the ice.  He
would dig a hole so big in the road that RV's would become stuck...His war
dance would cause major bodily harm to anyone within 50 feet of him.  His
favorite toy would be logs for the campfire, which he would carry around
until he could stash them in the tent with the trashcans.  Then, when it
came time to back into a corner, he would find the people with the
doberman, back up to their RV and let it rip.  And the doberman would be
scared...Pepe would climb into the human hammock, curl up and wait until
his hotdogs were ready....not to mention the looks we would get driving
down the road with him in our jeep- hanging his head out in the breeze...
 
hmmm...I think that is why ferrets are made "small"...it would throw the
whole ecological balance out of whack if they weren't.
 
Even big, I wouldn't be scared of them.  If they happened to dook, it would
be the goofiest thing a big animal could ever say to a human.  Then, he'd
start flipping around backwards, with no heed of where he was going, and
suddenly, he flip off the edge of a cliff, and when he landed, he would
bite the nearest cactus to teach it a lesson.
 
well, back to reality,
Stephanie, Chimi & Pepe (the horse)
