Steve McGrane was asking yesterday about ferrets and the front door.
 
My problem is not the ferrets getting out by themselves - it's me trying to
get out the door without them.
 
When they are up & about it takes some planning & a mad dash.  First I try
to get all my things like my purse, lunch bag, keys, etc.  all ready by the
door ready to grab.  After my shoes & coat are on, the dogs get their
cookies, then I get the ferts to follow me down the hall to their room,
where they each get a small treat, the I run like heck to the door, grabbing
my things on the way out.  If I forgot anything, or got waylaid, I have to
start all over again, because I'm of course being followed by the
pitter-patter of little feets.  Once I have successfully made it to the
door, even if I'm not being closely followed I always look carefully, and
never slam the door.
