Hey Ann - You think your ferret is a thief and drives you nuts ?? I bet you'd really pop a cork if he stole over $40,000.00 !!!!! I brought the bank deposit home from work in one of those big vinyl bags to take to the bank on my way in the next morning. It's getting cold so I wore my leather jacket and draped it over the bar stool. I had the bag on the counter which is normally safe with my purse & all. Well - I now have my daughter's little female, Kiki and I guess she climed up one of the sleeves and onto the counter. (MY 3 darling angels would NEVER do such a thing, ha) Anyway she must have knocked it down and taken it and I just about crapped the next morning when it was gone and I thought I was robbed, but my purse and all was still there, so I quickyly realized this was the job of a master-thief !!! Based on it's size I looked in the appropriate hidey holes and finally found it way under my bed. (by the way , the bottom is ripped off, but who the heck looks under your bed anyway) So anyway, I found the deposit of over 40K, breathed a sigh of relief and DID NOT mention this incident to my boss !!!! She might not have seen the humor in it. So ferret X - you ain't got nothin on my little Kiki !!!!! PS - I was actually more worried about how my baby got down from the counter onto the hard tile floor without hurting herself and NO MORE COATS ARE DRAPED OVER THE BARSTOOLS !!! Being owned by ferrets is a constant learning experience.! [Posted in FML issue 3583]
