This summer there was a joke around the shelter that every ferret needing a home in Las Vegas must see my ads on TV and know the phone number. They give it to their owners when they decide to give them up. Thats how we got so over crouded! Well yesterday really made me think about that. Only this time its weirder! I got a call on Sunday from a man that was at a gas station. He pulled in to see a man chasing a ferret around under his car. He went over to help thinking it was the mans ferret. The man from Cali explained he just drove in and this was the first time he had stopped. He said the ferret dropped out from under his car. Only he didn't say ferret he said thing, he didn't know what it was. The Las Vegas man caught the ferret and gave him back to the Cali man thinking he would do something with the ferret. When he did the man put the ferret in a cooler and started shaking it around! The L.V. Man got upset and said give me the ferret, I know where to take it! As you know it was here! The ferret is a large neutered male, sable with a blaze and a few other markings. Sems to be well kept. He was covered in grease and motor dirt but otherwise ok. He is very scared but very sweet. Maybe he wanted to come live with the crazy ferret lady in Las Vegas but his parents said no, so he ran away and stowed away in the car engine. Its a miracle he made it here in one peice. I have named hm Stowaway, Stowie for short. If anyone knows anything about this ferret let me know. He is safe and will visit the vet today. Just when you think you've seen it all.....
