Let me share an experience with you. I have a recliner downstairs. The ferrets' room is upstairs. They remain caged when I am away. There is a plexiglass barrier at the door to their room. I came home one day after work and, while putting something in my closet, felt a cold wet nose on my leg. I looked down to find one of the ferrets out. I hurried to the ferrets' room and found all but one more still in the cages. Maggie was missing. I searched everywhere and finally saw a tail sticking out from under the recliner. When I tried to pick her up, she pulled away, but stayed there. I realized something must be wrong and examined the situation on my belly with a flashlight. Sure enough, Maggie was caught. I don't know how she escaped the cage or the room nor do I know how she got her toe caught in the recliner, but Maggie is one digit short of a set on her front left paw now. And, the recliner - nobody home. it was just sitting there. And, the moral of this story is ... renee :) & The Poop-in-the-Corner Gang [Posted in FML issue 4063]
