I didn t want to disturb him until the last minute so I prepared the carrier, got his *buddy,* loaded the car, stopped for gas and drove to the vet. Upon arrival I searched EVERYWHERE for him, only to discover he was NOT in the car. Two hours I drove home frantic, wondering if I had managed to somehow lose him along the way On arriving at home I found him curled up in the hammock in his cage right where I left him! Had to make the trip again that night, but this time I made sure I had the ferret with me! [Posted in FML issue 4335]
