Hello, This is going to be a sad post so if you dont like them you will need to skip this one. 1st of all I would like Sandee to check on my little boy whose name is: Runner the ferret It is one year ago today since he left me. Runner came to me on a very hot day, I was busy doing laundry when the phone rang, it was Someone who had got my phone number from Super Pets pet store, He said that his dog kept barking and he went outside to see what was going on, his dog was on a tie out leash, their was a ferret runner loose in his yard, so the man got a 55 gallon white drum and laid it on its side and put some food in it and the ferret when into it and he called me. The man said to me you how are you going to get the ferret out of the drum?? Then he said to me you are not going to stick your hand down in the barrow are you?? He said ferrets bite, I just laughed and said to him either he is going to bite or he isnt going to bite me we will both know in a minute. He was a long dehydrated sable ferret, and no he did not bite me or try to get away. I took him home and feed him soft food for 44 days before he began to eat kibble. I put up signs and had one call from a lady that said she lost her ferret a year ago in the winter time and wanted to know if I had her ferret!! My first thought was your ferret has passed away by now or someone else has it. Her ferret was a female albino. I guess that I do have to give her credit for wondering what happened to her ferret. I remember little things about Runner, Every Tuesday I would clean the bathroom, put down clean newspapers, when I was done Runner would come in the bathroom to check things out he would go Potty on the newspapers then he would always wipe his butt on the clean throw rugs, it used to make me mad, but now when I do the bathroom, I always think of his pretty little sable eyes looking up at me and saying Mom I didnt have toliet paper so I had to use your rugs. Also when he 2 cages mates would wrestle he would RUN as hard and he could and come and sit by my feet and look up at me it was like Mom come and help they are being bad. I named him Runner because either he had run away(Escaped) from his home or someone had let outside and when I found him he looked like he had running for days. Well thats it Mom has vented for today and misses you Runner, you are still my boy in my heart. Ada (Weaselpals) [Posted in FML issue 4952]
