Ok, I'll share one. Many years ago, I lived in a condo with four wonderful fuzzies, all of whom have since gone to wait at the bridge. One day, my DH and I decided to take Princess (a lovely DEW girl) out for a walk in the landscaping. As ferrets often do, she decided to hug the wall and sniff every little thing that was around the base of the building. All was fine, until she found a spot where there was a gap between the siding and the foundation, just big enough to stick her head into. Of course, once she got her head in, she got scared and struggled when she couldn't pull it back out. We were absolutely terrified for her, and determined to ANYTHING up ot and including tear the building down to get our baby out safely. Fortunately, we were able to find a prybar and pull the siding away enough to get her loose. We ran to the vet immediately (right across the street), and he was able to reasure us that no lasting damage was done. She was just a little bruised from struggling so much. That day we learned that ferret proofing needs to be done in the outside environment, as well as the inside of your house. It could have been tragic, but we were lucky that time. [Posted in FML 6091]
