After hearing about all of the ferrets that were in the shelter in Florida, I got to wondering how one would go about adopting a ferret from a shelter. I saw a lot of requests for food and supplies, but I don't remember anything about placing them. (Could be that ferret-like attention span of mine too) People ask me from time to time about having a ferret as a pet, and if there are really ferrets out there in need of homes, I'd prefer to point them to a shelter before sending them to a pet store. (obligatory ferret story) On Sunday afternoon during the football game, Tataille managed to get his head into the crack under the kitchen cabinets. I had previously sealed up the larger gaps, but had left those alone since there was no way he could manage to squeeze in there. Well I was wrong, and after a few minutes of feeling around with my fingers I was satisfied that he was stuck. I got out the hammer and detached the cabinet section from the wall in order to disassemble it. B.G. came over and sat down with me on the backside of the cabinet to watch, and out crawls Tataille! When I moved the cabinet away from the wall, all of a sudden there was a reason for him to go forward, and he managed to get his body through the crack his head was stuck in. (About one inch I'd guess) It reminded me a lot of Roger Rabbit when Roger just slips out of the handcuffs. (I missed the end of the game too.) I'm convinced that there is no such thing as a Ferretproof house. Brian, Tataille, and B.G. Brian K.
