Now how do you ferret proof a refrigerator?! Tuesday afternoon I stayed home from work and about 3:15 I dozed off. At 3:30 I woke up to the sounds of "kerplunk, bop, plop, kerplunk, crash, kerplunk, kerplunk". I'm a light sleeper so as soon as I heard the first kerplunk I woke up trying to figure out what they had gotten in to. After a few more "kerplunks" I jumped up and ran into the kitchen. Here's what I saw - fridge door wide open, broken eggs all over the floor, cups and bowls on the floor, rice and taters on the floor, 3 ferrets IN the fridge watching as they drop more "goodies" off the shelves, 1 ferret still trying to climb in the fridge, 3 more nosing through the treasures on the floor, 1 ferret lapping up broken eggs! My first response was "oh no, they could have gotten shut in there!" Then after calming down I began to laugh at them. It took a few minutes to regain my composure enough to clean the mess up and remove the ferrets from the fridge. I must have not shut it all the way (first time in 10 years) when I got my water, but the seal doesn't seem real tight because I've opened and closed it 100 times since trying to figure out HOW they opened it. I've propped a container of litter in front till I pick up a cement block this evening. Word of warning - check those refrigerators! Hugs. tle [Posted in FML issue 1129]
