I was away on a business trip for a week so my wife invited her sister, Alexia, overnite to visit. Alexia had no exposure to ferrets other than ours (FFZ) and limited time with Bandi. There were two things about Bandi she did not know: 1) he loved the shower, 2) he had an uncanny ability to know when a closed door wasn't fully latched, and 3) how to make maximum mischief from an opportunity. OK, three things she didn't know. Since my wife was the only one in the house and Bandi had slipped away for a snooze (out of sight....), Alexia didn't close the bathroom door tightly when she took her shower. The sound of the water roused Bandi. His investigation showed the door was vulnerable so he slipped in. He quietly climbed the back of the tub, nosed the curtain aside, and he was in the shower. The fact that all his previous attempts had been stymied by us only fed his joy. Dancing days were here again! Alexia was blissfully unaware of all this because she was facing the shower. Eventually his frolics made him brush the back of her legs. A quick glance showed a whirling dervish in the tub with her. He must have looked like the thing that popped out of the guy's chest in Alien. Alexia literally jumped out, shrieking for her life. Alexia had figured out what happened by time my wife got there. The shrieks had already turned to laughs and Oh my god's, but she was still hopping from the rush of adrenalin. The ruckus only excited Bandi all the more and he was in the full frenzy only a ferret owner can picture. The sight of the two of these two wet bodies bouncing in full cry just about killed my wife. I only wish I could have seen it too. Till next time......Rudy the ferlosopher [Posted in FML issue 1148]
