Hello all, Haven't written for awhile but thought I would let you in on a wonderful ferret toy. The Seattle Slug !!!!! :-) Not the real live, gushy one but a cardboard, paper, stone wheel one. Our ferrets love to chase it around and grab the wheel or tail. The only problem is that the tail tears off and I am constantly re-gluing it. Now the real reason to own one...... Pongo escaped again! He was gone two nights. He took his sister Kai with him but we found her the next day. I took Willie out on a leash to mark the way home from where Pongo was last spotted and squeaked his favorite toy, but no luck. Last night I decided to take the slug for a walk because Pongo has always gone ape over it. Well, after walking around the area he was and a few other spots that looked ferret friendly, I returned home. Apparently the first area was where he was because there he was waiting he the travel cage with the look of what took you so long to get back :-) The moral of the story is -- if your little one escapes, don't give up. Try all types of tricks to entice your ferret home even if you feel thoroughly stupid. I am sure anyone who saw me walking the slug felt I was one old lady that had lost her mind. And I am not that old!!!! Give a hug to all. Alice Greg Hastings [log in to unmask] Alice Dutton Auburn, WA Books had instant replay long before televised sports. [Posted in FML issue 1154]
