Ferrets love to remind us that they are always there following us around. We cheer aloud when one of us opens the pantry door and a ferret does not slip into the pantry. When I hear my husband cheering and telling the ferrets he was too quick for them, I know a door has been opened and closed w/o a ferret slipping by him. When we come home we have to block the front door with our feet (like dog owners do when their dog wants to rush out when the owner returns home from work) so a ferret doesn't escape. (Sometimes they slip by and I have to cahse them down outside.) I agree with the owner that said ferrets have excellent hearing. My ferrets know which door is being opened and dart to slip into the forbidden area before we are able to shut the door. Sound familiar? : ) [Posted in FML issue 1274]
