Hello all! Exciting news, my ferret, Sprite, has been found! She decided to go a couple blocks away and visit our neighbors. Luckily it was a close friend who knew we had a ferret. Her dog was under the house barking at something, and when she looked to see what he was barking at, she thought it was a possum, until Sprite came to her. Not aware that Sprite was missing, they were going to keep her. They even called relatives to find out what to feed a ferret. Sunday, they told my dad what happened and asked if we were missing a ferret. They thought it might have been Sprite, but weren't sure. They gave her a bath (poor baby was filled with fleas). So that is that, my ferret is home now, and I want to thank everyone who sent encouraging thoughts and ideas. I'll make sure to take more precautions now. I won't take for granted that she won't get out. I sure don't want to lose her again. Thanks again to everyone, Stephanie [Posted in FML issue 2219]
