Ferrets Should Be Legal Because They're So Darn Cute!



This morning - after working on a client's website it is time to clean up after the ferrets and jump on the dreaded eliptical. The ferrets are downstairs playing and getting into trouble, and Shorty our Corgi accompanies me.

Shorty is the only small dog, the other dogs range from 55 to 100 lbs. He is the baby and he owns the place. He plays very rough with our Golden Retriever but is a little sissy when it comes to the ferrets.

Quito is the most recent ferret in the house. He has been passed around and I don't know how old he is. He lived as an only pet with an older person for 18 months before he came here. He was very shy and didn't know what to make of these gigantic dogs and other ferrets.

But he has blossomed. I've seen it in other ferrets and it is a joy to watch.

Shorty likes to play. He's a little devil chasing the ferrets and tormenting the cats (one of which is going to need anti-anxiety medication any day now).

Quito won't have it. If Shorty wants to start trouble, Quito will finish it. Not quite 2 lb Quito is determined to get the best of Shorty.
How I wish I had the video camera this morning, but these guys never cooperate in the presence of a camera. I hope someone can capture the fun at their house and enter our video contest. Then again, it might be shown on the DFG website - mean rotten ferret chases sweet little dog.
