I'm messing around on the computer yesterday evening around 7:00 p.m. and mama hollers at me to c'mere because there is a weird looking animal in the front flower bed......I'm thinking to myself, now what ?
I go look and there is a ferret walking around on the front stoop and in the flower bed, figuring that it probably belonged to the twenty something neighbors and their kids next door I go ring the bell and ask if they've lost a ferret......the guy says no but that he likes them and begins following me as I turn and walk away to go catch the critter.
I'm trying to figure out in my mind what in the heck I'm going to do with a ferret.....it ain't like ferrets roam wild in nature so I knew it was someones pet that had either escaped or been dumped but from where and when I didn't have a clue.
I'd just figured out in my mind that I'd catch it and put in the live trap I have with some canned cat food, water and a old towel to snuggle in for the night and then take it to the animal shelter this morning and let them figure out what to do with it when the guy next door (who for some odd reason thinks I'm a gruff and unneighborly old bastard
) says, "if don't want to mess with it I'll take it for the the evening and I'll call animal control in the morning for them to come pick it up".
I said, "fine"......he then he kneels down, calls the ferret and it comes right to him. I told him that I had a roomy wire live trap, old towel and some cat food that he was welcome to but he said that he had some dry dog food, hot dogs, old burlap gunny sack and a pet carrier that would work for one night.
If you or anyone you know has lost a ferret or just happens to want one give me a call and I'll hook you up.
