The Noble Pagan Forums - Jail break!!!

So last night bubby was working on CR's head ( he wanted a haircut) and we were all hanging out in the kitchen blah blah blah.
Then we heard the dogs ( Link my pound puppy "australian cattle shepherd mix" and Ems my pitbull mix) acting up. Honestly we didna think anything of it as they make noises like that when they are playing "butt sniff tag" with the cats or are bored and just picking on each other.
Moments later something small and furry came racing into the kitchen right under the chair CR was using. For a moment we all thought it was on of the cats....nope.
This is lower to the ground, longer and makes fervent churfy noises when excited. It seems senor Stretchbunny ( Smokey Stretchbunny our ferret) had made a jail break and gallant getaway from his cage upstairs!
What a little brat!!!
I am just happy he made it to the kitchen without getting eaten!!!!
Needless to say we have taken measures in reinforcing his cage with some duct tape ( it fixes EVERYTHING). Hopefully that will hold for awhile eh?

Just thought I would share.

oh noes....

this is why, my daughter can't have our friend's ferret. It is puppy chow. OR ANY other furry, four legged animal or birds.....

glad it made it in one piece.

My son is a Mythbusters NUT! Last night's episode was all about Duct Tape! It was GREAT!! You know that stuff can lift a car off the ground and they even built a sail boat with it....and it floated and moved on wind power!

Now my 6 yo wants stock in Duct tape. Uh oh....I see taped animals.

I love the little furries. I used to have ferrets and I loved them but 3 years ago I moved and had to find homes for all 12 of them. The only problem with ferrets is their poop. I tried Guinea pigs at the new apartment but they are stupid. Now I have 3 rats. They have 80% of the awesome fun of a ferret and they are more clingy so they like to spend more time playing with with you. I love my rattykins. They get along with my dog and both my cats. We're a very diverse home.

we (darma and i) would love diverse critters but our pooch rules the roost and she enjoys trying to kill anything she thinks she can take so not good. not that she is mean or aggressive just has a very big predator instinct is also a great hunter.

Thats ferrets for you. Unfortunately, their illegal in californai. Plan to get one in a few years when I move up to washighton

ILLEGAL?
Why?
I mean sure their poop is fairly foul.....however if you keep up on their cage and keep up on their bathing they really don't stink too bad. Senor Stretchbunny is actually the least stinkiest ferret I have ever encountered ( and I'm not saying that just because we own him).

I could understand if they were venomous ( oh look at that CUTE King Cobra!) or dangerous to your health in some other way.....but ferrets are mostly just accused of being...stinky.....(if you don't keep up with them really).
