...and found it so completely comical all the strange/curious looks I received from people ;D One woman couldn't help but ask what he was as he was "attempting to climb a tree" (he was standing up against the trunk of the tree, gripping it with is front paws, while sort of jumping up and down on his back paws hahaha ). The look on her face when I told her he was a ferret was too funny. I barely held back laughing. But by and large, everyone thought he was very cute (who can blame them, he certainly is ;D ) We had tons of fun, and I'm glad I took him! I only got one or two pictures, I'll post them shortly

I enjoy the strange looks we get too when we're out and about, it's fun and is a wonderful way to educate people about the fuzz. Had one lady ask me why I would walk a rodent, I scooped up Tai and scruffed her so that she could see her teeth, and let the lady know that ferrets are not rodents, they don't eat seeds and veggies, they are carnivors and eat rodents... she couldn't get away from me fast enough!

Hahaha!!! That is too good! I didn't mind the looks, and MoJo loved it! So it was well worth people thinking I was a bit off

I hate it when people call my ferrets rodents. I have one lady at work who always asks about my rodents. I've explained many times that they aren't but she doesn't believe me.
They have so much fun when they go outside..sniff everything to death lol. Then they pass out when you take them back inside. Good exercise!

I have to admit, I like feeling as if I'm part of a "select" community -- ferret lover -- it beats Boy Scouts and the Petroleum Club any day!

How cute! Maybe he thinks he's a squirrel? I can't wait for pictures! Sounds like he had a blast

Awwh, I should take our furs out to the pine trees out front. They'd love sniffing and trying to climb them. When I take mine out and about, they certainly make friends. Children usually love them most of all.

I certainly agree with you! ;D Jackie, he just might...especially since he had his tail all puffed out like one I wish I had gotten a picture of him trying to climb, but at that point I was laughing at him and trying to hold a some-what normal conversation with another woman walking I do have a two pictures of him exploring, though! Will post asap! Shiloh, he definitely loved the trees...he tried to drag a pretty big stick around, but couldn't manage

What a cute little fellow! Looks like he really enjoys the outdoors It's too hot here during the day for the girls to go outside, but I take them at night sometimes when it's cooler
