Saturday I went on a Toys for Tots toy run with a verterans' motorcycle group. (I'm not a veteran, due to medical issues). After the run, I fed the kats n ferrets, cleaned litter boxes, relaxed for a few minutes, and gave treats to all the critters. I went outside to secure the motorcycle, took about 5 minutes. From that point, I did not see Bobo for 3 DAYS. Tore the house (double wide on a raised foundation) apart, went out with the squeaker for an hour, twice. I was so distraught, that I contemplated rehoming Lilly, my last remaining ferret, hence the post. I live between 20 acres of hayfields and hundreds of acres of woods. I went out 3-4 times a day with the squeaker, and every half hour or so squeaking and calling from the front and back porches. Now for the WOW ending: Around 10 last night I opened the door to call Bobo, assuming it was futile, but just in case, you know? Never give up. So Mr Jingles the kat blasted thru the door opening and I yelled, "Hey! Go find Bobo and bring him home! Do something useful for once!" (I would always say that to Ding Ding/Mr Jingles has needle sharp teeth and has drawn blood many times due to his neurosis/paranoia) 10 minutes later I call Jingles and he comes running up the steps. I called Bobo again and closed the door. Not a minute later I heard scratching at the front door and there's Bobo. I lost my freaking mind! Never thought i'd live to see my kat rescue my ferret. Mr Jingles you're my hero! ding3 by unclejoe1158, on Flickr

Oh my gosh!! It's an early Christmas miracle. Good boy Mr. Jingles and good boy Bobo! He knew where his home was. I'm sorry for the panic, though, I've felt that before when Rocky took himself on an unsanctioned jaunt through the neighbors' yards. Phew!

Mr Jingles and his siblings, Jack and Cubbie were born under my deck in Aug 2020. He has a very strong personality and I've always known he was special. His new nickname is Hero.

OMG, that is crazy! I'm so glad Bobo came home and Mr. Jingles helped him find his way home.
