I've always loved taking my ferrets on walks ever since I learned they made leashes for them. It's so nice to see them run and scamper about with their tail adorably bushed out! And the other day I took Ismene out for what is probably going to be her last walk of the year with the weather getting colder and all. It was chilly and windy yet she insisted on staying in the damp shade right by the deck! I didn't want that though so I took her down to the leaves pile by our trees.
She wanted to go back almost immediately to the deck area but then a certain tree caught her eye. She hopped up to it and sort of jumped at it. Then she did the funniest, most unexpected thing I've ever seen her do! She started to climb the tree!
She went up the tree with such determination all I could do was watch in awe! She then turned her head to look at me as if asking for help down and I picked her off the tree. We ended our little walk by sitting on the couch on my front deck.
Have your ferrets ever pulled silly stunts like this?
