Snow's Mine

I'd got attached to the little beggar and had decided to ask my friend, upon her return, if she would consider letting me keep her. Or, if not that, at least let me teach her how to handle Snow, how to play with her, and allow me visiting rights.

As it turned out I didn't have to do any of those things.

She gave me a call and said she was home and would collect Snow on Saturday. Then she paused and said, "Unless...". I waited. Then she said, "Unless you'd like to keep her. I'll pay all her expenses, vet's bill and so on, if you just look after her."

Snow was originally bought for my friend's son after he nagged and nagged that he wanted a ferret. (He'd seen one on tv or something). And - after the manner of kids - even though he'd promised to take care of her, clean her cage, etc., he'd lost interest and his mother had wound up looking after her. She had no idea about ferrets, she'd done her best, fed her, cleaned her cage, but she hadn't a clue that Snow needed to come out of her cage to have a run around, or have toys to play with, she'd just given her blankets to make a little sleeping nest.

Of course I said yes.

So now she's mine, and, as soon as I can afford it, I'm buying her a bigger cage - with a run attached - so that she can stretch her legs and play with her toys even when I'm not around.

She still hasn't bitten me. Though she did bite my sister, who popped up to visit to see her. I told her that open sandals, rather than socks and shoes, was a bad idea. Snow doesn't know that toes aren't things to catch...
