BEAST MASTER


so i had hubcap out front wednesday night to deuce it up and i looked across the street and thought i saw a possum walking along in the snow. i got a little freaked because it was light out and that would most likely mean the thing had a few too many rabies sandwiches and i'd have to call animal control. but when i looked closely it was just a big white ferret. odd. it went into the garage across the street from my house. i called up the pet store two blocks away and asked if anybody had reported a missing ferret and she said yeah, a big white one. the thing had been missing since friday morning and here it is late wednesday evening. so i get the owner's name and number and then go over and find the little guy in the garage with the help of one of the people that rents the house across the street. we found him no problem and luckily i still have a big ferret cage at the house so put him in. hubcap was on edge something fierce. i gave the owner a call twice, but had to get to work at 9:30 so he called me back thursday morning and was able to pick him up that evening. he was really happy to have his ferret back--it's one of 5 he has. gave me 50 bucks for rescuing the little guy. i tried to refuse, but he told me he'd just come back over the weekend and stick it in the mailbox. the ferret's name was ivan. i think Commander Snausage would've been a better name.
