If you had read my post about tuna, then you know Vixey can climb. She has climbed up on the counter to steal food. Vixey and I have had some words over this stealing food thing. You don't steal steak from a pergnant lady and not get her mad. Now she steals from hubby....HEHEHE.
She eats very well so I don't know why she is doing this. hubby says " because she can".
Vixey has climbed up and into the bookcase. I don't know how she does it. I have tried to watch her and see but she won't do it when we are looking. Its that second we turn our heads to look at Todd or the phone rings.
Today I am sitting on the bed watch a movie and I hear something in the other room. There is Vixey up on the desk stealing my mail. The funny thing is I was asking hubby what he did with the calculator. He told me nothing. I was mad at him. Now I know he didn't take it. I was most likely Vixey.
I feel like I have a pet sqirrel.

Ahhh, Mad Max's counterpart  I always wondered if there were more of him about It was rather like the day I came into my bedroom to find all my husbands clean t-shirts on the floor and a whole mess of fuzzbutts playing and bouncing around in them. The question...how did they ever get them.  My husband's T's are always folded neatly on the top shelf of the cupboard right overtop of his hanging clothes. The shelf is so high up that I can't reach it except on my tip-toes. So how in the h*** did my little carpetsharks manage to get at the t-shirts. This continued to happen for a couple of weeks. Now, getting into a closed cupboard is one thing (they're magnet type, so if you kick under the door long enough you can spring it right?? so much for ferretproofing 101) How does a ferret get into the top shelf of the cupboard.....Mad Max....climbing up my husband's good suits, that's how. He would climb up the suits, play in the pockets (there are neat things like pens and tie clips, change) then climb up the suit and hop onto the shelf. You then brace your back against the wall behind all those nice, clean, sweet smelling shirts and push....squirrel...naw little sh** Good luck sweetie, your work is cut out for you...speaking from experience. ciao |

Ha Ha, thats why the ferrets are only allowed in the main house here. They also have an outside play yard on the deck with a swimming pool and sandbox. they have plenty of enrichment in those areas. I installed doors 2 feet high on each bedroom and bathroom but Seed of Chuckie jumps them in about 3 seconds flat so those only slow them down if you want to go in that room. Otherwise we have to close everything off while they are out. I would be a nervous wreck if they were free roam!!!

We block of the kitchen so they can't get under the fridge.We have a very open floor plan and Vixey can get up on the counter where the bar stools are. The stools are metal and I can't figure out she uses them to get up there. They are really high stools. All the bedrroms and bathrooms are bocked off. They just have the living room area to play.
