Out of the window and under the shed

Our wonderful ferret – Trigger – a rescue from the RSPCA, is a fair amount bigger than Fifi, his friend. He being a he and she a she.

One day we decided to let them have the run of the conservatory as well as the downstairs house, unfortunately, and didn’t credit Trigger with the jumping skills he so obviously has. We were putting the ferrets away in their cage but Trig was no where to be found. Eventually our lodger saw his face poking out from under the shed in the garden.

We went out and enticed the brute out with some food. Fortunately he is very lazy and a little thick and didn’t think to explore any other gardens. We eventually realised that he had climbed the back of the sofa in the conservatory, jumped to the open window (which we naturally thought was out of reach), dropped the meter or so to the ground and obviously had some fun. Finally, exhausted from the adventure, curled up in the warmest, cosiest darkest place in our garden, under the shed.
