lOTtlt Odobr 1100 mile trip for pair to new home at Atikokan fcyWtaaTfcaM line rooming white ferret on TV She and rums but the camera failed to the tunic met charm That after twin short bit of home movie on Andy the turret we uaed had the definite longing to hear of tittle terra feet around the once more Andy much more handsome than tho one on TV Ilia tag hair waa lipped In black Ilia leg and point the black and a toft cream white a legs are quite short he travelled with tittle along like a woundup toy In the house he toured round and round looking Into every comer with great Interest At hot air registers for belly and with electric cord hod find a loop to one through rather than walk over Every now and then In grand tour perhaps over come by nil freedom Andy would flip over in a few complicated somersaults then go Hoop a complete collapse with all four feet straight out to the aides Begin chase The ferret on TV supposedly called a jumping ferret because It Jumped from the table to someone a arms had nothing on Andy Wanting to play he d atop In front of one of us and hop up and down In one spot all four feet at once then begin the chase And that was hilarious Andy ran with his front feet and hopped with his hind stopping every now and then with a dated look or else using to chase himself in a v circle giving silly little grunts all the while Our part in the game was to hop back at him in mock chaseand flight It was necessary to be quite careful because Andy on catching us was likely to give a good bite in all the excitement and believe me he had the teeth to do it Real Job Although most of his time was spent In the house entertaining us Andy real Job was to rid the barns of rats which he did most enthusiastically The first time we took him to the hay ham he went into ecstasies hopping up and down on the piles of hay or Mrs Helen Mrs Viaterhouse and Mrs Helena Cunningham spent an two week bos inplo Honda where the visited World press Gardens and mans

always had to sort through the wash quite carefully throwing It Into the machine Once awakened Andy overjoyed lo have company and Insisted on trying to climb up my 1 11 bet the housewife who did the wash with a ferret dinging to one leg In ear Hit frlendllneaa waa unset to most people as took a fair bit of nerve to let this little predator carefully lick up their arms around their neck and start whuff ling softly with his entire nose stuck In their ear The ferret on TV was whisked away because during her excitement began smelling musky and muskier With Andy that was the only way we could find him when he got loose in the house and hid We d go from room to room sniffing More often than not bed be burrowed right down to the end of somebody pillowcase Heaving pillow Once I had a cold and t catch the smell before climbing into bed When my pillow started heaving around 1 Just about had a fit Andy was here only a few months The hinge on his cage came loose one day and he was away and gone
