Today I was at my laptop upstairs, when I was interrupted by Mrs Lyle screaming that some kind of animal had gotten into the house from the garden. I went down and was surprised to see a little ferret, cafe-au-lait colour and smaller than they seem on the telly, dashing about the dining room. Mrs Lyle was very worried, exclaiming that it could be ferocious and bite, or relieve itself on the carpet.
Fortunately, I was wearing my Sonny Crockett T-shirt, so I acted as Miami Vice's finest would surely have done, by herding it the offender into the sitting room and securing the perimeter by shutting the door. It turned out to be quite a friendly chap, and remarkably continent, so I picked it up and we put it in the cats' travel basket. It enjoyed some ham and a sit down while we called the RSPCA, only to find they are shut on Wednesday. So I took it to my room for protective custody, and after a short time its owner came to bail it out. Mrs Lyle had seen a man on a shed roof outside and asked him if he was missing a ferret. Turns out he was. He was pleased to see Milly again (for that was its name, although I would have called it Gina).
Anyway I took a few pics as it was such a delightful animal.
( Il court, il court, le furet... )
Yesterday we also were visited by Ronny's best friend Chip, and they had a little play fight. Chip is a charming creature, more of a tomboy than Dollface.
( Never seen a pretty girl look so tough )
