No, I haven't heard of a native critter like that. Tons of pets though...and I have run across people with these pets out in the woods. Chance, my male Dalmatian, almost took down a young woman who was holding a ferret, trying to get the "wild infidel animal" (his view of things). He couldn't believe this young woman was holding this beast that needed killing (by him). He was flabbergasted.

Ruthy, you gonna be around to watch Kingdom Hospital in a half hour? :)

Hey Scott! Good to see you...

Say Hair... any chance it was a Mink? There was that Mink farm not so far away that had the PETA "involuntary release of non-native species" problem sometime back... wasn't that nearby?

If it was a Mink... there's an ecological timebomb shaping up. That would mean that a non-native species has learned to survive in the wild.

I'm sure I'll insult someone here by saying so...but I *really* don't see the appeal of ferrets as pets. They look like weasels! And from what I've heard, most of them are never completely tame...you still have to watch out so you don't get bitten.

Cats are ornery at times, but at least they're attractive critters.

Hi Scott!

No doubt that woman was flabbergasted too! And her beast prolly pooped his drawers!
