Yesterday on my bike ride I came up on what at first looked like a squirrel trotting down the bike path. Wait, trotting? It's gait was all wrong for a squirrel. Sure enough, it was what appeared to be a ferret with a dead chipmunk carried proudly in it's mouth. Not surprising as I think we have really stupid chipmunks around here. Earlier yesterday when I was catching some sun and reading a book one scampered directly under the lounger (felt like it ran into the leg of it) looked around and then trotted off. I probably could have reached down and grabbed it.

Ferrets are ruthless. We saw one here once, attacking a bunny that was three times it's size. It was desperately ruthless, and had no fear of us, or Gidget on the other side of the fence. It only cared about that rabbit.

They aren't native here... couldn't find a native form of weasel that looked like it. I think he must have been a former pet.
