Couldn't find Edgar

I get this call while I'm at work ... all our anxiety isn't very good when we have a free-range ferret.

He's disappeared many times before but every time I would tell my boyfriend he's alright, he's sleeping. Over a hundred times at least!

Anyways, I get this call -- they can't find Edgar! I get home an hour & a half later, walk in the door, no one's home (they're looking outside as he can get out the screen door).

The house is a disaster! Couch tipped over, everything thrown all over the place -- anywhere & everywhere he could have been, he wasn't ...
I freaked out - started crying, we both did ...
looking in the woods, weeds, tons of bushes outside our house. My worst nightmare..!!

I'm crying my eyes out, my boyfriend comes in from the 90+ degree weather (:C ferrets get heatstroke easy).

Then my boyfriend comes running out saying, "Baby come here!...go to the couch" & INSIDE the couch.. INSIDE.. SOMEHOW there is a lump!

.... I was so happy!! ....

Anyways, ferrets find their way inside of things. Curious little babies <3
