Sneaky Striper

Well I let my 3 ferrets run around the house when I kind of fell asleep :( .

When i woke up after a 30 minute nap my ferret Striper (he was the best ferret alive!)was missing so after an hour I started to panic. I called my mom & dad to help me look & of course it was at 10:00P.M.! Then I started to look in my back yard & he had a collar on so I trying to hear him.When I walked by the outside of my dryer vent when I found his collar hooked on it! He had crawled through my dryer vent to my backyard !

We were out there till 2:00 in the morning trying to find him. Then I hung up flyers saying missing ferret,reward,& a picture.

My dad & my uncle went looking for Striper while I was at school. When I got home from school my mom came & told me that Striper didn't make it :( When she told me that it felt like the world just stopped. She said that my 2 Doberman Pinchers got him & killed him.

I swear he was the best ferret alive because he loved car rides,kids,& even baths!

But we gave him a nice funeral & we buried him :) I miss him so much & he will always have a place in my heart!!
