Daddy is writing early today because he has had a very trying day. He came down around one pm and took little Lady and Phineas out. We were upset that the rest of us werent taken out but we knew something was up so we held our peace. Daddy too Phineas and i out and put us in our travel carrier. We instantly knew we were going somewhere. Lady knew where we were headed but she didnt tell Phineas so he wouldnt be worried. Daddy took us to the building where the little boy comes and visits us. Daddy let us out and we started walking around the walls sniffing. Daddy sat down and played with us for a while until the little boy and the psychologist lady and the lady from where the little boy is living arrived. Daddy moved to a corner of the room where he could see and hear everything that was going on. Phineas had never been here so i showed him around. When the little boy came in he stood in the doorway and watched us. He finally walked over to Phineas and picked him up. Phineas didnt know what to think and he was a little squirmy. The little boy tried hard to hold Phineas but Phineas is a big solid boy and he managed to get away. When Phineas took off the little boy sat down and cried. Phineas could see the sadness in the little boy but couldnt hear him crying. I heard and saw him crying. I went over and nudged his hand and sat there until he finally reached out and petted me. The lady asked why he was crying. The little boy said his real daddy had left just like Phineas had. He said he didnt like his new daddy. he told the lady about what his new daddy had done to him. And, for the sake of privacy and because it was so gross I will not tell anyone ever what the little boy said. I looked at daddy and I could tell daddy was very angry. His face was hard and his mouth was tight. When our time with the little boy was done daddy scooped us up and put us in our travel carrier. Daddy would reach in the cage and stroke our fur. I dont know why but daddys touch made me feel good. Daddy took us to the big store where all of the woof dogs and other animals came with their human. Daddy held us but we wanted down. Daddy had us on our harness and leashes so he let us walk around and explore. We walked and walked and eventually daddy took us to an area and we both picked out toys that daddy got for us. There werent many people around but the ones that were there saw a big heavy ferret and a tiny little girl ferret carrying toys in their mouth as we walked up to where daddy paid money for our toys. People stopped daddy and talked to him about us. Phineas curled up in daddys arm and held onto his toy. I wanted to see what was going on so I sat in daddys arms and sniffed people and let them hold me and make laughing noises as I leaned up and licked them. It was a funny thing, from the moment we went into the store I started feeling different. I felt a heaviness like ten ferrets laying on me begin lifting off of me. By the time daddy took us out of the store I was dancing all over the floor which made people laugh. Phineas didnt do any dooking but he started sniffing people and stopping and looking up at daddy wanting to be picked up or given a treat. One lady told daddy she didnt know ferrets could be trained to do anything. Daddy laughed and told her to watch him. Daddy sat down on showed Phineas a treat then hid it behind his back and then put his closed hands out and motioned to Phineas to pick the hand with the treat. Phineas sniffed daddys hands then looked up and daddy and walked off. People made sounds of being discouraged but then started laughing when Phineas walked around behind daddy and picked up a treat laying on the floor. Daddy had tried to fake Phineas out but Phineas was too smart to be faked out. People clapped and daddy stood up holding both of us. Then we went home and both of us felt very tired all of a sudden. Daddy let everyone else out but both of us crawled into our beds and went to sleep. We arent going to talk about the rest of our day today. We were all good and played well together. Little Abbey is still going slow but is moving around the room and exploring the tubes and cat tower. She always crawls into her hammock with her head as close to us as she can be. Daddy said he regretted he was a better human with us today. He wouldnt tell us what happened in any detail but we know he is carrying some very heavy emotions on his shoulders. We will be out and try to make daddy feel better tomorrow. Good night to all of our friends, both ferret and human. (c) Copyright 1-21-2015 Alvin Hook
