King Baby's Crazian Persuasion

2 days ago an important and much loved family member of mine passed away... Our almost 10 year old ferret Daisy. My wife Frannie loved that rat so much and so did I for that matter. She learned many tricks in her lifetime but none more endearing than giving kisses on command. I figured a great way to honor and remember her would be to re-tell how she came around to becoming our first "kid" together. Frannie and I were in a Petco on Central Avenue in Yonkers not too far from our college when we saw a cute little runty ferret getting pushed around in the ferret tank. We asked to look at her and it was obvious she and Frannie had some weird bond. Frannie wanted to take her home but we were broke college kids...we couldn't afford the 120 just for the ferret, let alone the supplies and cage which rounded the total to well over 300 dollars. But there was hope in the figure of a baggy jeaned petco employee. as we were walking out the guy who helped open the cage for us comes up to me and asks if I really wanted the ferret because he would get it for me at a discounted price. I said sure and he said he would come right back and to meet him in the back of the lot by the dumpsters. Now frannie and I were not really thinking, I guess in my mind I thought he would buy the ferret and supplies using his employee discount and pass the savings to us. Frannie and I are in the back lot waiting for him when he comes out with a trash bag. He tells me it'll be 100 for everything I was like ok when do I come back for the ferret and the supplies? He laughs pulls Daisy out from his pants and says he put a starter cage, bedding, food, and toys in the garbage bag...hahaha i figured out what was happening, thanked him and sped all the way back to campus hoping to god there weren't any cameras in the Petco lot...We decided to name her Daisy and she stayed with us for a few semesters hidden under my bed until she came home to fran's parents house where she romped, bit ankles, and terrorized cats all day until she passed. She was a very very special ferret, smarter than most ferrets I had ever seen and smaller than most large rats.... Daisy never grew in size from the day we brought her home, she stayed our little runt and entertained us day in and day out. She even outlived her younger, bigger Ferret siblings Lilly and Casey. I'm sure they are all wrecking havoc together wherever they are...I miss you fuzzbutt.
