Yep, a ferret. Several years ago, I was out for a morning run and I saw him in the middle of the road. I took him home. It took us three days to find the owner. By then, my sons had become attached to him. The owner told us we could keep him. He is one of the cutest and sweetest fury creatures on the planet. Fortunately, my 80 pound dog likes him as well.
I was telling my lawyer that during my separation my mattress was on the floor (my wife took our bed and I was building a new one) and my ferret would climb up on my bed during the night and give me a kiss on the cheek. (For real, ferrets give little ferret kisses.) My lawyer melted while I was telling her about that.
