When Fox was little, and being especially naughty, he’d get put in here for a “time out.”

You never saw such a look of accomplishment as when he figured out that he could push on the side of the can, tip it over, and crawl out all on his lonesome. Then it became a game, put him in, he’d jump out, put him in, he’d jump out, always with a look that said “Gotcha!”

Ferrets are a gift to the universe to ensure we do not ever think we can control everything.
