We Need More Ferrets
“Free ferrets?” Co asked. “Those little weasel things?” She
shook her head. “Cute faces, but wouldn’t have them running around my house.”
I said, “I used to have one. They’re hilarious, but I bet
people would rather get a bonus.”
“They raise them in one brother’s basement,” Shane
explained. “It’s one of the few things they
do together.”
Co shook her head again. “Not in my house. They look sneaky,
like they’re up to something bad.”
Shane laughed. “The brothers sell the ferrets and donate the
money to animal shelters. It brings them together and does a little good.”
“Whatever works,” I said, grateful for the things that
connect rather than divide good people.
Today I’ll be grateful for whatever connects good people.
