Clumsy Ferret

This is Hippy, who is fat and quite clumsy.  He’s our shelter ferret, which means we rescued him from our local SPCA.  He’d been left there on the street in front of the shelter in the night, in a cage with another ferret.

Anyway, he’s so clumsy sometimes it’s hard to believe he can get anything done in his life.  When he runs, his feet push out sidewards with every step.  If you watch him from behind, it looks like he’s roller blading, but in fast forward.

I placed him on the windowsill for some fresh whiffs and look what happened.
