Sunday Ferret Blogging 31 Oct

Ripley was known as the "Propaganda Ferret," a sweet, docile thing named after the heroine in the Alien movies. She was the only ferret I've seen fall asleep on someone's lap. She's been responsible for several people getting ferrets, hence the nickname. That said, among other critters, she was the Alpha Ferret and let them know it. Nessie, her cagemate, was built like an East German shot putter, but knew her place when little Ripley imposed her will. Ripley and Nessie often worked together to ensure the floor was cleared of cats when they were loose. Cats learned the Air Force axiom, Altitude is Life.
