Consider the Ferret (aka Ski to Sea Part 1.)

While traversing the Ski to Sea street fair in Fairhaven, us four travelers dreamed up this blog as well as encountered some things that were downright strange, but not altogether unexpected, in our lovely town of residence. Bellingham.

The Ferret.

As we stood eating our cupcakes and soft serve cones, they come in 50 flavors by the way, we noticed a ferret weaseling... er sneaking up the street. On the whole, ferrets tend to prefer dark corners and at best, perhaps a nice seedy alley way, but its owner yanked the hapless creature with its short legs and dragging belly up the sidewalk on its leash.

What do you think? Will the ferret catch on as the ultimate pet?

hmm...


well...

Nope! They will not.



Hey! Speaking of leashes, we also encountered a child that seemed to be in a similar situation to the ferret, except that it was shrieking and straining to get away. Understandable behavior, I think, for anyone who finds themselves tethered up.

Poor kid, on a leash and has a monkey breathing down his neck...

Hit-or-miss?

Well we'll negotiate the ferret but the kid on a leash thing? Definitely a miss.

Oh Bellingham...

I completely agree! But I'm super sad that the pictures don't show up. :( What can we do to fix this?

YES. The pictures are excellent. I love the ferret heart!
