Lindsay the Ferret Tamer

I know it has been a long time since I posted so the following posts will be an update on what has happened since February.

After I graduated I worked with at my old job as a part time graphic designer. They let me work while I searched for jobs, which was really nice of them. Well, I found a sweet job doing graphic design for a scrapbooking company, which is about a 2 minute drive from where I live. I couldn't be more blessed.

During my last week at work my boss was telling me about a commercial they were going to shoot and how they needed to find a ferret. My ears perked up and was glad to offer my ferret services for a commercial shoot.

However, they wanted a "traditional" looking ferret, aka not a white ferret like Frido, so they went to the pet store and purchased one knowing they wouldn't be able to return it. On the day of the shoot Pat and I brought Frido to work as an understudy, incase the other ferret got camera shy.

That day I found my calling in life as a "Ferret Tamer." I spent the whole day taking both ferrets on walks, getting them familiar with the set and actors, and helping shoot the commercial.

The commerical was a success after multiple scenes and shots. My company knowing they wouldnt be able to return the ferret for a refund offered me the new ferret I discovered I have a major problem—whenever someone offers me an animal my brain turns off and I automatically say "Yes" without thinking. So that day we came home with one more ferret.

After a weekend of potty training and trying to keep track of two ferrets I broke down and needed to find a new home for our new little ferret. It was fun to see Frido and her play but I couldn't handle how I felt like I was living in a Zoo. We found a friend of a friend who already had a ferret and was looking for another one. Everything turned out great, thank goodness. It was fun while it lasted, but once again Frido is the only child.

In the short time they were together they became good friends.


Me and my new found passion and future carreer as a Ferret Tamer.
