You got what from the pet store?

At my dad's back when I was in high school, as a household all 8 of us decided that we wanted another house animal. We had 1 small dog named Jetta and a fat cat named Charm. One day While I was at wrestling practice my family went to the pet store, they went to get some more fish for my dad's saltwater tank. At the time we had not decided what kind of new animal that we wanted, did we want another dog? Did we want another cat? We couldn't really decide, so when they told me before I had wrestling practice that they were going to the pet store for some fish, I didn't think twice about it and just carried on with the rest of my day.  

Then when I was done with practice and my mom picked me up from practice(my parents are divorced)  I got into the car and I texted my dad and said " Hey, what kind of fish did you get from the pet store?" He replied and said "Just a clownfish, some Green Chromis, and a Ferret. I replied and said, "You got a what from the pet store!" Yep, that's right folks my family went out and got a new family pet without me. I was pretty upset about it, so the next day I go to my dad's after wrestling practice and go take a look at this Ferret. I've never seen one or know what they really do or are like so it was a very interesting first experience.

After a few days I was in love with him, we named him Oliver, Ollie for short. He was the biggest ball of energy and was so much fun to play with. But after doing some research we found that ferrets get depressed when they are alone and without a mate. So boom again my family went out to the pet store without me and came home with another ferret. Her name is Mindy and she is the sweetest little thing.

Ferrets are very social animals and love to play with eachother and humans alike. Our whole family fell in love with them and it wasn't too long before all the kids were fighting over who could hold them and etc. But if you dare ask anyone to clean up after them and clean out their cage they would all act like they didn't hear you and run away, typical kids. 

Today we have a total of 3 ferrets we adopted Frankie last year, he has loved his new home and his new friends since he arrived.
