Family's pet ferret and pet boa constrictor missing.

[Swede]

Sisco slithered out of its cage sometime on the weekend and the family believes it could be roaming through the Victoria-area suburb.

The family's pet ferret is also missing and Saanich Pound Inspector Derek Rees suspects the two disappearances are connected, and he doubts the ferret went willingly.

3. How long before Sisco opens a Twitter account?

:rofl:

But that poor ferret! Sisco, how could you? :cry:

4. Look for a boa constrictor that is the shape of a hat.

5. Was it a weasel or was it really a marten?

Man with dead weasel accused of assault Updated at 5:40 PM

HOQUIAM, Wash. — Police say a man was carrying a dead weasel when he burst into an apartment and assaulted a man in Washington state.

The victim asked, "Why are you carrying a weasel?" Police said the attacker answered, "It's not a weasel, it's a marten," then punched him in the nose and fled.

The attacker was apparently looking for his girlfriend and had gone to her former boyfriend's apartment Monday where the victim was a guest.

KXRO radio reports he left the carcass behind.
