The room was filled with constant giggles as one of Emi’s newest little critters burrowed under her sheets. “Yang!” she exclaimed. “Where are you?” The white ferret peeked out from under the sheet for a split second before burrowing underneath again. She was a fast little critter. Emi did read somewhere that ferrets were burrowing creatures. In the wild, they made tunnels underground. But this was so cute. Every time Emi tried to catch Yang, she disappeared under the sheets again.
Yin was fast asleep in his cage. It seemed like Elia liked him the best for some reason. Maybe because his name was easier for her to say. She said Yang’s name like “Ya” but she said Yin’s name pretty much perfectly. Yang peeked out from underneath the sheets again and poked Emi’s leg. Emi giggled and lifted the baby ferret into her lap. She had been told that they grew quickly and would be much larger than this. Which probably would make her easier to spot when she was running around the house anyway. “Come on, Yang,” said Emi. She got off the bed and walked into the living room where the cage was set up. She’d left it there so that everyone could enjoy her pets. Elia and Angelo liked the ferrets too. Even her mum and dad really liked them. She was so happy that she finally had a pet of her own again, even when they were becoming like the family pet. She put Yang back into her cage and watched as the ferret climbed the cage steps up to the hammock where her brother was sleeping. “Have a good nap,” she said, smiling widely. She closed the cage and left the ferrets to take their nap.
