Fizzgig's Fuzzy Frenzy

Fizzgig was a slinky with a sense of humor. A sable ferret with a masked face and endless curiosity, his awake time was a whirlwind of investigation, theft (socks were a specialty), and the joyful chattering called 'dooking.' He'd perform the 'weasel war dance'—a series of frenzied sideways hops and bucks—when excited. The house feels too orderly now, missing the pitter-patter of his feet on hardwood, the rustling from under the couch where he'd hoard his 'treasures,' and the soft weight of him sleeping deeply in a hammock, utterly spent from his exploits.
