Some pet parents choose a name that’s designed to make them smile. Mustelid mom Kimberly J. and her family decided to pay homage to some of their favorite comedians when they got a pair of funny ferrets who love to dook (which, for the uninitiated, is a sound that ferrets make when they’re having fun).
“My family enjoys several Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly movies, and it was a pun we couldn’t pass on,” Kimberly says. “We now have Will Ferret and Dook C. Reilly, who keep us laughing even when not watching comedies.”
Like his namesake, Will Ferret loves to make noise and put on a show. “He’s a super dooker. Some ferrets don’t make too much noise, but Will Ferret can dook all day,” says Kimberly. At the end of the day, he’s also a great cuddler. “Will is the sweetest ferret. He’s so soft and cuddly and gentle—he doesn’t bite his humans, but loves to chew on watch bands.”
When it came time to look into protecting their ferret friends, Kimberly chose Nationwide pet insurance. “When getting pets, it’s important to think about the long-term financial decisions that are associated with owning them,” she explains. “I want to make sure that both my wallet and my pets are protected in the future.”
