She Ran! But I think you're right. She was so suprised that she was free and she just went for the first open space away from the leash.
I was afraid I wouldnt be able to get her out. But the little boy just stuck his hand down there and pulled her right out. She chomped on him too, but he didn't seem to care. When I said thank you and I'm sorry she bit you, he said "Oh that's nothin, by ferret bites harder than that." !!
