According to Charlie, traveling with Bandit was very easy. “Just like a dog, he had a lead, collar and walked for miles which is quite unique to ferrets. When he got cold, he’d jump inside my jacket, or if he was hot he’d splash in water!”
“Carrying him around hot countries was challenging, so we used to carry a cool bag with us everywhere for him to keep the heat out, especially in places like Pompeii… yes… we did walk Bandit through Pompeii! He would eat kibble, raw eggs and occasionally meat, but that was tricky to keep when we were on the road in the camper.”
Charlie had some helpful advice for people who are currently in a dark place. “You’re here. You’re alive. You’re breathing, even if sometimes it doesn’t feel like it. Because you’re still here, there’s still something to learn, there’s still someone to teach and there’s a reason to your suffering.”
“Maybe it’s that goal you have, family you want to support or even just a school education you want to achieve,” he said. “Whatever it is, these challenges you face are revealing the person you were placed here on Earth to become, and if you quit now, the light of your life’s work will quit too, refusing the world the teaching you came to give, and only you can give! You’re down, but you’re not out, because a winner never quits, and a quitter never wins!”
