Meet Whitey Bulger and Elon Musk, this week's PJC Pets of the Week!

Elon and Whitey are friendly ferrets. Elon likes to play and is very rambunctious. He likes to instigate action. He always seems to be in a good mood. He 's always attacking my feet when I'm sleeping and likes to steal my shoes. Baths are the end of the world for him. He likes to act tough, but he's a big baby. Whitey is more laid back. He's very lazy and really doesn't like to play. He sleeps anywhere, anytime, all the time. Elon likes to mess with Whitey when he's sleeping. This usually results in Whitey chasing Elon all over the house. They didn't get along at first, but now they are best buddies. Submitted by Jared Keenan.
