Good news - the owner of these two pups has been found.

According to the Washington State Patrol, the owner contacted the humane society to claim the dogs.

Both are said to be in good health and excited to go home.

The dogs were found Thursday by the Washington State Dept. of Transportation's incident response team on I-5 near Bridgeport Way.

It's not every public comment session of the Tacoma City Council that requires the City Clerk to pull out a step stool - but special guests require special measures.

Guests of Tuesday evening's regular meeting of the city council knew something was afoot when Deputy Mayor Joe Lonergan read a motion to suspend the rules to allow for comments on topics outside of the meeting's agenda.

"A young lady is in the audience who wasn’t aware of our restrictions of when comments could be made," said Councilman Jake Fey. "I think the comments could be really helpful to hear and I think the young lady has something to say."

The council voted to suspend the rules, and an 8-year-old in a sparkly shirt and pink hoodie made her way to the podium. She introduced herself as Serena Zhang, a third-grader at Browns Point Elementary. Zhang's JAWS teacher Kathleen Casper says her students are working on a project that involves them becoming "community experts" by researching a local issue of concern, writing letters to lawmakers and speaking at events like council meetings.

We don't know the answer because this isn't a joke - that's a real ferret frolicking in the snowpocalypse.

We think you'll agree that this ferret romp deserved a post of its very own.

Kimberly A. Kinsey says "Baliz 2 yrs old but his first snow. Trying to find a place to hide. In Tacoma 7 inches of snow!" 

And later, "Forgot to tell you, he's a ferret!"

Happy snow day, Tacoma!
