From what I learned as a kid from my parents who were born and raised in the wilderness … these things are dangerous.
It’s basically a furry snake with feet and teeth … and it’s smart, fast and can squeeze into anything. I had to deal with a couple over the years and they are very intelligent to the point where you think they are trying to outsmart you, entice you or lure you.
There is one species of weasel in Colorado: Ermine (or short-tailed Weasel). I’ve seen one just once in the mountains, on the other side of a small-ish pond. It was definitely cute from a distance, but we never got close. I’m now glad we were at a distance (assuming they behave similarly to their northern neighbors)
This could totally be a Moopsie:
