Back in May I came across this soap made by the Goat Mountain Soap Company and couldn’t resist ordering it!

The order was mailed on May 24 but, as it happened, the Canadian postal service went on strike at or around the time my order was dispatched so it took a while to get down under.

I was beginning to fret about when I might get the bars of soap but then … lo and behold … today the mailman left the packet on my doorstep

I love researching stuff about ferrets  

I was wondering if coconut oil was good for ageing ferrets and, lo and behold, Google produced a link to the Goat Mountain Soap Company which has ….

ta dah ….

Fffferret Ffffffarts Ssssoap!!!!!

What a brilliant present for us to give our family and friends, don’t you think? Quirky, silly and useful! Hey, what more could you ask for as a present

Now to find out if they ship their products to Oz!

I got sent this video from a friend of my sister’s who knows how batty I am about ferrets.

I’ve seen it before but it still amazes me that they were able to train the ferrets and the fox to stay so quietly on the lady before given the go-ahead to scatter

I bet whoever trains those ferrets has managed to get them all to poop in their litter tray, not to dig in couches and all the other things which I have been a total failure getting my guys to do, or rather NOT do, over the many years of ferret ownership!

Hmmm, not sure I get the meaning of this ad but I thought it was cute nonetheless

I bought one bottle of Fursty Ferret beer last year ~ @ $6.99 a bottle I could only afford one LOL ~ and still have the bottle, just for the label. If you’re wondering why they named the beer “Fursty Ferret”, here’s the reason …

According to the blurb on the label, “when in decades past the idyllic country home of Miss Rose Gribble became a local inn, legend has it that the inquisitive local ferrets frequented the pub’s back door on a mission to sample its own reputed brew. In their honour it was named Fursty Ferret.”

Of course one should never give one’s ferret (or any other pet for that matter) alcohol to drink but it would appear these English ferrets certainly appreciated having a drop or two if what the blurb said is true. But, of course, it could just be a marketing ploy

Ferrets are banned in our fair state of Queensland. The “banana benders (our nickname for Queenslanders) in authority” deem ferrets to be dangerous if they get out into the bush.

Now I ask you, how can a ferret survive in a steamy, tropical environment like Queensland has … not to mention all the “wildlife” that’s out there, like…

*cane toads
*crocodiles
*a huge variety of highly poisonous snakes
*many poisonous spiders

So yeah, no ferrets allowed in Queensland.
