I had a suggestion from a ferret owner that it'd be fun to have a ferret forum for the readers of my site.
After a lot of headaches trying to work out how to set a forum up, my sweet husband stepped in and fixed one up for me.
It seems to be working okay so I hope you will all join me there if you have any ferret-related things you'd like to talk about, or any questions you have.

Philip spoke to Farrell's carer and went to see him, then organised for Farrell to come to our house so that we could be vetted and also to see how he'd go with the ferrets. Read more...

What a horrible night last night. Bonnie, our 13-year old German Shepherd, came into our bedroom around 1.30am and I thought she wanted to go outside to poop, so woke Philip and he went and let her out.

He jumped on the computer to see what it might be and the thing that came up was bloat. It said it was a very dangerous condition - where the dog's stomach suddenly turns and twists for no apparent reason - and the dog has to been taken to the vet immediately. Read more...
