I am still reeling in shock at how quickly his illness progressed and how it took only 3 full days from getting a red flag alert to burying him

As some of you might now, Angus had adrenal gland disease (AGD) and had a Suprelorin implant inserted into him a year ago. He was doing great after his hair grew back and seemed his usual self – rearranging the Ugg boots and my Ugg slippers, doing his weasel wardance on the bed with his usual bouncy enthusiasm, dragging the bathmat into the sitting room and washing my face with ferret kisses every morning. He was really was such a funny little character!

Here’s wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and I hope that 2012 will be a very happy and healthy year for you and all your ferrets.

As always, I would just remind you to please be careful during the Yuletide celebrations and watch out for your ferrets so that they don’t get into trouble

We all know how mischievous our ferrets can be and their lack of fear can sometimes lead to dangerous situations, so keep your babies safe and that’ll save your hair from going grey – LOL!

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

We had two of the grandkids over last weekend so brought out the IKEA kitchen, together with the supermarket store and other toys we had. As we are having another kidlet over this weekend, we left the kitchen in the sitting room.

When we let the ferrets out last Sunday, they were fascinated with the kitchen and were all sniffing around. In fact, one of the bottom doors was opened and Angus went inside to investigate and Kimiko managed to shut the door on him. It was so funny to see him peering out through that glass door and, of course, the video or the still cameras weren’t close by to catch the event!

This makes me FURIOUS! Utterly and absolutely FURIOUS!

I was looking at my ferret FB page when I saw a post from an English ferret owner saying …

“This was one of three kits that Cathy Wareing has rescued from a shop called Brunos in Billing Northampton. They were charging £39.95 each. Clearly two of these kits are too young to be away from their mother. The third kit is slightly older. They were in a small cage with no bedding, just a cardboard tube and kibble that was too big from them to eat.”
