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!

I hope you (and your ferrets, of course!) all had a wonderful Christmas and I really do hope that this coming year will bring only happiness, peace, prosperity and good health to everyone.

I must say that reading the news makes me want to climb into bed and throw the covers over my head in despair but then one or all of the ferrets come up and and start doing their silly weasel wardance on the blanket and I just crack up.

That’s what I absolutely adore about having ferrets

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!

Some of you might remember that I made a dig box for my guys a few years ago which was a mega fail. I’d got a bag of aquarium gravel and filled one of our grandkids’ toy boxes with it. I honestly thought that the ferrets would love it, as they were always scratching around inside the furniture.

Well … they jumped into the box, they had a teensy scrabble around and that was that. No more interest at all I left the box there for a couple of days and finally admitted defeat.

No, it’s not a trick question I seriously wonder if they do!

My Mojo has totally broken the mould I had for albino ferrets. I always considered them to be wonderfully smoochy, loving little things, then along came Mojo!

I’ve never known a ferret to be such a Jekyll and Hyde She’ll cover my face with kisses some days and play with me like I’m her best buddy. Then, in a matter of moments, she’ll change. If I pick her up to get her to kiss me again, she’ll turn her face away and that’ll be that. No more kisses from the little madam.
