I started work on a new book yesterday. It's in the early planning stages, but I hope to have it ready for the summer or fall. It's not a care book, it's a fun book. I think ferrets need more fun books. I'm going to ask my cousin Rosemary to illustrate it for me. I don't know if she's ever drawn a ferret, but she's a very talented artist, so I'm sure it's something she can do.

In the meantime, I keep thinking about how much I miss my little furry friends. Right now I have Milo the cat to keep me company, but I have to keep a respectable distance because I am a little allergic to cats. Milo isn't my cat; he's my cousin Amanda's cat. But he's one of the friendliest kitties I've ever met.

I have quite a few projects in the pipeline now, most are not ferret related. But I feel the pull. I always feel the pull.

Ferrets and the Holidays

A quick reminder that the holidays can be a dangerous time for ferrets. Check out this article on the Ferret News website for ways to keep your ferret safe:

Best wishes for a safe and happy holiday!

Check Out Ebay!

Oh, boy! I found a couple of neat things yesterday and I'm putting them all up on Ebay. So go check out my Ebay auctions. There's one of those cute little bean-bag stuffed ferrets we used to sell (I found two of them!) and one Ikea ferret (that'll be going up for auction later today). These make great ferret gifts for the holidays. So take a look at my Ebay auctions:

I've also still got Super Monster Packs (28 back issue of Modern Ferret) for sale for $52 (includes Priority Mail shipping) on ferrettradingpost.com, but you can look on Ebay and get one for less!

Happy bidding!
