Last night we got a tiny houseguest:
“Willow” was found wandering in the snow at the middle of night, two nights ago. And since I’m the only “temporary home” for ferrets for Dyrebeskyttelsen (The Norwegian Society for the Protection of Animals) here in Trondheim. She has to stay with us for the time being.
Not that I’m complaining, she is very cute and kind 
Update February 16th.
Nala which was her real name, was picked up by her owner tonight, they both seemed very happy to be reunited
I saw the latest batman movie last night, and considering all the hype around it, I find myself somewhat disappointed.
The plot is pretty uninteresting for the most part, but not that bad either, it’s like an average action movie.
There where a few things that annoyed me:
And finally.. “Dark knight”?
Batman is not Dark.. He is Emo.. There is a big difference.
Rorschach (Watchmen), V (V for Vendetta), Marv (Sin city), The punisher, Wolverine (X-men) are dark, and they get the job done.
Batman is a black teletubby who like superman is never going to solve the problem by killing his deadly enemy, but instead play a weird form of catch and release, which gets LOTS of people killed, but still batman is sooo guilty when the joker kills a few people demanding that he expose himself.
At least this movie was not as HORRIBLE as Batman Returns. Still.. Batman = Pussy
rating: 5 / 10
Me and Nemi made a short movie this weekend:
It looks better in high quality, but dont know if it’s possible to embed that from youtube
earlier this month we where at the Nidarosilder ferret exhibition here in Trondheim.
It was pretty fun, we bought some stuff like a new tunnel for the ferrets (they kinda wrecked the old one), and I had a stand for Dyrebeskyttelsen (local society for animal rights).
Buffy won second place in her category (her half sister won first), and we’re quite happy with that as there where many participants in her category. Buffy’s father won Best in Show
Pinky won third place in her category( score-wise it was a tie for second place with her almost identical sister )
Bah, I got a flu something and a fever so I’m home from work.. Nothing to do here except play around with sony vegas
Seeing that my homemade air conditioner was not powerful enough to cool down the living room (it only had 2000 of the 14’000 required BTU/H), I took the copper coil off the fan, and turned it into a water cooled bed for the ferrets
The bed holds a comfortable 16-18 degrees Celsius.
This is nice for the little weasels, seeing they can’t sweat to get cooler.
Holy crap, it’s like 30 degrees outside.. And we all know what that means?
Well at least I do.. It means the apartment will smell like wet weasels.
For those of you who have never experienced the smell of a soaking wet Mustelidae or other small carnivorous mammal, it smells GREAT! It’s like a party in your nose, and everyone is invited.
We bought this sandbox/mini pool from Toys’R'Us last year, and have been using it as a sandbox for the ferrets for a while, however the last months it’s been filled with blankets, tubes, toys and stuff.
We had a plastic pool before, however we we’re afraid to use it at our new place as it is not hard plastic like the new one..
Even at our old place using the pool was not for the faint of heart, seeing that at any second the pool could have a IMMINENT STRUCTURAL FAILURE which would result in about 100 liters of water exploring every square cm of our relatively small apartment. But now that we actually own the apartment and have hardwood floors, it’s better to stay on the safe side.
Even Buffy, who never even tried bathing before jumped right in and had a great time
Pinky was to the vet Tuesday and was neutered. So any chances she ever had of becoming a ferretmom just became infinitesimal. She is still a bit dozy from the operation and sleeps alot, but she should be back to her good old self in a couple of days.
Her tummy was shaved, and there are like 3 stitches
Hopefully her fur will somewhat grow back before the Nidarosildern Ferret show here in trondheim
I just got back from Austria, and on the way back I got to pick up the newest member of the family.
Einherjer is a 8 weeks old ferret kit, that we got from Infinitys Ferret breeder, we’ve only had her for two days, and she is getting along great with Pinky (Nemi is another story, but they seem to get betting along better now. Nemi is pretty much devoid of any kind of ferret-to-ferret social skills).
Einherjer is very kind, trusting and fun, and here are a couple of pictures. While Einherjer is the breeder’s name, we will call her Buffy (yes, as in Buffy the vampire slayer)
