While doing my usual deviant art search for cute ferret pics to favorite I stumbled across something. The Ferret Chronicles by Richard Bach. The best summary of them I could find was on Amazon and taken from Publishers Weekly.
http://www.amazon.com/Curious-Lives-Adventures-Ferret-Chronicles/dp/1571744576
Beginning in 2002 with Rescue Ferrets at Sea, Bach (Jonathan Livingston Seagull) served up a series of feathery adventure fables about a fantastical world populated by virtuous ferrets. Originally published by Scribner, the five books have been smartly condensed, repackaged, retitled and reshuffled into this stand-alone digest. The opening selection, "Shamrock," is a terrific introduction to the Ferret Chronicles, a story about a brave, inquisitive female detective named Shamrock Ferret, who uses her gift of psychometry (psychic recall) to unravel the mysterious celestial origins of the ferret population. "Budgeron and Danielle" (from Ferret Chronicle #3, Writer Ferrets Chasing the Muse) deftly commingles themes of love and humility and insider revelations about the publishing business in a soft-hearted love story featuring a golden-furred, sharply dressed, frustrated novelist and his supportive wife, a "pawdicurist." The remaining fables tackle issues of salvation amid treacherous open seawaters ("Bethany"), Montana ranching and star-crossed romance ("Cheyenne and Monty") and high-flying ferret pilots ("Stormy and Strobe"). Bach's ferrets live by a rigid code of "Courtesies" ("I claim for others the freedom to live as they wish, to think and believe as they will. I claim that freedom for myself"), and their enchanting, moralistic adventures, distilled here to their essence, pack a big punch.
I don't know about you, but I'm really interested in getting this book ^^<3

Chie Woot! Is that when the Best Buys are all going to be carrying them? I went and checked at one of my local ones just to see and they didn't have them. crying Well, Panagrammic said that the "coding" should be in the system by tomorrow which means Pongo and the zOMG box will be popping up and becoming available since people will be able to actually get them redeemed now. Now if that means that all Best Buys will be carrying the cards, I dunno that answer :'3
