The Kid Sister has risen at last.

Finally I've got a chance to write my blog...
A few weeks ago my friend and I had the pleasure of spending a week at the Viking Longship Zoo. It was great to see Mr. Viking Longship and Mrs. Longship again even though a certain stag week end and work problems meant Mr. Longships time with us was limited...
We had great fun cleaning out the pigs, taking The Big Tom for a walk and of course plenty of time spent shopping in the various towns and Oslo of course. One night however ended up being a bit of a extreme night out...
Mrs. Longship was on call that weekend but we decided it was time to check out the nearby night life and so it was planned we'd head out in tonsberg and should Mrs. Longship be called out then we'd be deserted until she could find us again. However this was not to be the case. A quick visit to the surgery was called for before our plans could get underway. This was all well and good until a phone call came about a very sick ferret. The ferret was brought into the surgery and since Mrs. Longship couldn't find the source of his problem she decided it was time to forgo our night out and operate. My friend was delighted to play nurse but unlike my big bro I decided it wasnt the thing for me so i sat out on that exercise. It was about 11p.m. by the time the poor wee might was all back together again and since we didnt fancy a night in the surgery and it wasn't fair for his owners to take him home in such a state we brought him home instead. Curious looks from Peggy and the cats were called for as we set up a cage for him in the master bedroom... Thankfully the ferret lived through the night and next morning we went back to the surgery to his owners. All of whome were delighted to see him looking perky again...
