I speak with Laura from Manchester about her 84, yes that's right, 84 ferrets, including sables, angoras and micro ferrets. She has a ferretry and breeds ferrets, under the name The Guild of Calamitous Intent Ferretry. We talk about how she got into it and why, what ferrets 'do' for her, breeders and how to be a good breeder, different kinds of ferrets, and what it's like to have so many!

I speak with Kevin Ringstaff from https://petcloud.pet/ about how to deal with the grief of losing a pet. So many of my friends have been dealing with this lately, and I thought talking with someone about it would help. Kevin chooses to spend his days talking about grief and pets and educating people on how to support themselves and others through the sad times that are inevitable. He is so kind and good to talk to, and actually runs support programs for people- for free! He also has a membership program that looks very valuable. 

 

"Through my studies and counseling over the years, I’ve learned quite a lot about grief. It’s safe to say that as a society, we all have a tendency to hold on to grief. It’s awkward and uncomfortable to talk about. We feel like we might be judged especially if we tell other people how much we are hurting because of our losses."https://compassionfatigueandburnout.org/ He also runs workshops for professionals who deal with death on a regular basis, for example veterinarians, frontline workers, mortuary workers, crematory workers (humans and animals). I'm thrilled to offer this episode to you, and tell you about these services.

I speak with Naomi, one of my online friends, about her finding her ferret, and the health problems of her second ferret. A very eventful few months for her! I'm launching my membership program. 

Different levels include: Supporting the podcast, bonus episodes, advertising opportunities, obituaries for passed pets, a secret facebook group that the guests are members of, group ferret education fun classes, 1:1  ferret education, coaching and accountability for beginners, let's get you confident!

A chat with Kilian from Germany about pets and their emotions- there's a book that claims all mammals have the same basic emotions that humans have. Do you agree? Is it obvious? 

We just have a chat and I bring up ferrets and rats quite often.

 

Kilian will be making a podcast later called Random Kili and it will be an interview show.

Wow, this episode has some really interesting gems. I speak with Billie Dean of A Place of Peace Sanctuary here in Australia. She has the rare opportunity of being able to witness the societies that animals create when they're not 'farmed' or kept to human rules. We talk geese, brumbies (Australian wild horses), sheep, wild cats, and cows, as well as the 2020 bushfires and her experiences with that terrifying ordeal and the native animals affected by it. Billie shares her views on how animals and nature should be cared for- it might not be for everyone, but it's interesting and it's something to think about. I also have a horrible coughing fit so I'm muted for most of it... whoops. Please excuse me. You know those times when you can't stop coughing but you just have to continue? That was me.Stick around to the end to find out how you can help the sanctuary, or go directly to the links below. If you  have any ideas how Billie can raise more money without having people traipse through the farm and disturb the animals, please, let her know!Deep Peace Trust- donate here to this worthy causeA Place of Peace Sanctuary website- articles, photos, buy Billies books and join her courses/classes and more!

Cindy is an Animal Communicator and has 17 alpacas on her farm. She's never done drugs but she's 'done dogs'. Her journey to being an Animal Communicator is a bit unusual but now she uses her skills to improve the lives of pets and their people all over the world through zoom and real life workshops.
