The British Navy loves ferrets!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Ferret

"Fifteen ships and two shore establishments of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Ferret, after the domestic mammal, the Ferret"

And then there is this huge list!

This happy piece of news really cheered me up. I hope it cheers you too. We adore our ferret-loving friends from across the sea!
