I was thinking about coming up with a mascot for Operation EchoLand (if you don't know what that is and don't care, don't worry about it), and that got me thinking about ferrets. Cutest little shits you can imagine, but rip-roaring, war-dancing, impish little demons when they're pissed or feel mischievous. I don't have a ferret myself, and I'm not even sure whether that would be legal in California, but I do consider myself an admirer of ferret-kind. So here is a ferret pootie diary, and I introduce the mascot for Operation EchoLand at the end.
And introducing Fenton, the mascot for Operation EchoLand. He's technically a mongoose, but whatever - I'm calling him Fenton the Ferret for alliterative reasons. I'm sure he won't mind, wherever he is - assuming he hasn't been eaten by a coyote or something since that picture was taken (and assuming he is, in fact, a he).
