The Ferret Chronicles

First released in 2002,[7] this story mostly follows the adventures of Bethany Ferret, captain of a Ferret Rescue Service boat. It is a mix of adventure on the high seas and a reflection of how someone with humble beginnings can achieve her dreams. It establishes that although other types of animals also sail in ships, ferrets are the ones that do most of the rescue work for non-human species. The Ferret Rescue Service is said to operate alongside and in cooperation with human organizations like the Coast Guard.

Ever since she was a tiny kit, Captain Bethany Ferret has always wanted to be in charge of her own rescue boat. Through a mix of determination, luck, hard work, and true friendship she works her way up through the ranks of the Ferret Rescue Service and becomes captain of her own rescue boat Resolute. Gaining a reputation for her skill and bravery, she gets an unusual assignment: take star reporter Chloe Ferret on board as one of her crew. Although initially concerned about having to bring on someone so inexperienced into such potentially dangerous situations, she does so with some trepidation, and the two eventually grow respect one another and become friends.

First released in 2002,[8] this story follows the adventures of Stormy Ferret and Captain Strobe Ferret, two made-for-each-other pilots who manage to keep not meeting one another until friendly supernatural forces get involved. It combines realistic descriptions of flying with new romance and aeronautical angels. It establishes side-by-side ferret and human facilities in airports (although both ferrets and humans share the same aircraft arrival and departure queues), and angel ferret fairies play a large role.

Captain Janine "Stormy" Ferret flies airplanes with an almost unequaled passion, but if there is any other ferret in the world who can equal her passion, it is Captain Strobe Ferret. Stormy is the cargo pilot and captain of the AirFerrets SkyFreighter. Strobe is the Chief Pilot for the giant conglomerate MusTelCo. Both hang out in the same areas, know many of the same ferrets, and even do some of the same sorts of volunteer work, but have never actually met one another. Angel ferret fairies get involved to try and shift fate (and the weather) to ensure the two meet, but they are not prepared for just how strong headed and stubborn the two can be.

First released in 2002,[9] this story explores the marriage between two authors: Budgeron Ferret and Danielle Ferret, at a time when their respective careers are placing a strain on it. It looks at the impact of jealousy on a marriage and considers how to work around it.

Budgeron Ferret is a famous author of inspirational books for kits, but he wants to be taken more seriously. He has spent years working on a novel that he hopes will get others to recognize him as being more than just a kits' writer, but it is a struggle. Somewhat on a lark, his wife Danielle Ferret decides to try her hand at writing, and effortlessly creates a scandalous romance about the naughty Veronique Sibhoan Ferret. Initially her story gets rejected as no publisher wants to gamble on such an un-ferretlike tale, and Budgeron, knowing the pains of rejection, provides her with support and encouragement. Once she does find a publisher her novel quickly becomes more successful than anything Budgeron has ever written, and it becomes difficult for him to process his feelings.

First released in 2003,[10] this story follows the linked but separated lives of star actress Cheyenne Jasmine Ferret and successful rancher Montgomery Ferret, each of whom is locked in their own world in spite of their love for each other. It establishes that ferrets raise a special breed of miniature sheep, and a philosopher ferret plays a role.

Montgomery Ferret and Cheyenne Ferret grew up together on the range. Montgomery loved everything about his environment, and excelled at being a rancher, steadily building up more and more success. Cheyenne wanted the lights of the city, moved away and studied acting, and remade herself as Jasmine Ferret, international star of the screen. Each has achieved their dreams, but in first separation and later a chance encounter they realize how much they truly love one another.

First released in 2003,[11] this story looks at Detective Shamrock Ferret and how she uses her gift of psychometry to investigate the origins of ferret society that have since been lost to history, especially the ubiquitous philosophy that serves to guide all ferrets.[12]

Shamrock Ferret had been sensitive to the hidden natures of things even as a kit, and with her father's support develops it into a full psychic recall ability. She uses this to become a one-of-a-kind detective, and in that role gets embroiled in solving the mystery of ferret civilization. Who or what made ferrets the way they are now? Why are the Courtesies so ubiquitous? What were past ferrets like? She gets more than she could ever expect and witnesses the near-end of civilization during her quest.
