My 8+yo ferret, Chipper, was helped along her journey on Thursday,
November 7th.  Thanks to all of you that sent encouraging words before
the end.  I know that she is in a wonderful place, and playing with
her best-bud, Gina.  I will post privately to those of you previously
inquiring about the large hard mass attached to her spleen when the
necropsy (autopsy) report comes in.
 
I will miss her forever.  She was my first ferret.  I did my best by her
with the best home, best vet in NC, FML, and best friends (Triangle
Ferret Lovers club - www.trifl.org) to watch over us.
 
It's so hard to say good-bye, even when you know it's time.  My heart
aches once again.  I don't know how shelter operators do it, but then it
is why I support them thru donations, fundraising, and moral support.
 
Sandee, please welcome Chipper.  She should be reunited with her only
pal, Gina, that left almost three years to the day.
