Hi all, dis is SaraFerret. Today is a beautiful day at de Bridge. We
have been so busy here what wit ferrets crossing at breakneck speed. I
was trying to get some rest in while waiting for de latest ferret to
cross, as I had been told it might take an hour or so. But...dere she
comes. She seemed to hesitate a bit and den just trotted right on
across and just walked right on up to me and introduced herself to me
and says Hi I am Willow, furdaughter of Mommy Debi and I am a beautiful
sable siamese ferret and as you can see I have no tail. Can you fix it.
Mommy Debi says you can fix anything.

Well, first, I introduces myself to her, Hi I am SaraFerret, I am de
BridgeGreeter.

She looks at me and says, Hey I knows all dat. Just can you fix me all
up, so I can look great so I can look great and go back home and win
contests for Mommy Debi and make her proud.

Uh, Willow, I says, According to dis note, your mommy is so proud of
you, she could just cry. You are such a blessing to her. She wouldnt
have you any other way. You are more special to her as you are than if
you were blessed wit de bushiest tail in de world. It wasnt your fault
dat your tail fell off. As you can see not everyting is absolutely
perfect at de Bridge. All we can promise is no pain or suffering, great
food, great water, fun and games, running and playing, no nasty litter
pans, toys to play wit and dancing all day long. However once you gets
here you cants go back. Dis is your forever home.

Right den, her old friend Zini, arrived to greet and welcome her and
dere was a brief period of joy--it wasnt a total loss after all--here
was someone she knew. She wasnt alone here.

I talks wit Willow about wings--dat seems to cheer her ups--we have a
discussion about colors. She whispers wit Zini about colors. A long
discussion.. Who knew a girl ferret could debate so long about colors.
But de colors will be forever, so it is a big decision. Den we all tree
go off to de Wing House. On de counter was a big box marked "Willow".

Willow looks at me and asks, How did anyone know what color of wings
I would want since I just now chose dem. I just looked around and
den pointed up in de direction of de Boss and says He seems to know
everyting. She tiptoed over to de box and den opened it. She lifted dem
out and dere were crimson wings wit golden stripes thruout dem. WOWSIE!
I thought. Dose are fancy. The wing makers are getting real creative.
Willow got her wings on and den went over to de mirror and looked at
her reflection and fluffed her new wings and den turned around and den
she noticed sometin else: a tail--SHE HAS A TAIL--A REAL TAIL. She was
so happy for de first time dat she actually had someting dat all
ferrets had.

Can we show Mommy Debi she asks me.

Well, not now, perhaps in a few months.. At a later date, when you
can visit Mommy Debi in a dream or appear to her in a visit like
other ferrets sometimes do. Wont your Mommy be so surprised.

Den de three of us went down de path to a gathering of de clan to a
WELCOME WILLOW party and so ended another day at de bridge

Loveys and hugs SaraFerret

PS. Willow did stop by de misting pond and trew a whole bunces of
kisses down by a shooting star to you but it may take some time to
reach you
