I lost my first ferret almost 5 years ago. I am still not over that,
nor the 5 others I have lost since then. Most of them adopted from a
shelter.
There is a part of me that wishes I had never gotten ferrets and never
had to go through the heartbreak, yet I would not have wanted to miss
a moment of the joy that they brought me.
I am struggling with this yet again in another new year. Their loss
consumes me day and night. I have had many companion animals in my
sixty some years: dogs, cats, rabbits, mice, a guinea pig, a gerbil,
birds, fish and my goat, yet none of them has affected me the way the
ferrets have.
I have always done what I believed was best and cost was never a
factor. I find ferrets to be a very frustrating animal when it comes
to their health care. Depending on where you live and your options as
to veterinarians, and 24 hour emergency care, well I don't think I have
to tell you...
I will never get over the loss of any one of them, some more than
others. It affects my daily life, especially sleep. I light candles
every day for them...
I have two ferrets left right now.........
