28 december my last ferret Jopie died. I feel like i ve died with him.
I ve been taking so much care of him, he had insulinoma, stomach
problems, gablatterlproblems and so much more. Since almost a year he
was on prednisolone and things got worse and worse. I was his nurse,
his momma, his help and his hope. He was my one and only and i lived
only for HIM.

Jopie was my last ferret. Since he died the house is so cold and empty.
Still i wake up at the time to give medicine to Jopie but there is
noone there to take care of. I really feel as if Jopie and i died
together. I haven t been able to post this message sooner, Every time i
started typing, tears clouded my eyes and my breath was taken from me.
Now i know what true love is: Jopie was my true love.

this is the last i have from Jopie, on the morning of his death
I know he looks fine, but he had nervedamage and his intestens stopped
functioning some hours later. He rested his head on my hand when he
went to sleep. That s what he always did with his favourite toys: rest
his head on it. As if he told me: it s okay.

My sweet boy went to sleep the endless sleep and i do hope he is playin
with his brother Peerke again.

Grr, Joos
the Netherlands
