It was a lovely day at de Bridge. SaraFerret was outside playing with
her kits when she saw the familiar sight of Ozzy, the little boy
courier, flying up to her cottage. He made a U-turn and stopped by
her and handed her a note. He said,

"Miss SaraFerret, there is a ferret crossing the Bridge and her daddy
is requesting that you greet her. I stopped by their place already and
her family is getting things ready."

I read the note and asked him if he wanted to go with me and we both
flew off to the entrance. A small DEW fuzzy was waiting patiently for
us, so I quickly introduced myself,

"Hi I am SaraFerret and I am de bridgegreeter and dis is on of de
couriers, Ozzy. Welcome to de Rainbow Bridge. Dis is your new forever
home. Here you will have no more pain or suffering. You will run on
green grass forever and have lotsa friends. Did I mention de fun and
games?"

She looked at me and said, "I am a very old girl and my name is Gigi
and I belong to Daddy Scott. I am sure you must know him. He is such
a kind person. He got me from the land of illegals. The people there
loved me, but they had to let me go cause I wasn't allowed. Something
about us ferrets being illegals or something. But Daddy took me and
my family to his home. I am the last of the illegal tribe. Isn't that
silly? Why are we illegal anyway? Is there a sign on us saying that
there is something bad about us saying we are okay in one place but not
in another? But I guess it was my time to leave and travel on my new
journey. I sure didn't want to leave my friends though. I don't see any
of my friends here. Are they hiding somewhere? I am so old, how will I
be able to run and play?"

I replied, "Gigi, I don't understand the ways of the world. I never
ever will. All I know is this place is perfect. But if you look at
yourself you will see that you aren't your old self. You are back as
you once were."

She looked down at her belly and sure enough it was all soft and furry
as it once was and at her back, her tail was bushy. Then all of a
sudden she heard the music begin to play. And she saw them running to
her. Bisbee in the lead with the rest of crew behind and of course, the
dancing queen herself, ABBA. Bisbee hugged her and told her about the
wings she was gonna get. Then ABBA, she of the dances came with the
wings (where did she get into the Wing House)? and helped her put on
her wings and Bisbee adjusted her halo. (Hey wait a minute, don't I get
to do anything anymore)? Okay we went down the path to the Misting Pond
(this I can do). We sat down beside the cool clear water and with one
swish we saw the vision of Daddy Scott surrounded by his fuzzies
appear. Gigi got so excited she started waving and dooking with all
of her might.

"I love you Daddy. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for taking me
into your home. I am safe and with my crazy friends. I have beautiful
wings now. I am no longer old and I can run and play again."

Then she began to throw hugs and kisses and laid them on a nearby
shooting star which was headed to your house and by the time you
should read this it should have landed there. And with another
swish the vision was gone.

And so we left there and went down the road to the village. Of course
this wild crazy music was following us all the way. I do believe many
fuzzies from across the Bridge were forming a weasel war dance behind
us. I could see food laid out in the picnic area. Would there be enough
for all? Well of course, foolish SaraFerret! After all, this is the
Bridge, where no one ever, ever goes without. Gigi was truly amazed at
it all. Ozzy and me were invited to dance and snack. But, mercy, there
were oh so many, I thought I would get lost in the rush. So I gave Gigi
a hug and waved the dancers a goodbye.

Ozzy went to his village and I went back to the kits. So much for my
"wild" night at the Bridge.

Lovey and hugs,
SaraFerret, bridgegreeter
