To all of you that have had the pleasure of feeling the warmth of a
relationship with a wonderful and sweet Ferret (or any other pet):
 
About a week ago I promised to share a poem with you that I wrote for
BUSTER.  Now I am able to share it with you without falling apart.

                       TO BUSTER
 
                From all of those
                who loved you
                and all those
                who you brought
                a smile to.
 
        We loved your cuddles.
 
        We laughed when you hid our things.
 
        We were ready to bust when we could not find you.
 
        We appreciated the warmth, smiles and comfort you brought so
        many.
 
        We hope you were in no pain at the end.
 
        We hope that you know how appreciated you are.
 
        We hope that you know how hard we tried to make you well.
        Many, many of us were pulling for you.
 
        We hope that you are in a better place now than ever.
 
        Let us know if there is anything that we can do for you.
 
        We all miss you very much and will for a very long time.
 
 
 
                                     Buster (1987-January 20, 1995)
