John,
 
I am so sorry for you:'( I wish I had words to soothe the ache in your heart
and fill the emptiness that Buddy used to fill.  It is obvious you cared
much for him, and I know that he must have loved you very much.  You are a
good daddy.  You were able to hold him close as he prepared to cross the
Rainbow Bridge.  This is a precious gift you were able to give him.  Now, he
is your Guardian Angle Ferret.
 
TO A FUZZIE GONE
In memory of Racy, Buddy, and all other Fuzzies who have crossed the
Rainbow Bridge.
 
I thought you would live forever,
It was foolish of me, I know.
I just wasn't ready yet.
To have to let you go.
 
I wanted God to give to you,
One last chance to play.
I needed one more fuzzie kiss,
And one more sunny day.
 
Just one more trip out to the park,
And one more ferret game.
Just one more time to hold you near,
A softly sing your name.
 
When you were young and scared at night,
I knew just what to do.
I put a night-light by your bed,
And lay down next to you
 
I learned all I could and gave to you,
The best of ferret care.
I bought you toys and played with you,
I just always figured you'd be there.
 
But now you're gone, my little one.
The Rainbow Bridge to meet.
Oh how I miss your dooking sounds
And the dancing of your feet.
 
But before you leave, I ask of you,
Please bring close your angel light.
Stay with me until the dawn,
For this time it is I, who fear the night.
 
                  David Caudill
