Hi, Joy Lenay here ... I am very sorry to hear about Ami passing away ...
as I am sure everyone is that knew him.  My husband was stunned that Ami
was only three because he was the most laid back ferret that we have ever
seen, perfectly content just to be held.  Amadeus may have never won a
trophy, but there is no reason to be sad because I'm sure everyone who
met him saw just how wonderful and handsome he was ... it only took
seconds to see that.
 
I'm sure that most of you don't know Pat (Ami's Mom), but I want to tell
you that Pat was as lucky to have Ami as Ami was to have Pat.  Pat is a
devoted ferret mom (and doggy mom) and all of her ferrets are very lucky.
