Sandee,
 
Smoky passed away two weeks ago, Nov 10 at 959 pm with our help at the
vet.  He was in my arms.  Even to the end he was Mommy's buddy and
wouldn't let Daddy hold him.  He did very well in life and only had
insulinoma at the end, 61/2 yrs old.  He wasn't much for being held,
loved to play under stuff.  His favorite game was Russian roulette: him
under something, human hand on top trying not to get bit.  Oh, I miss
his bites, usually got one a month.  He very much cared for his brothers:
Loki, Vanilla, Sam, Gus, Smudge, and Gus at the bridge, and Poki who is
still here.  He was Mommy's buddy, and always made sure I was here and
feeling okay.  We used to look in each others eyes and understand
everything.  He was such a special boy in his own way.  And loved his
kongs, jeans to chew on, and his ferretone!  Please, let him know that
I'll be okay, and will make sure Poki gets special attention, he is by
himself now.  The to baby kits are getting too much for him.  Oh, Buddy
Boy, your Mommy loves you.
 
Amy and the fuzzies, here and at the bridge
