Hi, I was wondering if one of the special fuzzies at the Bridge could
check on my Bubba for me.  He passed on June 6 of last year and so of
course he has been on my mind even more than usual the past few days.
He will be the cream colored boy smooth talking all the ladies.  Bubba
is the first fuzz baby I have had go to the Bridge and there isn't a
day that goes by I do not think of him.

Bubba only owned me for 6 months but in that very short time he moved in
and took over my heart.  He had the most personality I have ever seen in
a ferret.  He loved his outdoor adventures, running through the grass
and smelling all the new scents.  He also thought the bathroom sink was
his personal wate r fountain.  In the bathroom he would dance at your
feet until you put him up on the sink and run the water.  If daddy or I
took to long he would stand up and wrap his arms around our calf and give
a quick, gentle " hey I'm thirsty down here!  " nip.  He would even come
and get us and takes us in there when he wanted to wet his whistle.

He also loved his Keyna-Bug.  She was his girlfriend and boy did he love
her.  They were always in the same hammy, curled up in the same sleep
spot, and would take turns dragging each other across the floor.  He also
loved his brother Hoss D.  He was always taking up for him when anyone
tried to pick on him.  He would even scold his best girl when it came to
Hoss.

Well one day my very energetic boy wasn't energetic anymore so off to the
vet we went and surgery was in order.  He made it through the surgery but
not the night.  He was at the hospital when he passed and I have always
regretted not being able to say good bye.  I loved him so much.  So will
one of the Bridge fuzzies check on him and tell him how much he is missed
by his daddy and mommy and Keyna and Hoss.  Also let him know that Kain
is not a replacement by any means but I had so much love to give that I
had to share it with this special boy also.  Also thank him for telling
the Maker that it wasn't time for Hoss to go a few weeks ago when he got
real sick and I know he misses him but I still need him with me.

I hope he is running in the green pastures like I know he loved so much
and I hope he has his own special fountain and a pretty lady to curl up
with until Keyna and Hoss join him.

I miss you so much Bubba....
