I had a busy day today.  Good thing too because I was getting in too much
trouble with the kits and Da Boss was not too happy with the bad tricks I
was teaching them.  Sheesh, ferrets are supposed to do things like tag
and nip the wolverines and ride the kitties.  Anyway, I went and
collected a few pals: Moxy, Baby, Mitzy, Sandy, Beaseley, Bear, Toby,
Murphy, Daisy, Heidi, Casey, Smokey and Bandit.  And we all trotted down
to the Rainbow Bridge to await a new little soul.
 
We didn't see a white glow at the end of the bridge like normal ... we
saw an orange glow.  And out of it came a little fella dragging an orange
fleece across the bridge.  He looked a little dumbfounded seeing all the
ferrets and a stranger with them.  "Hi, my name's Sandee and I'm here to
greet you and guide you over Rainbow Bridge." His eyes were so bright.  I
wanna twinkle in my eyes like that!  And he was so sleek.  His mates were
so happy over his transformation, they ran over to greet him with dooks
and power sniffs.  It made him giggle.  He said he was more than ready to
go, and that he hopes that his mom understands this.  He said he tried to
hang on the best he could to say good bye to his mom.  But he said he
remembers her crying.  We all told him that time would heal her and she
would stop crying ... not to worry.
 
"You sure don't seem to be shocked to be here," I said.  "Well, it was
like on the way up, I could hear my mommies thoughts and words.  And
in the wind I could hear her talk about this place.  I was pretty
prepared.  Plus I was so tired, I just wanted to rest.  It was so nice
to just rest.  But now ... I don't want to rest," He shouted.  And he
pounced his buddies and they rolled all around the clouds.
 
I told him I had a good surprise for him.  Since his mommy said that he
loved potted plants, I knew just the right place to go ... the meadow.
All the plants in the world to dig up.  So all of us trotted down
through the lilacs and daisies to the meadow.  I told him about all the
surrounding gardens to investigate and ... that's when he took off!  He
dove down and snorkeled through the grass and the others followed.  I
haven't seen him since!
 
So there you have it ... Buddy with his buddies together forever and
waiting on mom.
