Dear Laurie,
So saddened to read of Nosey's departure to the heavens above.  I lost one
of my ferrets, Pup, over two years ago and still think of him daily.  It
took me the two years to finally get another ferret - just happens to look
exactly like Pup.  In a sense, Pup's spirit lives on, just an Nosey's will,
in the lives of many other ferrets.  One of the things I did was to take
Pup's body to the Pet Cemetary and have him cremated.  He is in a little box
on my dresser and one day our ashes will be spread together over the
mountainous range.
 
My sincere sympathy for you and your little girl
fondly,
diana
