Today,I have lost my best friend.I was lucky enough to share almost 6 years
with her.Jasmine was a special lady,whose big heart and warrior spirit
always amazed me.From the second our eyes were drawn to each other,I knew
we would be together.  Apparently,so did she,for she climbed up my arm and
settled herself on my shoulder.She spent many hours on my shoulder,as I did
chores around the house,not easy with a fert supervising.
 
She loved socks and was a thief extraordinaire, but more than the socks,she
loved the chase to get them back,99 % of the time getting them to safety in
the hidey hole I couldn't reach and then coming out looking smug.She had
her babies (troll dolls), and her pacifier collection she garnered from my
grandson.She arranged these every day,counted and guarded them from all
sneak attacks.She had a fondness for nutrical,ferretone and an occasional
Craisin.She cleaned everyone's ears,they were all dirty,you see.She was
alpha ferret and made sure the others knew that,nobody ever argued the
point.  She taught many children the value of love and kindness.She taught
me so many things,and I will miss her yawns in the morning,her nose touches
on my ankle,her shoulder sitting and her gentle nose kisses.She enjoyed
rearranging the dirt and grass snorkeling.
 
We've shared many an adventure,some sadness and a lot of laughter.She's
been through many trials,but ever the warrior, came through it all.I guess
I thought she always would.I know Valentine will meet you and introduce you
to Chelsea.You'll like her.
 
Today my heart aches,for my friend has moved on,and I have lost a special
part of my life.Shine down little star,your's is one of the brightest.
You'll be in my heart.
 
Sandy and three sad Fuzzies
 
In the spring, the full moon shines for the warrior who has lost her way.
