Hi All,
With heavy heart & many tears, I write this - My Andre the air ferret is
gone.  I only had Andre since September of last year but its seems like he
had been around much much longer.  He was my buddy.  I was very close to him
- we had a special bond.  Andre was never healthy - for a long time he had
to be force fed & then would only eat duck soup after he could eat on his
own but he had a mission.  He had a to do list that had to be completed.
On his list he had to gain weight & look like a ferret again.  He had to
war-dance.  He had to run through the tube.  He had to play with the other
ferrets.  He had to eat hard food - no duck soup.  He had to become the
alpha-ferret & rule our little ferret kingdom.  In the last month & a half,
Andre had completed everything on his to do list.  He was happy.  Yesterday
he checked off everything on his list & my little air ferret flew to the
Rainbow Bridge.  Farewell Andre!
