It was a late summer evening and SaraFerret was busy pawing through the
Boss's Big Book of Ferrets. She had just received a note to check on a
fuzzie who had crossed the bridge a year ago. Wow, lotsa ferts crossed
de bridge since den, she thought to herself. Then she found the name
and location. Throught the pathways and byways of the bridge she went,
first one way and then that way, until she was finally there. On the
door was a note. "Gone to the mudslide. Be back later!"

Oh great, exclaimed SaraFerret, I will just have to trot over dere. So
off she went: this sparsely furred, bushy tailed little fuzzy to find
the requested ferret. There it was, the Otter MudSlide. Even a couple
of blackfootie ferrets were playing, along with three very muddy
regular ferrets. Up and down the mudslide they all played, each taking
turns and becoming ever more covered in mud. What fun! She was tempted
to join, but realized that she must carry out her appointed task. Hey
fuzzies, which one of you is Girlie? The muddiest one of the bunch
dooked up and said, That's me, and Hi, SaraFerret. Its been awhile
since I saw you. The last time I saw you was when you greeted me at the
bridge and all that and you gave me my wings. (Wings of all de muddy
ferrets are laying by the side of the mudslide). Well, Girlie, your
Mommy, Sonya has sent a note and wants to know how you are doing.

Then Girlie called to her business and esp. her brothers, Toby and
Renny, we better go wash up right now so we can visit with SaraFerret
about Mommy. So off all of us went to the big pond. A quick rinse and
all were clean and a quick toss and all were mostly dry. And then we
talked.

Lets see, SaraFerret started off, Your Mommy was worried that maybe
you felts lotsa pain when you were at de dr. office when she had to
take you dere to help you cross de bridge.

Girlie replied, No way, I felt her hand on me and it felt good. Besides
once I smelled that funny gassy stuff, I didnt really feel anything
until I was here. I didnt even feel any stick or anything. So Mommy
doesnt have to worry about that.

Are you and Renny and Toby getting along okay? SaraFerret asked. Oh
sure, she replied. We have the bestest time. We go to the mudslides
and surf at the ponds and go to the fruit and kibble bar.

SaraFerret and Girlie and her business visited and then they decided to
make a side trip to the famous misting pond just to have a glimpse of
Mommy Sonya. Once dere, SaraFerret swished de water of de pond, Girlie
once again saw her Mommy appear (this so close to the anniversary of
her crossing), Toby and Renny looked on. Then each little fuzzie threw
kisses and hugs and wrapped them with love and put them on a nearby
shooting star which might take sometime to get to her. They knew that
one day all would be reunited forever and run and play together at the
bridge. Then with another swish, the vision was gone.

SaraFerret and the others decided it was about time to make a mad dash
for the fruit and kibble bar. Tag, you're it. And on and on it went,
running and dancing all the way.

So ended another day at the Bridge.

Loveys and hugs
SaraFerret, bridgegreeter
