"AND ME TOO! AZU"
April 5, 2000 - October 9, 2003
 
This is so very hard for us to write because of the way our Brother "And
Me Too! Azu" left for the Rainbow Bridge.
 
"And Me Too! Azu" lost his battle with insulinoma and adrenal @ 4:15 P.M.
Thursday October 9, 2003, a very tragic ending to his young life.
 
It is so very sad the way he left for the Rainbow Bridge.  Just a few
days ago Azu was climbing up into is condo, on the second level, because
Daddy forgot to leave the bottom door open for him.
 
On Thursday, he wasn't himself.  Daddy was checking on Azu every couple
of hours.  Daddy was holding Azu in his arms then it all happen, he had a
couple of seizures (that Daddy would not wish upon anyone), Azu jerked
his head back twice, opened his mouth wide, foam came out of his mouth.
Azu's little heart stopped beating and then his head slowly dropped and
his mouth closed, he crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge.  So very sad, so
very young, so very heartbreaking.
 
Azu was a neutered male standard dark silver, shelter ferret, brought
into the shelter stitched up from the bottom of his stomach to the top of
his throat, at the age of one, from an unnecessary operation.
 
Azu's color theme was orange.  While at the shelter, Daddy was going to
bring home Eryus only and then this little fella came out of hiding and
started to pull on Daddy's pant leg saying and me too and me too.  Daddy
ended up bring them both home and his name became "And Me Too! Azu".
 
"And Me Too! Azu" was lightening fast, once when the door to our
apartment was opened he zipped out in the hallway, without us knowing,
someone called the manager and said a ferret was running around in the
hallway and before long the manager came by and asked us if we had a
missing ferret.  Daddy was thinking someone else had ferrets until he
opened the door and there was Azu having a good time in the hallway.
 
Azu was going bald, but had a patch of hair on top of his head, like Stan
Laurel (from the comic team of Laurel and Hardy).  Daddy started to call
him Stanley.
 
We are missing our youngest brother "And Me Too!Azu" but he is not
forgotten:
 
1 Very Sad Sister: Lady Xavier
2 Very Sad Brothers: Yazu and Zacaryeus
 
"And Me Too! Azu" meeting his Sisters and Brothers at the Rainbow
Bridge":

Eryus and Xeryus.
