It seems like there is not an FML that goes by without someone sharing
their loss.  After loosing 6 ferrets of my own I had to ask why?  Why
does this keep happening?  It's not fair.  This was what I came up with.
 
The only way I could come to terms and give myself a little bit of
comfort was in thinking that they have such short lives is so that we can
adopt/rescue other ferrets that need love & spoiling.  Of course it took
me a long time to come to that analogy.  But, I truly believe after
seeing one of the ferrets that I may have just adopted turn into a loving
and spoiled pet that there is purpose behind their losses.  Oprah, Rosie,
Schnapps, Ben & Jerry are all living proof of that!
 
I have to say that ferret owners are special people, (shelter workers &
owners-outstanding, incredible, beyond words).  I am starting to ramble,
but what I am saying is I have never seen a more compassionate and
outstanding group of people.  So after you read this make sure you are
smiling because you have made a difference in a ferret(s) life.
 
God bless you all
