He was a marked ferret....2 blue dots on his right ear
 
He was an ordinary sable boy.....no special or unusual markings to make
him stand out
 
He was unloved by his first family, and returned to the petstore
 
He was labeled as a biter (he was not)....and offered for sale for half
off
 
He was mine immediately.....I could see he was mis-understood
 
He was treated as a chew toy for two weeks when he arrived here, at his
forever home
 
He was a strong muscular boy
 
He could hear a treat being extracted from it's container, whilst in a
dead sleep
 
He perfected the art of sitting and begging for a treat
 
He did not like the outdoors
 
He wasn't agressive...he did like to torment his deaf sister periodically
(but she made him pay)
 
He did not like being scolded
 
He was 100% in his use of litterpans....we never saw a miss in almost 5
years
 
He was never sick one single day of his life (until Saturday).....not
even a case of rat-tail
 
He spent his last 20 hours at Dads side, or in Dads arms.....he was not
alone
 
He left us at 2:30pm PST today....3 minutes before the Vet arrived to
give Mercy
 
He will be missed....a phrase that's totally inadequate for what I feel
