Joey's favorite toy was a tiny McDonald stuffed camel, I would look around the house for Joe when it was time for them to go to bed, and I would find him curled up on the bathroom mat with his camel...I now have the camel on my mantel.. I can't stop crying about Joey, I just lost Phoebe and this is more than I can bear. His Illness came on so suddenly, it's not fair..I am angry and sad. He was only 2, he was a big, healthy ferret, with a big beautiful mask and very large dark eyes that won me over every time. Joe had the best litter box hit rate, he stood up on command for treatsand these past several months he would come out of his cage inthe morning and automatically stand up while I was at the computer and wait for treats. He LOVED to go out side, walks were his favorite thing to do. I got Joey a little over a year ago, under the premise of a gift for Louis, (it was just ferret math with a title) ;) Last August or September at the Washington Ferret games thinly..Joe won first place in one of the races we had, I am so proud of my little boy and I miss him terribly. When we first got Joe he was a bad to the bone biter in less than a month he was mommies sweet boy.. And to make matters worse, the same day Joey became ill, I noticed a remarkable amount of hair loss on chandlers tail, I am desperately wanting to see blackheads..I think I see a few..
