Sandee, I hope you can help Frodo find his other friends, Phantom and Caesar (even if he liked to beat her up, she just arrived at the Bridge two months ago). The rest of his family, Nipper, EZ, Lightning, & Cleo, that he never got to meet should be there to greet him as well. He brought them each a Honneycomb to share, they all loved those. Frodo went in for adrenal surgery this morning but when they opened him up they found his right adrenal was huge, and since he'd had his left adrenal out a year and a half ago which turned out to be malignant, the vet felt this was also malignant. Plus it appeared to have invaded his lymph nodes and possibly his liver. His spleen was also huge and his breathing was labored. I was asked if they should close him up and let him come home to live out the rest of his life and I just couldn't do that to him. He was asleep for the surgery and I felt he would have no quality of life left, if he would even live that long, so I gave him the dignity of leaving like the true gentleman ferret he was. Tell him we miss him so much and Bilbo, his cagemate, will be especially lonely without him. I'm sorry I wasn't with him when he was helped to the Bridge, but we did bring him home so he could rest with our other babies until we can all be together again. Sandee, tell Frodo and all the rest of my fuzzies I love them all and miss them so much. Thank you so much Sandee. mjo & the zoo, Lady Star, Topanga, Ragine, Bilbo, Frito, Pepper, Sassy, Frosty, Sabrina, Tasha and the dogs Garth & Darwin (R.I.P.
