Well, Kari died this week. It was not much of a surprise as her lymphoma was terminal, but it is the latest in a string of losses which really hits hard (both for me and my human kids). Last summer we had 6 ferrets and now we have two. If Amy Flemming is out there, this was Kari we adopted from you. Kari was a sweet little badger ferret who was deaf (or really good at ignoring things). We think she was 4 or 5. Now all our little girls have left us, leaving Zorro and Mister to huddle together in a small ferret heap. Sugar, Misty, Duncan, and Curly met her at the bridge. For so long 6 seemed like a good bunch. Now two in the cage seem so lonely. My five human kids miss them all too. Jean in Michigan [Posted in FML issue 3695]
