I am sad to report that my Mosby had to be helped across the Bridge on Tuesday morning. He had just turned 6 in May. I will not go into the medical details - there are still some questions to be answered, but the information is on the FHL. Instead, here I will talk about who he was. I first met Mo when he was about 4 weeks old. He was a cute little squeaker, and enjoyed playing with my fingers. As cute as he was, I was not getting any more ferrets. But, in the weeks that followed, I visited him several times, and he even came to my house to visit, once after he was a little older. Bit by bit, he stole my heart. By the time he was old enough to leave his ferret mommy, I had decided I needed him. Mo was a big beautiful black mitt. In his youth he won many ribbons and trophies at shows. Everyone always commented about his eyes, which were large and jet black. But more then just a pretty face, Mo was one of the sweetest ferrets I have ever known. Mo also sired several beautiful litters, and 2 of his sons even became famous calendar boys. Bo and Taz have both appeared in The Ferret Company's calendar, and Bo was even on the cover. But at home, Mo was just an easy going, fun loving guy. He loved his human mommy, and got along well with other ferrets. When we had litters of kits in the house, he always took it upon himself to show the young boys the fine art of being a hob, even if they were not his sons. When he courted a lady ferret, he was always gentle, and never forward. Most of his children tended to have his good personality. Mo joins his former cagemates, ET and Buster, and a former mate, the sweet Kaitaia at the Rainbow Bridge. He will be greatly missed by his human Mom and Dad, and all the ferrets here, but most especially by his 2 remaining cagemates, Hershey and Kokopelli, and his sons, Night Wolf and Cloud Dancer. Rest in peace, Sweet Mosby. An empty hammock hangs in my heart right now. Danee ADV - If your ferret hasn't been tested, you don't know!
