Buddha was my foster kid I was keeping while her parents took a long trip out of the country. Buddha had not being doing well since about a week after they left. She developed an ulcer or their leaving brought it to the surface as I had not yet even introduced the fosters to my kids. She was a very sweet ferret who would smother you with kisses when she felt better. Her little body could not handle the stress she felt and she missed her mommy and daddy too much. She went into respiratory arrest this am and while they temporarily made her feel better with oxygen she would not breath on her own. She is now pain free. Her spirit is looking for her mommy and daddy. Help her find them in Australia as I haven't been able to contact them yet. Her brother and sisters will miss her dearly as so will I and my daughter. As we had come to love her very much in such a short time. Buddha, foster mommy loves you and I'm sorry I couldn't do more for you. I thought I was doing okay and then you decided enough was enough. IM so sorry I couldn't do more I feel like I failed you after I promised your mommy and daddy I would get you better. Kodo, show Buddha the way to the dancing meadows where she can dook and dance all day long. Love foster Mom Leanne [Posted in FML issue 3867]
