Hi Sandee, We are asking that you please welcome another angel to your care. Our Snowman was helped over the bridge on January 7, 2003 at 6:10 pm. He had a very large mass in his chest that was hindering his ability to breath. He also was very full of fluids. We were able to keep him from hurting and maintain him on meds for such a short time before we had to make that dreaded decision. He was atleast 7 years old. He and his mate Witchie-Poo came to us 3 and 1/2 years ago. You see, they were in a ferret shelter for an entire year before we came along. We imediately fell in love and have been lovingly caring for each other since. Witchie-Poo has remained on Earth with us but is so very lonely. She does not like any other ferrets. She misses her Snowman so very much and is terribly lonely. She has taken to sleeping in bed with the mammas which seems to help. So please kiss our Snowman for her and us and tell him he is loved and terribly missed. Also, we lost a very sweet ferret named Peanut a month ago. We are just wondering how she is doing? Could you tell her we miss her and love her and can hardly wait til the time we will be reunited. Thanks so much for caring. Yours very sincerely, Cheryl, Wendy and the remaining 25 fuzzy gang [Posted in FML issue 4023]
