We are saying goodbye to our princess Merry this weekend. Merry aka Meriadoc is our 2.5 year old PV sable girl that has lymphoma. She has relapsed and we will have to help her pass soon. We spent the weekend cuddling and trying to get a little food into her. She is starting to have trouble drinking today. Tonight she ate a little more for me. I can see her eyes are so tired. She is trying to eat for me and she's being very brave. The oncologist saw Merry on Fri. and said that the relaspse can't be reversed. We're very sad. Merry can still come out of the cage on her own and still walks to the litter and still shows such spirit. But we think it's time...it's so hard to know. We'll be deciding tomorrow to help her pass. My boyfriend will have to take her as I have to work. This is the hardest thing for me, I've never lost a ferret before. My heart's breaking. I'll be in touch and let everyone know. Thanks for all of you who took the time to help us when Merry was diagnosed in June. The support and comfort I received was overwhelming. Thanks. Trish ~ Merry, Pippin & Zira [Posted in FML issue 4033]
