Hi Everyone, I have been getting the Ferret-L Digest for about a year or so but I have not written in until now. I responded to a woman that was looking for someone in N.J. to adopt her ferret but I was unable to get the little guy at the time. I am writing now because I recently had one of my little girls cross the Rainbow Bridge. Her name was Samantha, her sister Tabitha and another little girl I have are very upset about loosing their friend. Samantha has been sick with the Adrenal disease and she lost most of her hair and slowed down quite a bit lately. But it seemed the last couple days before she passed away she was doing better. She was up more and eating and drinking more, I was so surprised when I woke up Saturday morning and she was laying at the bottom of their cage dead. All I could do is sit there and cry, I know in my heart that she is not in any more pain and that she is now with my other little guy that passed away a few years ago named Pepe' But it still breaks my heart. I know all of you will understand how I am feeling and what I am going through, that is why I chose now to write in to you. All of your stories have touched my heart so many times and I just wanted to say Thank You All for being here and sharing. I don't know what I would do without my fuzzies. I Love them, they "are" my life. Thanks again, Trish P.S. I also wondered if anyone knows if ferrets get depressed? I was thinking Yes they do, but I was not sure if it was just me or if they really are depressed.
