Hi, I just wanted to let everyone know that I am Mr. August's proud mom in this years' FML calendar. Teddy passed away almost two years ago, come October. He was a wonderful ferret, chock full of personality. He claimed my heart the instant I saw him in a pet store. He climbed the cage repeatedly to look me in the eye and say, "Hey, take me home...I'm the one you want!" He loved to hand wrestle, and would reach up and wrap his paws around my arm and ask for a lift up. He loved stuffed animals and beanie babies, and every Christmas he would launch attacks on my 2-foot parachute cloth Santa, dragging it off the coffee table and as far away as he could. He was king of the towel surfers, too! He loved to bob for toys in the ferret sized swimming pool and was the only one who appreciated the rice dig box. He also had the biggest brown eyes. You could just lose yourself in them. I missTeddy, Gidget, BJ, Kelsey, Molly and Angel every day. I fear Fozzie, my sole survivor, isn't long for this world now. He stopped eating on his own yesterday. I think his heart is finally giving out, after a year of treatment for cardio. I'm so worried. I hate the thought of losing him, but I also know he would be better off at the Bridge, where he would be free of his sick, tired, and weak body. This is going to be a rough day.
