Today is the 1 year anniversary of the passing of my precious Gizmo who is the first ferret I have ever lost. This poem is a tribute to him today: My Beautiful Boy It's been a year since you've been gone oh how can that be? taken away, too soon the first of my original three I miss you so much, and the pain is still deep I'll never get over it, as I do still weep When you left my life, it tore me apart along with you, I lost a piece of my heart I never got a chance to tell you good-bye the guilt, the pain...part of me died You were my favorite....I wonder if you knew I was your mom and supposed to protect you What a magnificant ferret you had become you fullfilled my expectations, and we had so much fun! Your little skunk stripe and ruby eyes, big pink nose...you were such a surprise! You never heard my voice but would come when I would call I really thought you would be here for the long haul No ferret will ever be able to compare too young to be taken....it just isn't fair! I guess what I really want to say, I'll never forget you....not even for a day You will always be a part of me, and I pray to God, you knew how much = you are loved!
