My boyfriend and I moved to Tucson not quite a month ago. Well the house we moved into didn't have room for my 3 ferrets yet. So I had to board them until an extra room could be built. I found a wonderful & knowledgeable lady to care for them. I hated to have to board them especially Smokey because he had adrenal disease and he wasn't a good candidate for surgery due to his age. We tried a Lupron shot but it didn't do any good. The lady that was boarding my fellows has done an excellent job in caring for my boys and I want to thank her form the bottom of my heart! (She knows who she is) I went to see Smokey today and had to make the decision to put him to sleep because he was having a hard time breathing. I asked my friend if she could taking him because my heart was breaking. She never had to make the trip. My little guy passed away 5 minutes after I left. He was waiting to say good bye to his Mommy,Tigger and ThunderPaws before he went. He's now with Taz & Chloe. Laurie Christ [Posted in FML issue 4269]
