Here is a curiosity. Some of you may not have experience with one or both of these scenarios. But what people's impressions are on this. My boyfriend and I recently broke up. We did so amicably and will most likely remain friends, but he decided to move back to Florida while I'm stuck here in NC. We have ferrets together, we've fostered together, and we've experienced some ferrets' passing together, but we both came into the relationship with our own ferrets. He is leaving today (he will be gone by the time I get home from work). He is taking his 3 beautiful babies with him. What hurts more: when a ferret ends his journey on earth to go to the bridge, or when a ferret ends his journey in your life to go to another part of the world? Honestly, I never thought I would be as heart broken as I have been with having my ferrets pass on. But today, as I said good bye to those 3 lovely ferrets, I felt so empty and utterly heartbroken. I think maybe watching them leave is the hardest.
