Tonight is cold in NH and colder still with the loss of one more face at Ferret Wise Shelter. "Sierra Ferretwise" 12-16-03 lost to intestinal lymphoma- and sadly survived by senior shelter cagemate " Beau Ferretwise". Tonight shelter Mom had to say goodbye to Sierra who in the past 10 days quickly went from a vibrant gal to a frail ferret. We were fortunate to get an emergency appt for a look see after exam-- and the results were that Sierra had a illness none of us could overcome. Thank You to the wonderful shelter friend who donated to the Vet fund recently ,we utilized your gift tonight hoping of course for a cure. And though we know she is free of pain and able to dance and play once more-- the pain of grief runs deep marking one more furry face that had to depart before the joy of the Holidays arrived. Please light a candle and wish her well on her journey to the spirit world. Shelter Mom Alicia www.ferretwise.org [Posted in FML issue 4364]
