Hi Everyone! Remember me? It's the Pook Mom. Its been a long time since I posted. This Friday marks 2 years since my first fuzzy went to the Rainbow bridge. She was my very first kid (pet), but never the last. When I got Pook (Since she was abandoned twice) I decided to get her some friends. We first smuggled Buddie on the airplane (long funny story), then got Mickey and Minnie. They all played and ended up being very close brothers and sisters. Pookie then got very ill after one year of her adrenal surgery and she went with a sad good bye to Mom and Dad. Mom (me) taking it the worse, but dad was no better. Her brothers and sister were sad for a while but popped up to cheer Mom and dad up again. I gotta say everyone's ferret math has been quite impressive, but I gotta tell you my house had ferret multiplication last year. Since Pookie has been gone I rescued another 4 ferrets and adopted out three others that my husband told me "No More!" So my house is the fun house of seven. I gotta say, its really great! I thought it would be tough, but really its been a lot of fun! Well, the reason I'm bugging you guys is I hope all of you could please give a good thought for Mickey. He will be going in on Friday to have three inches of his tail removed. Mid year he had a lump on his tail that seemed to grow. At the time when I took him to the doctor, the doctor felt it was just some tissue that was overlapping. He told me not to be concerned. Now the lump is the size of a very large olive. It's really just coincidental that this Friday happens to be the two year anniversary of Pookies passing away. I keep telling myself that Pook will watch over her little brother and make sure to have him come back to me safe. I love my kids so much that I worry. I couldn't deal with losing any of them right now. Thanks for listening and thanks for all you do. Everyone is so great on this listing, and I hope everyone understands that I'm just worried about my Mickey.
