My 6 1/2 year old girl Zoey left for the bridge on 3/11/04. Zoey had surgery in Feb for removal of her spleen and a tumor that was inside it. She developed ulcers after surgery and two weeks later she went into acute renal failure with seizures. There was not much we could do and what was done did not help so the decision was made to help her cross the bridge. Zoey came to me with her best buddy Wriggley 4 years ago from Julie Fossa. Zoey and Wriggs were inseparable, they played, slept, ate together. We lost Wriggs in Aug 2002 and Zoey was a loner after that even though I have other ferrets. She never got along with any of them. I even tried to find her a buddy at Julie's shelter but she was having none of that, so, I accepted her choice. Zoey was a "one ferret" ferret. But she adjusted fairly well to life without Wriggley. She was an independent girl, doing her own thing, inspite of being blind secondary to retinal degeneration which happened within a few months after Wriggs crossing. She was like those little cars that bump into walls and turn and go in another direction. I admired her spirit. One of the techs at my vet's office said she was her favorite because of her ferratude. I miss her a lot but I can picture her with Wriggley, running and dooking and seeing once again. Sandee, please make sure she found Wriggley, though I can't imagine he wasn't there waiting for her. Also at the Bridge are Jillian, Cinnamon, Sabrina and Pepper. Let me know how they are doing. I miss them all. Ann [Posted in FML issue 4481]
