I sit here with tears in my eyes where I just helped Kodo across the bridge. I dug a grave for him next to the others this morning knowing what I had to do but had postponed as long as I could. Kodo was so weak he could walk only about 10 or so inches and had to lay down to rest. He could not navigate the ramps in the cage, just like Podo at his end. I could see his throat throbbing and the noises coming out, the poor little guy was suffering and there was no return to health at this point so I did what an owner had to do. Such a good boy he was. Always glad to see me, licked my fingers and loved to lick my nose, kisses. I will for sure miss him dearly. Most dearly. At lest I still have my original ferret, Byte-me, a store bought Marshal Farms animal, a most gentle powder puff of a fur ball that kisses me also with most ginger tiny little licks so as to not offend me. So sorry this day came. But is has and is to be over soon, the worst of it is over now. Rest in Peace little guy. Gordon and Byte-me Missing Podo, Bud, Nibble-ed and Kodo [Posted in FML issue 4489]
