Miss SaraFerret, I am so sorry for your Mommy's heartache. But, 9 years is a long time for a ferret to stay on earth. I am sure he was loved and will be happy on the beach until joined by others who prefer the sun to the snow. It does sound as if your mommy has her hands full. I know that will keep her busy, though. Keep an eye out and don't be a stranger! The Poop-in-the-Corner Gang :) [Posted in FML issue 4589]
