Hi all, we have had gorgeous weather here, but I see that I have a message from a hooman on de Fml. Koota was there to meet Angel, but he didnt want to tag around wit her--ya know how boys are, so Is takes her wit me to de northland ferret homes of de ermines and all of us wintering weasels. She knows dat you loves her but it was her time to go to de Bridge. She is really happy with da winter weasels. Great help in caring for dose bunches of baby kits dat de Boss gave me--sigh-what a handful---always wants to play and bother de ermine mommies--at least dey are no longer bothering the mommies for milk and de mommies are so happy--I tink dat two or tree of de kits have decided to be ermines--go figure. Well dose dat want to be ermines are white at least. I tink dat de ermines have gotten used to us winter ferrets. Very sad news for my Mommy--I had to run to de bridge twice last month as Mommy lost two ferrets right in one month. Dese ferrets were dere when I lived wit mommy--Dere were Taz and Shelby. Unknown as to Taz's death cause, but Shelby had some prostate trouble and what is called Cushing's disease, where he pees is all pus. Poor Shelby would cry when he had to go pee. But he was 8 years old and so rather than Mommy having him have surgery she decided it was his time to go to de Bridge. Taz were 9 years old and de vet says he wasnt well--but didnt know quite what it was. Well, mommy went to get Taz out of de cage to pway and he was cold and nothing. Mommy ran awound de house looking for that heart ting dey use to check heartbeats, but Daddy said it was too late. Mommy screamed and cried. So poor Taz was laid to rest and Shelby soon followed--Mommy still thinks it had someting to do wit dat furvac he got last year wit de reaction and iv's and all dat--he had some brain damage as he had been so loving, and after dat he would try to kill all de ferrets, so he had to have a separate play time. Now youse would tink dat Mommy wouldve given up on Ferrets, but no, she now is down to two--Mickey de Mouth, and Jezabel aka Jazzy and dey are de same age and pway together. Mommy had sworn up and down dat no more ferrets, but when a lonely ferret is around, Mommy seems to have a pull for dem Take care all SaraFerret [Posted in FML issue 4618]
