Dear Sandee, Please watch for Hershey coming across the Bridge today. She lost her battle with Lymphoma this morning. She will be the beautiful sable with some gray starting - she was just over five years old. She'll probably be carrying as many tennis balls as she can manage. She loved to fetch the tennis balls and then stash them in one of her hiding places. Then she would wait for me to go get them and throw them across the room again. (So, which one of us was really trained to fetch?) Her cagemate (and the only other ferret she has ever tolerated), Casper, crossed the Bridge in July 2003 and we have both missed him terribly. I'm sure he'll be waiting for Hershey and they'll have a wonderful, happy reunion. Casper most likely has a wicker cat bed filled with fleece waiting for her. Please make sure she finds the tennis balls (she wears them out pretty quickly), the raisins and the bananas. Hershey was the first to join our business as a kit and will take a piece of my heart with her. Goodbye crazy girl. Kelley and Jeff Loving Bailey, Shadow, Sammy and Bear Missing Ben, Jerry, Casper, Felix, Oscar and now Hershey (Sept 1999 - Oct 19, 2004) [Posted in FML issue 4671]
