Dear Saraferret, four years ago this March 31, my beloved Ziggy passed away without any warning. I didn't get a chance to tell him goodbye or even be with him as he died. Ziggy was my special boy. Each morning he would crawl up on to my lap for a bite of bagel and then when the MTV music came on I'd put him over my shoulder and we'd dance around the room. He loved Mambo #5 and I always changed the girls names to all the ladies in his life. He loved to go places with me and when he couldn't go he flat dogged and looked miserable. He's with all the ladies he loved, Lillian, Sylvia, Molly Ann, Weasey, Franny, and Sissy. He left behind a heart-broken mom and a lonely white Taz ferret who he had taken under his paw to try and raise correctly. My beautiful sable boy only lived to be six but left me a lifetime of memories. I miss him so much Saraferret, will you please let him no I never turn on MTV any more and his dad never has anyone using his toothbrush nowadays to scratch himself with? Tell him I burnt his special flag when he left because I couldn't bear to see anyone else play with it. I love my boy and there will never be another like him. Thank you for checking on him.
