Well folks, it hasn't been very long since my last loss but this morning before I went to work I kissed my Artster good-bye and told him about the bridge. I knew that he would cross and judging from how he looked when I returned home, it probably happened shortly after I left. I started to see signs of aging such as just general slowing down, etc. (he was 8 plus) some time ago but he was active until just a few days ago. He died peacefully of old age and now runs free with the other babies that have crossed. He was a rescue from a housing project where he was left run free and called "The Rat." Need I say more?? My heart is aching as just last night his eyes met mine and searched my soul and I knew the time was near. I know he will be greeted at the bridge by Sandee, Saraferret, and Muldoone along with Fro, Scamper, Teddy Bear, Bandit, Wilson, Natalie, Mocha, and his step-brother, Moogli...and they are just the ferrets!! Rest in peace my sweet one and know that mommy and your cagemates miss you already.... Sadly... Marla and the Woolrich gang [Posted in FML issue 4916]
