This is from the folks at the Ferret And Dove Sanctuary, Inc. Sometimes a fur-person's ills and aches seem to all gang up on them at once. In one fur-person's case, (dang I wish Wes would stop his incessant griping) , little Nala Bubble-Bubbles Ferret, it was cancer chewing away at her soft organs until she simply breathed her last sighing little breath this morning. In another little fur-lady's case, Miss Snickers Ferret , the vet said it was an ulcer burst, and she simply lost too much blood too quickly to be replaced. Doesn't stop it from hurting, either which way. We have them ready for their little grave, together with their crocheted angel and with lots of lovely white Peruvian Daffodils . Okay, I'm going to post this. it's enough. [Posted in FML issue 4916]
