After Casper's crossing on 12/21, Precious followed on Tues, 12/27. An ultrasound done on that day showed that she had multiple areas of lymphoma throughout her abdomen. As she was very ill we opted to help her cross the bridge. Two babies in 6 days is so very hard to handle but this post isn't about that it is about asking for a very special gentle spirit be welcomed to the Rainbow Bridge. Precious came to me last Feb with 4 of her buddies from a neighbor's son who found he could no longer provide the care these fuzzies needed. I had already taken one from him who was ill at the time and crossed the bridge 10 days after I got him so Precious was one of six in that business. (And 2 others have crossed this year and should be waiting for her). Actually, I consider all of them my business though since I took them into my heart at that time. Precious was a silver mitt who was mostly white with little silver, a dainty little girl of about 5 yrs of age. She had the sweetest temperament. She always seemed to be the "low woman on the totem pole" in her business too as the others always seemed to jump on her and drag her around but she took it in good grace. She did have the opportunity though to be top ferret when I would let her play with Hershey, the baby of my business who is 10 mo old now. They had a great time together. So, bridge greeters, please make sure Precious finds her cagemates, Bandit, Pebbles and Snoopy. Tell her that her Mommy misses her and I so dearly wish there had been something that we could have done to help her. There are others of my business there as well so hopefully they will all be together and I will see them all again someday. And Saraferret, thanks so much for greeting Casper and showing him around and letting him look in the reflecting pool even though you were supposed to<g> I really needed to know he was safely there.
