It has been a little more than a week since I lost Gizmo and Smudge, and I hurt like it was just this morning. They shouldnt be gone. I wanted them to be mine, to grow old with me. They were only 2, I was sure I had another 6 or 10 years... lots of lost keys and jump drives and "presents" in the corner, maybe even "old ferret" diseases to contend with... I feel like I let them down. Like if I had known them sooner I could still have them. This is my request Brdge Greeters... There isnt a doubt in my mind that they were accepted with loving, furry arms, but I want them to know that I loved them. My 3 roomates were all "fighting" over the right to be their Fairy God Ferret and I had friends who I think visited them instead of me (:P) Could someone tell them that there are lots of tears for them. No one was ready for them to leave, and everyone wants them home. Their life before I met them was bleak, I know. Nothing soft to cuddle and rumbly bellies, but I loved them from the moment we met. Would it be too much to ask to have someone give them a cuddle for me? Not all humans forget their fuzzies... They were the first in my mind and got checked on another 10-15 times a day by their Fairy God Ferrets Naomi, Amanda and Trisha. I just hope they know we loved them. Spoik [Posted in FML issue 5125]
