Today we find SaraFerret hanging out at the bridge entrance with Isabel (she is the ferret who was thrown out of the car by her heartless owners and was subsequently adopted by SaraFerret when she crossed the bridge) and Jazzy. All of a sudden, a courier brings a note from the Boss. She opens the note and reads "Jeep Ferret is crossing the bridge." SaraFerret stifles a big yawn as it has been a long day--so many ferrets have crossed today-must have been a major epizootic or sumting on earth. Sigh! But what joy when a ferret is welcomed into the heart of de Rainbow Bridge. And here comes Jeep living up to his name. Dat ferret must have wheels on him. He is really rolling across de bridge. Wait--where did he get dose wheels? Hmmmm! Yep, he does have wheels--four of dem. He stops just as he rolls over my tail. Oops! he says. Sowwy! Hi, I am SaraFerret,the bridge greeter and I am here to welcome you here to your new life. He looks at me and says I am Jeep and I am glad to be here and away from all dat pain. I do miss Mommy Susan and my sisters Squeak and Honey tho. I tells him, I know you must miss dem very much, Jeep. By de way, where did you get de wheels anyway. Oh someone left dem by de bridge and I just hopped on dem and rolled across. I tought dey were kinda cool. (I tought dis is one very clever ferret-better group him wit some of my boys who can keep an eye on him lest he gets into some major mischief). Hey Missy SaraFerret, ya wanna know sumting? I can hear everyting you say now--where I was at Mommy Susan's I couldnt hear anyting--she says I was born deaf. But now Is can hear. I can hear birds sings and all dat. Sure, I says, At de Bridge, we have no pain, no suffering, except occasional tail pain when someone runs over our tail wit wheels. Jeep cries Oh really, SaraFerret, I is sorry. I tells him its ok, but to be careful and not to cause damage to other of de Boss's creations. Its really ok to run and jump and play, but to be careful when we do dat and to be careful of others when we do dat even of de mousey angels. Well, Jeep asks, What do we do now? I says, Well, next ting we do is get you outfitted wit wings and halo. Notice my wings and halo and notice my sisters' wings and halos? Jeep says, Yep, Dose sure look nice, kinda girly tho. Do you have anyting for guy ferrets? Oh of course we have quite a selection for de guys, I tells him. So off we trots to Kit and Kaboodle, where of course no one is waiting. Where oh where is Auntie Mary Ferret? A box is sitting on the counter and is marked Jeep (if he wants them). Of course Jeep goes over dere and opens de box and his mouth falls open as he looks at de wings and he gently picks dem up wit his paws. A beautiful pair of medium shade of lavender wings with black stripes (black must be in this season). I asks him if he wants me to help him wit de wings as dey can be a bit tricky de first few times. He tells me he needs some help. Okay on wit de wings and den de halo and its a bit lopsided and rakish--we straighten it out. And then we take him over to the mirror to show him how he looks. Oh wowsie, he cries, Oh wowsie, I wishes, dat Mommy Susan could see me now. I tells him dat maybe later it could be arranged. So you really like your sings, I asks. Oh you betcha, Jeep dooks. Well, how would you like to meet some new friends that you could stay wit for awhile and have dem show you around. One is a newcomer, his name is Trooper; and de other two are from my business- dere names are Dude and Ernest. Jeep says, Hey dat would be great. A new one like me and two other guys to show me de ropes of de place. But first, I tells Jeep, Dere is a special place I wants to take you. We walk a little bit to a secluded glen and dere is small pool of blue water. Come and sit beside me Jeep, I tells him. He sits down. Now swirls de water around for a bit. While he swirls de water around, he starts he see de house where he had lived and den he sees inside de house and den he sees Mommy Susan crying biggie tears and den he starts trowing kisses to her and all of a sudden, Mommy Susan feels a kiss fall upon her and she looks up startled wondering where it came from inside de house and all of a sudden she realizes dat she sent a letter to de Rainbow Bridge and dis must be her answer dat her ferret had sent her saying he is ok and dat he loves her. One day long into de distant future he will meet her at de bridge and dey will play together forever. So SaraFerret and Isabel and Jazzy and Jeep go off to meet with his new buddies, Trooper, Dude, and Ernest to begin there new lives at de bridge where dere will be no pain, no suffering, play, and joy for all eternity.
