Dear John and Beckie Both of you have lost ferrets this week, and I know,there are no words to describe how you feel. Please take comfort knowing you did ALL you could for them, they had good homes, loving foster parents, were warm, fed, and had good clean water. The pain in your hearts will never go away. Time, is the greatest healer, and it will ease the sharp edges off of the pain you now feel. It sounds like you did all you could for them while they were in your care. They were never abused while you had them, and never suffered the unspeakable horrors other animals go through. May you both be blessed in the days to come, and take comfort in the fact that you have no regrets. It sounds like you both went above and beyond the call of duty. Bless you both for your caring, loving attitude. Marilyn at Ledoux Hospice [Posted in FML 5665]
