Today finds SaraFerret tossing notes into de air--her human is so far behind in postys--emails systems down--human errors--who knows. As you may or may not knows, ferrets at de Bridge are no longer allowed computer access (something about ordering pizzas and you can imagine how dat prank went over). So all mesages are sent telepathically to de human who must post. And so.... Today was a beautiful day at de bridge. SaraFerret was taking a nap by de misting pond where soft fall breezes were blowing. All of a sudden, Dexter de little boy courier, dropped a note on her nose. Hey SawaFewwet--special fuzzy on de way cwossing de bwidge. Ya best be wakes up or de Boss will be upsets wit you. Wakes up SawaFewwet. I opens my eyes and Dexter took off immediately. (Smart Fuzzy--in fact dat little guy is getting smarter every day-now if I could just get him to hand me de notes, it would be perfect). I gots de note and read it. I got out of my hammie and headed for de entrance. Just in time. A black sable fuzzy was kinda wandering crossed de bridge. I stood at de entrance ready to welcome him. He walked right up to me and wrapped his paws around me and starts sobbing his little heart out. Is dis where I belong? I just don't understand anything anymore. Someone threw me and my brother, Jason out in de streets and we walked around and we gots lost and we gots hurts. See my nose and my foots. I gots sicks. I couldn't finds my brother and den dese people tried to catch me, but I gots scared and den de tries to catch me and dey finally catches me. Dey gave me some stuff to fix me and gave me some soups and de lady says her name was Debi and de guy says his name was Keith and oh by de way my name is Jasper. Dat Miss Debi was so nice to me. So why did dose people throw me away like I was a piece of trash. Dat nice lady held me in her arms until I woke up here. Why coudn't I have stayed with her. And what happens to my brother. (All in one breath, he said dis). He was sobbing and holds on to me for dear life while he tells me all dis. I keeps patting hims on his backs like I do when dey crosses. Well little Jasper finally calms down. So I introduces myself, I am SaraFerret and I am de bridgegreeter. Welcome to de Rainbow Bridge. Dis is your new forever home. Your brother, Jason was found and is now with Mommy Debi and is about to find a new forever home. But as for you, here you will never ever know any more pain or suffering, no one will ever abandon you here, here you will run free forever, you will never be called trash here or tossed into the road here. You will have lotsa of food and water, did I mention fun and games. Jasper cheered up quickly and noticed my wings. Hey, dose look so cool, do you think I could get dose things. Of course I says. So off we went down de garden path toward Kit and Kaboodle where de wings were stored. We opens de door and on de counter was a big box (of course) Jasper opens de box and took out his wings: Silver with black streaks--perfect for a tossed away ferret--to give him de dignity dat someone never gave him on de earth. I helped him with de wings and adjusted his halo and he went to de vanity mirror. He gazed at his reflection--for de first time he could see how handsome he was meant to be--how de Creator had meant him to be--no messed up nose-no sick body-no hurts--he turned to me and says to me--Gee I wish Mommy Debi could see me now. Den I gots an idea. So we went out de door and down de garden path and toward de misting pond. We sat down by de cool clear water and I swished it. All of a sudden a vision of Mommy Debi appeared. She had Jason in her arms and Jasper gots so excited, he starts waving and dooking, he flaps his wings. Look at me, how handsome I am. I don't hurts anymore. Thanks for everything. I love you. So he started throwing hugs and kisses and wrapped dem with his love and laid dem on a nearby shooting star which was headed toward your house. With another swish de vision was gone. So we headed down de garden path toward 45 Fuzzy Loving Lane where Mommy Debi's fuzzies lived. Dere was a Welcome to De Bridge Jasper banner sign across de cottage. Jasper was puzzled--how did dey know I was coming, he asked me. Oh, I says, we have a way of knowing de things. So we went in and my was dere a party going on and food-- goodness-- squirt cheexe and crackers, cold iced tea, cold pepsis, a bit of cat food, and even a bit of should I mention dis-chocolate. Dancing fuzzies tripping over each other. I hugged Jasper and left him with his new family. I knew he would be taken care of by de Fuzzy Loving family as dose NJ fuzzies are a good group and really know how to welcome. I headed back off to de entrance as I knew dere was another fuzzy getting ready to cross. Blessed are de Rescuers as dey shall wear crowns of gold.
