Got a call from my foster Mom. She was crying & hysterical. She had gone for an outpaitent surgery today, got home about 4 pm. Checked on Spanky Rose, she was ok & sleeping. Mom laid down as she was sick. Got up about 8 pm & checked on Spanky Rose. She had died in her sleep. Spanky was a special lady (they all are but some more than others), she came from an overcrowed shelter. She had spinal injuries that had not been addressed by a vet. Our vet did her best but the damage had been done. And Spanky got a wheelchair. But she loved to be on the floor & do the *combat* crawl. Her foster parents loved her as tho she were a human child, (don't we all?) they worked with Spanky Rose daily so she could move better. This has crushed them. And I did a follow up call on a couple of young ferrets I'd adopted out last year, PO & Ko. Po was a big albino boy just full of live & a sweet kissy face. Ko a sweet little light brown sable also sweet. Po got a bacteria infection & crossed over. His adoped Mom will call me & let me know what it was. KO is doing well & never got sick. So, on Spanky, she'll be looking for Joshua, Kelly, Nanoo & Gabby. Po will be looking for Rascal, Bilbo & a host of many fro here.
