What I did when my first ferret passed was to give my vet a thank you card for everything that she did. I also gave her a miniature rose bush that I potted in a nice pot. It was to represent both the rose bush and the color of the roses that I had planted over the spot where I had buried my beloved ferret. As each of the remaining three passed, one shortly after the first and the last years later, I gave her subsequent plants and cards to thank her for everything and to represent the rose bushes in my memorial garden. She told me that she has them planted in her yard and that they look wonderful. And I hope that as they bloom year after year it will remind her of the wonderful care that she gave to my ferrets in their time of need. -H [Posted in FML 5983]
