Gone from view - AUSTIN FERRETWISE 11-10-2004 - 05-28-08 No more will Blossom get to steal your treats - or the children get to pet you... Lost to bone cancer - you left on your own terms, sleeping by hospice Dad Greg. We will miss you our bright eyed ambassador. May you rest in peace. Love, shelter Mom Alicia Dear shelter friends. It was just a week ago Austin had trouble walking - he went to the vets and was put on antibiotics for possible bone infection-- but it was cancer. Before we could arrange surgery for amputation he leapt his earthly ties in the sleep of night. He is greatly missed by the Ferret Wise staff, hospice Dad Greg, Shelter Mom Alicia and will indeed be missed by youngsters at the Boston Children's Museum where he was a star ambassador. So young to leave... Live on in spirit gentle one-- Memorial donations in Austin's name are appreciated. They will be directed to the Emergency medical fund to assist the other hospice ferrets in the care of Ferret Wise. All donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. www.ferretwise.org [Posted in FML 5987]
