28 december my last ferret Jopie died. I feel like i ve died with him. I ve been taking so much care of him, he had insulinoma, stomach problems, gablatterlproblems and so much more. Since almost a year he was on prednisolone and things got worse and worse. I was his nurse, his momma, his help and his hope. He was my one and only and i lived only for HIM. Jopie was my last ferret. Since he died the house is so cold and empty. Still i wake up at the time to give medicine to Jopie but there is noone there to take care of. I really feel as if Jopie and i died together. I haven t been able to post this message sooner, Every time i started typing, tears clouded my eyes and my breath was taken from me. Now i know what true love is: Jopie was my true love. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b54/stiph136/imjopie.jpg <http://s17.photobucket.com/albums/b54/stiph136/?action=view¤t=joos-2.flv> this is the last i have from Jopie, on the morning of his death I know he looks fine, but he had nervedamage and his intestens stopped functioning some hours later. He rested his head on my hand when he went to sleep. That s what he always did with his favourite toys: rest his head on it. As if he told me: it s okay. My sweet boy went to sleep the endless sleep and i do hope he is playin with his brother Peerke again.
