To all of you who have lost ferrets, I am so very sorry. It is heartbreaking beyond words. Sometimes it is hard to read this list, depending on our own circumstances. I have sent condolences and received many myself, and they grace the walls in my ferret room and are very special to me. I am going to welcome a new ferret into my family. There was one loss on this list, who for me in particular, touched my heart, and I would like to pay tribute to him. My next ferret will have a middle name, River. To River's Mommy, I would like to say that he will be forever remembered. Inge [Posted in FML 6691]
