Dear Sukie and Steve: I am sad for you, for the coming days will leave a void in your lives with the passing of your beloved Hilbert. I read your post and the benefits of the water therapy on yesterday's FHL. I thought, how fortunate these ferrets are to have parents who care so deeply, observe so thoroughly and respond with such passion, nurturing and skill. You do so much for your ferrets and family members. How unfortunate there are so many children and pets who will never know this kind of love and caring. Thank you for sharing the good, bad, hard and easy parts of being ferret parents, that we may live and learn through your experiences. Blessings to Hilbert, may he rest comfortably with Mother Nature's creatures about him.
