Good Morn ya all, Just wanted to check in and say im still around but things have been relly busy here at the shelter and personal issues going on,, I have had to move to a cheper place sence times are getting hard around here as we all no, jobs, our living expences and our familys and pets and even our rescue shelte rand loseing our love ones, but the last few months things have relly took a turn on me and my partner, we have lost some of our hospice kids, elderly or the sp needs kids. But with me Loseing ( Tiny Tim ) Timmy,and me got the i dont care anymore addatude, While all this was going on my Partner wish is also a branch director her and her husband has been baseacaly careing for the shelter kids both in my home and her shes up to 20 and i have 23 so thats alot of mouths to feed and care for , We have had our scwubbles but were always there for each other no matter what, a couple weeks ago my god daughter had a bad 4 wheeler acct and been finaly sent to Childrens Hospital in Little Rock, they were going to pull the resperater on her yesterday (Subday) so i had to be down there with the family she was only 13 yrs old. in the mean time befor i was to leave for Little Rock saterday night morn Saterday at noon petco called and needed for us to pick up a little ferret cause they thought it was just to young to be sold, come to find out he was only 4 to 6 weeks old and a runt as tiny as he was and dehytrided and week and other medacal issues he had Katy took over to care for him while i was gone, i new he wasnt going to make it sence he was so sick and tiny if he did i would have been shocked, but anyways katy went and took time out of her job ,her sleep and her weekend from doing outtings and such just to be home and gave the baby wish name had been given to him as Wookie but she took the best care of him actualy better then i would have cause i would have actualy gave up and had him helped cross over to the bridge sooner , but katy like me wanted to fight forthis little guys to save him like i did the first time this happened to me back in 13 yrs ago, so i let her, she did everything right by the book as i have tought her and withthe helpof out great vet drs, they to had told her he had a slim chanch but Katy said as least lets try, I dsaid ok and left Wookie with her and went on to Little Rock to my see my God daughter and say my good by to her, Katy and I had talked thru the day and she even fill me in what was going on while i was down there, and i knew from what she was sayin the baby was trying to pass and she was trying to save him, after 14 hours of being 3 hours away from home hardly any sleep i was an hour from home when katy called me last night at 9 to say i think hes took a turn for the worse and hes dieing, i had already knew he was going when she called me a couple hours befor and told me what he was doing, anyways i told her to hold him and love him that i was an bout another hour from home, by the time i got there and took him he was taking his last breath i kisses him loved on him and told him about the rainbow bridge and held him to my chest and i was telling Katy she had done a wonderderful job careing for the baby like she did and while we was talking i felt him jerk a tiny bet and he was gone, This was Katys first experance with a tiny baby ferret sence she been a partner and join my shelter 2 years ago and it tore her up big time like it did me the first time it happened to me back 14 yrs ago, Theres not a darn vet dr in the world that could have saved this baby, not me you or even katy could save this baby knowing he was heading for the other side, but what that baby did get that no other tiny baby ferret that was probly picked up by mistake at the marshelles farms and so tiny and young to be trown in the back of the store to let die or whatever they do to them Tiny Wookie got just alittle over 24 hours of extrea Love and t.l.c. he deserved befor his passing last night. I just wanted you all to know what a great ferret partner i had and that things should start setteling down and i need to get back into the swing of things and not let other people hurt me behind the screen to get me down or i am going to go totely insane Cause i feel at lost when im not here reading on the forum or fml and posting and enjoying you as family here. Thank you all for you loving support of friendships and encouragement to try and keep going, and BarbBurnett Im sorry i didnt get to come and see you and the family but i just had to get back home to be there for Katy for when the baby ferret did leave here cause i knew how it would going affected her,.
