It is with a heavy heart that I write this request. Dearest Saraferret, please make sure my Deuce has made it there safely. He lost his courageous battle with insulinoma on Saturday. True to his loving nature, he was gracious enough to hang on until I found him and was able to say my goodbyes, and then he passed in our arms. I am truly thankful that he made the decision to wander up to that family in the park 2.5 years ago, and that family knew the lady at the pet store was crazy about her ferrets, thus brought him to me. He will be missed dearly by my parents and I, as well as, Merlin, Freckles, Chewy, and Sassy. Merlin (his old buddy) and Freckles (his favorite lady) were especially upset to see him go. I told him that he will finally feel better without the disease robbing him of his energy and weight and be able to dook and jump again, without worrying about his back legs making him fall over. I also told him that he would finally be able to see Lilly again, whom I know that he has missed dearly. Please Saraferret, you made sure last year that Lilly wouldn't be alone when she passed (she was my first to go) and you set her up with the Texas ferrets, I hope that she will be just as happy to see Deuce. Hopefully, her acquired Texas drawl won't confuse Deuce too much. Also, please make sure that my Deucers gets all the Mountain Dew that he can ever want, because he was forever trying to steal Mommy's. And make sure he has a Croc to play with because he loved to stash mine (I believe his preference was for the left one...). Thank you so much, and most importantly, please make sure that he knows that he was loved as much as a fuzzy can be loved. He stole a piece of his mommy's and grandma's hearts, and he will be forever missed. So, please be on the look-out for a big-boned (over 3 pounds!) black-eyed white boy. He's a very easy-going boy that will most likely be trying to flirt with any girl he can find. He loves to cuddle, and all the girls would flock to him for snuggles. I hope that he can have a pair of wings with blue in them, as he looked so very handsome in blue. Thank you very much Saraferret for making sure he gets there safely, and letting him know that one day we will meet again.
