Dear Sue, It's Sugar here, along with my brother who was also contained within that small, wooden box. I think if you read the metal plaque it says it all. Rest in Peace my little albino ferret child. That's what I was to him, his child, so was my brother. Together we made his life brighter, happier and all together a warm and loving home to be live in. In return he gave us his love as well. We had a safe home and loads of nice places to stash all of our treasure in, and soft blankets and bedding and yummy treats ... all of the required items to keep a ferret girl (and boy) happy. So please know that I am certain that just as we were found by your friend, we were never really lost in the first place, just looking for a new place to "hang our hats" for a bit. Now we will be watching over you and the ferrets you care for, and making sure that as we are needed for comfort, or what ever your need be, we will be waiting there to help out in any way we can. Thank you for allowing us into your home! Sugar, a well loved ferret-child [Posted in FML 7013]
