Tiny Tigger came from the OR Ferret Shelter with Travis. Travis left for the Bridge a couple weeks ago with Dax. Over the weekend Tigger decided she wanted to join Travis. She had been eating less and sleeping more. Both she and Travis were medically fragile and every day with them was a gift. Just as Stewie was upset when Travis died, now Hero is devasted about Tigger. They were all in the same big group. On Monday morning after a difficult night, I decided to take Tigger to the vet. She was in one of Rose German's hanging cubes with Hero, her guardian. Hero would not even leave her to eat soup even though Tigger had pooped in the bedding. He loved her. When I brought the body back home to place in the cage so that her cagemates could grieve...Hero was still waiting at the cage door for his friend Tigger.... just waiting for her to return. Broke my heart. Hero paced a lot yesterday, so upset. Today he refuses to come out of his bed. He is good friends with Stewie too so hopefully they can heal each other's hearts. No need for the wonderful Bridge Greeters. I had been telling tiny Tigger all about the Rainbow Bridge for a long time. Travis will be calling to her so she won't lose the way.
