My sweetheart Charlie, my little Energizer Bunny/Ferret, crossed the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. He was diagnosed with advanced lymphoma the first week of August and the vet said he had 3 weeks to live. Well he surpassed his "expiration date" by 3 months!! Just when I was almost forgetting he was going to pass any day, he finally did. I had been living every day as if it were his last ever since he saw the vet, so he got extra lovin's every single day since. He passed overnight, in the cage with his 7 brothers & sisters, so he was not alone. I still feel guilty that I wasn't able to comfort him in his final hours, but try to reassure myself that even though I was never sure how old he was (a neighbor found him in her yard 3 years ago, and thought he WAS mine, since I am the "crazy ferret lady" in the neighborhood) I am sure that his last years were his most enjoyable. He was just the sweetest boy, and I am going to miss him like crazy! Goodnight, sweet prince. Now you have your wings!
