Having had ferrets for over 30 years, everyone was a rescue, I am now ferretless, My Chloe, Finley and Clarkie Bark all went within a couple weeks of each other. I had always teased that they would. Someone to grow old with. A very special group called The Rainbow Bridge Project sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and I would also like to thank them very much. The flowers really did brighten the days to follow. It is so quiet in the hose. I live alone, so that is quiet. No one to make soupie for, no one sleeping in my lap and no one to play Hide and Seed in the garden with. But I am so comforted to know my babies are well, happy and safe at the bridge. Old age is NOT the Golden years (except for the doctor's who treat oldsters, LOL) So many people sent condolences and I really appreciated each and every one. Someone said they hope I do not give up the fight for ferret freedom here in CA. (not Canada) Heck, now that I don't have ferrets to hide, I can yell and scream as much as I want! I will teach CA!!!
