Dear Laurie, So saddened to read of Nosey's departure to the heavens above. I lost one of my ferrets, Pup, over two years ago and still think of him daily. It took me the two years to finally get another ferret - just happens to look exactly like Pup. In a sense, Pup's spirit lives on, just an Nosey's will, in the lives of many other ferrets. One of the things I did was to take Pup's body to the Pet Cemetary and have him cremated. He is in a little box on my dresser and one day our ashes will be spread together over the mountainous range. My sincere sympathy for you and your little girl fondly, diana [Posted in FML issue 1760]
