It is with a very sad and heavy heart that I write this e-mail. On Wenseday afternoon my Baby Boy Pinky ( a fat cinamon with a gentle disposition) got out the door when my 14 year old sister came home from school. She failed to tell my husband and I and when I noticed he was missing we started the house hunt. And then the neighborhood. The shelters, the vets, the pet stores, the news paper and flyers in over 100 mailboxes in our neighborhood. On Friday I got 2 calls saying they saw Pinky on Thrusday and didn't know if he was tame so they didn't try to pick him up. And about 7 pm Friday our search was over with a sad ending. Pinky was bitten to death by a dog. We found his frail little body next to a bush , next to the road. There are so many lose dogs in the neighborhood that there is no telling which one did it. Poor Pinky deserved better then to die that way all alone and scared. I love him so much the tears just won't quit falling. Our other 8 ferrets are missing Pinky something terrible. He was always the life of the house with a sweet kiss for everyone and a sweet swagger when he waddled. I hope he knows how sorry I am and how much he is missed and loved. We burried him today next to his two brothers that passed before him Trent & Twinkie so at least he has them to greet him at the rainbow bridge. Jennifer & Bobby Kelley and the 8 carpet sharks with 3 ferret angels looking down on us. I ask that all of you kiss your ferrets and hug them tight and I pray this tradgedy never happens to your family. good bye Pinky my little fat fur baby know that we love you and that Daddy & I miss you dearly. And give Twinkie & Trent a kiss for us. See you one day my sweet friend. [Posted in FML issue 2437]
