Hello everyone, I tried to post a few days ago but my message was too long, so here goes again. Of course, it is an update to the previous, unposted message. I had the unpleasurable duty of helping our little marked white female "celebrity" ferret cross the Rainbow Bridge last night. We pondered over it for a few days, as she was going downhill very quickly. She suffered from Insulinoma, and had surgery in April. Anyone who had the pleasure of meeting Jewels, or seeing her on television knew that she was very special. She fought a long, hard fight. I would like to thank her doctor, Mary Jane Davis, for her generosity, her love and devotion to animals, namely ferrets. If it weren't for Jewels, we would never have met. I would also like to thank everyone who supported Jewels, or Fruitcake as we call her (Jewels; Juicy; Juicy-Fruit; Frootie-Patootie; Fruitcake), both emotionally and financially. She will be featured in our next Sponsorship Newsletter. Anyone interested in receiving a copy, please contact the shelter at the addresses below. I will miss Fruitcake so tremendously. This was my first case of insulinoma, and my very first euthanasia. I have been physically sick all day today, and wonder how I will ever make it without my Fruity. Donna L.
