Dear Barb. I'm so very sorry to hear that your dear Pepper is missing. I know how hard and with how much care you've been caring for him. Our sweet Petey is bound and determined to go out exploring and actually got out once and we got very, very lucky. He went into the open back of a nearby pizza restaurant where a neighbor was dining! He was brought back before we knew he was missing, but what a scare it was. But he did make it back safely, and I will hope and pray that you will be reunited with your Pepper soon. I will be thinking of you both and praying that he is with you already, or will be very soon. With a heart churning with a fuzzy mom's understanding for you and your lost Pepper, and keeping the hope held high, Lynn >From: Barbara Carlson <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: Lost Ferret - Pittsburgh, PA > >I feel like I have to confess my utter stupidity ... my favorite ferret, my >Pepper who recently had his second adrenal removed, who has cancer, who >wasn't even eating regular food ... has managed to get out of the house.
