After a pretty good Monday following his stroke on Sunday, today was really bad. He would not eat and could not poop. He was just a limp rag in my arms most of the day. I wish I had put him to sleep yesterday, but I had hoped that he might come more out of the stroke. Tonight at 5:30 pm I made the decision to have him put to sleep so he would no longer suffer. He was the second ferret I ever purchased, the first and only kit I have ever had. He was always my Baby One, no matter how old he got. He was six years old. I will miss his beauty; he was a very light silver mitt, and I have never seen one like him anywhere. He was my personal poster child. When in Eugene, if I had a news interview, I always had BooBoo in my hands. If I had an event to attend, I always took BooBoo because he was so beautiful. He loved raisins and red licorice as treats, but not much else. He loved to play and dook, but when I wanted to pick him up, he was ready for that too. I will miss him more than any other ferret I have ever owned. To me, he was the best ferret in the world. I love you BooBoo. I'll see you at the Bridge when I get there.
