Hi All, My thoughts and prayers to all lost and sick fuzzbutts and their people. Also my condolences to those who have lost little one to the rainbow bridge. I had to post. Was reading about sleeping ferrets, that is deep sleep. Sharon, the same thing happened to me about a month ago. I decided it was time for the boys to come back out to play (they had been asleep about 2 hours) two of them woke right up, but Chiquito just lay there limp. I shook him and yelled at him (all this in a state of panic) no response! I listened to his heart, it was beating, but his was very shallow in breathing! I finally gave him, YES, mouth to mouth recitation. After all of that, he finally just stretch himself out and yawned. I told him to NEVER EVER do that to me again! He just licked my nose and squirmed to get down to play. I am glad to see other Moms panic as easily as me. My husband was in the shower at the time and just laughed at me when I told him the story. Took a little time for my poor heart to slow down. These guys are my children and I don't know what I would do without them. They have brought so much joy to our lives. It is nice to see some ferret story for a change instead of all the flaming. I have just been kind of scanning this FML for a while now. Kiss and hug your little ones, you can never give them too much love DOOKS to all Vi, Michael and the BOYS Tawny: mamma's boys Chiquito: who me? I am innocent! I swear! Teddy: Is that Food?!!!???
