I miss you my sweet baby boy. I will never forget the day we met, you where so skinny and scared. Some would say why try, you taught me why, for over 6 years you taught me of unconditional love, of facing trials, love without end. You taught me to love again, you brought me into the world of ferrets, every other ferret that I have saved owes it’s life to you.
My heart is shattered, death came so quick, I thought you where doing better and now you are gone. You where my sweet momma’s boy, you where my heartchild. You taught me to love again, you weaseled your way into my heart. My arms ache to hold you, my heart aches to feel your love, your sweet little ferry kissies on my cheek.
You where a fighter, you passed all expectations. Nobody ever thought you would make it this long, but you weren’t giving up. You held in there until we had to help you across the bridge. I’ve never seen another animal with so many different kinds of cancer, if only I had known had bad it was, you hid it so well, I know you where protecting me.
I rejoiced the last time we where together, your eyes where so bright, now I know you where just saying goodbye. You where letting me know you where going where you would be free once again. You finally won the battle with cancer, you will never feel pain again, I only wish that where true about that chunk of my heart you took with me.
They say ferrets are vicious, so many think they are biters-the only thing you ever took ahold of was my heart. I will miss everything about you, our long snuggles in front of the computers in the morning, the stashes of dog biscuits under the sofa, the tennis balls all over the house, the long walks we took with the dogs with you in your carry sack, all the wonderful memories you brought.
Take care my sweet one, I’m sorry I couldn’t be there as you left this world. Know that I love you, I would have been there if I could have. Your legacy will live on as long as I live, I could never turn my back on another ferret that needed my help after having the joy of being your companion. Run free my fuzzy angel, until the glorious day when we are together again.
Love you forever,
