Mikoto was an orphaned ferret that I took in last year. He came to me ill with adrenal gland disease his owner said. He has lived as good a life as was possible considering he was always battling something. It came to pass that he needed to be fed through a syringe and it was by no means a burden. I was glad I knew what to do. He finally went away (Maybe to be with Princess and Sammie?) this past Tuesday. I took him to the vet Saturday…he had a urinary blockage. Surgery was successful. But he died Tuesday during the night. I had told him before surgery that if he needed to go because he felt so bad that I would understand. I told him I loved him……….. But do our animals know that? I think they do.
They come to us when in pain when hungry but they also come to us to be loved. Mickey loved to be held. I’ll miss him forever. All his brothers and sisters (7 are left) looked for him when I came home without him. His cage stands empty now. But he is forever in my heart. I LOVE YOU MICKEY!!!
