Ferret
My name is Jerri and I would like to write this little tribute to my little ferret Precious who died on 10-25-1998 in a
horrible car accident. She meant so much to me.
I remember the day I brought her home; she was the smallest
of the litter. I remember holding her in my hand
and I knew right then and there I had to have her,so I brought
her home,and started to feed her by hand until she was
old enough to eat on her own. She went every where I went.
As she begin to grow I bought her a big new cage water bottles
and food dishes.
As the months went by she grew into a beautiful Ferret.
She weighed 1 pound 1 ounce. She was big for a female ferret,
it was suggested to me that I to enter her in the ferret show
in Dimondale Michigan. So on 10-25-1998 the three of us
My friend Cheryl my daughter Amber and myself headed to
Dimondale,Michigan. When we got there the judging was already
underway so I could not register her but she was still the favorite
of all the judges. When the other ferrets bit and nipped the judges,
Precious gave kisses which shocked all of the judges.
When it was time for us to leave,it was after 1:30 am,we were all very tired.
My daughter was in the car in the back seat and Precious cage
was next to Amber. I was driving and Cheryl was in the passenger seat.
It took us an hour and an a half to find U.S 23,t he highway that would
take us home. WE got to Brington Michigan just before the Viaduct
and I had to pull over to the side of the road to get a little sleep before
continuing on. My friend and I no sooner got to sleep when I felt
myself hit the steering wheel with my chest.
I remember looking behind me and seeing the back of my car in flames.
My first thought was “OH MY GOD MY DAUGHTER”
My daughter had curled in between Cheryl and I.
Then the passenger door came open and a man with a cut on his head
and in military attire got my daughter Amber and Cheryl to safety,
then he came back for me. Then he helped me get to safety.
No sooner when the man got me to safety the car blew up with my
little Precious inside. When my little Precious died a part of me died
with her. I new that my little ferret is playing on the other side of
Beyond Life’s Gateway waiting for Amber and I to pay with.
My dearest Precious you will always be in our mines and hearts,
you were taken from us so young.
WE love you and are always thinking of you.
Love,
Mother)Jerri (Sisy)Amber (Bother)Michael (Sisy)Cheryl.
LOVE ALWAYS
