It has taken me all this week to try and write this. I still sit here and wonder why and what did I miss. Were there signs, that could have told me that your IBD had gone from chronic to lymphomas. I know in my heart that I couldn't have done anything but still it just doesn't feel right. I know the vet says that even if she had been closer we couldn't have saved you. You and I played in the morning. You laughing, hissing and dancing. I tickled you and you gave me little fert kisses. Twelve short hours later, you gave a little sigh and your little heart stopped beating. I held you closely, but you weren't there, you had already run down that dark path to the warm soft sunlight beyond. You never were one to wait but jumped into everything without a care. Oh, my little Ghenghis, you have no idea how much I miss your happy curious little face. Eyes that were so bright, so full of curiosity, so full of life. Life for you was for living, everything was all about having fun. Every minute, every day. You were the first out in the morning, the first to wardance down the hallway, the first to slide down the tunnel to the outside play yard. Life was a game for you, I know you're still playing. Have you found your playmate, Attila? I've lit your travelling candle. I know that you will always be here with me. It doesn't stop me from missing you. Goodbye my little friend . ciao

Heather, The road is not a long one - your little ferrets will always remain in your heart. When you think about each one, you'll always feel him/her close by your side

I'm so sorry that Ghenghis has gone to the bridge. It seems that this year we've all lost a lot of furbabies.

Oh, Heather, I'm so sorry to hear about Ghenghis! You've lost far too many lately, and I don't know how your heart stands it. Cyberhugs my friend.

So sorry for your little one! I understand how tough it is to loose a pet. Right now with dingo's health not doing too well, I am starting to make discussions myself.

Thanks guys. Let's just say that this one has got me thinking and asking questions. It's hard to hold a little one while they bleed out and not be able to do anything. ciao

You gave him the best life he could have. I have not lost a ferret (though I almost came close), but I have lost other pets and I can understand the pain. I am sorry little Ghenghis had to move on. I hope that your heart heals quickly and that you find some other fuzzies to help cover the scars. I know that they won't ever fill that gap, but they can make it hurt less. Goodbye Ghenghis - I didn't know you but I know that you were and are loved. Dook in Peace.

Heather, I am so sorry that you are having such a hard year with your furbabies. You take in and love so many wayward little fuzzies, and they love you dearly for it. Lymphoma can be such a silent disease, and even when you know there is a helplessness about it. Ghengis hid his illness for you--brave soul, so that you wouldn't need to feel the helplessness of that kind of cancer. He just wanted to live and love his life with you, which is the joy of our ferrets. He'll be dancing in your thoughts, to bring you that bittersweet joy, but he will be waiting on the other side with all the ferrets you've saved, with gratitude.
