In June of 1994, my husband and I made a trip to the mall. This trip, however trivial, would change our lives forever. We passed a pet shop window and decided to enter. In the middle of the shop was a fish tank filled with ferrets. All were asleep except for one. I put my arm in the tank and it climbed up my arm. Of course I made the joke that "look it wants to come home with us! " That was the beginning and that ferret\'s name was Franklyn. She would be the very first in a long line of ferrets that would worm their way into our lives and hearts. It was bittersweet. They taught us about love, and how fragile life really is. Several of our fuzzy friends joined our family because others didn\'t want them anymore. Something that many people don\'t realize is that ferrets get cancer a lot. There were happy times. There were also many veterinarian visits, chemo, remissions, and relapses. In 2014, almost twenty years to the date of bringing our first ferret home, Charlie crossed the rainbow bridge. With his passing we decided that although we loved our ferrets dearly, we would not be getting anymore. I still think about all the crazy things they did, and it always brings a smile to my face. I am grateful for all the happy memories we were able to share with them through the years.
nope i did not know that! they sure are cuties but yes that is painful to see your furry loved one in pain. sorry for the sad times but glad you got to experience love and happy times too. that photo collage is so cute!
My ex sister in law had ferrets and sometimes she would carry them with her in her purse... they were real cute. My brother loved them as did my nephew.. I thought they were cute but I did not care for the musk smell from them. My other sister in law had one and i would laugh as it would steal your shoes carry them up the stairs one step at a time and hide them in the closet... also loved to steal wallets from purses so i always made sure my purse was closed! Funny animals.. so sorry after Charlie, you gave them up, but your page is fab showing all the cute fur babies you had! Love your page!...AHA NOW I GET YOUR NAME WEASEL WATCHER!!!! How funny.. I am always late to the party! LOL
