My sweet Precious Angel Girl
Suzie

Mommy misses you, Baby.
My arms still ache to hold your warm little body next to my heart, where you loved to cuddle and then fall asleep when you were so sick.
I will never forget that November 1, 2003 when Auntie Reanee and Auntie Kathy drove the 70 mile trip to put you in my waiting arms. You were always such a beautiful little girl with your pretty white apron and those four little white paws of yours that gave you your special color category ... a chocolate mitt. Later when you finished your shed, you became Mommy's silver mitt.
You were only 11 weeks old and still a baby when all this took place. Reanee had rescued you from a pet store where the larger, more aggressive kits refused to let you near the food bowl and you were slowly starving. That's when Reanee became your Mommy Number One when she convinced the pet store owner that if she could care for you for two weeks, she would bring you back to good health.
Two weeks later Mommy was on the computer interacting with the other ferret lovers/owners and Reanee was crying because those two weeks were up and she didn't want to take you back to that pet store. So ... Mommy popped in and said, "I'll take her!" For the next nearly six years, you and I shared our lives together along with your sister and your brothers, Nada, Cinco and TT.
You spent over a year also, playing with your new brother, Ozzie, whom mommy adopted so you'd have a playmate closer to your own age.
I remember the pitter patter of your tiny little feet on the bathroom and kitchen floors, my darling. And I remember too, when Mommy set up your playpen in the kitchen where Naughty Nada couldn't reach you, because you two hadn't bonded yet and Nada was so mean to you. Your brother TT was the only fuzzy in our family who would play nice with you.
You've left mommy with a heart full of treasured memories, my little Sweetheart. I will never forget you. I will always love you. And someday I'm hoping God will have you waiting for me when St. Peter opens the gates of Heaven to let me in.
Until we meet again my precious little fur daughter.
Mommy GG

You left a gift for me.
You left a joyful love.
You left it in my heart.
And it shines up above.

You left me memories.
Some are nice, some are sad.
You left me much laughter.
From all the fun we had.

You left your warm essence.
I can smell it nearby.
You left your sweet kisses.
I feel their touch and sigh.

You left my heart tattered,
From a love I thought gone.
You will be my heart shine.
Anew with every dawn.

Garp
11-03 to 10-19-09

I got Garpie through an ad in the newspaper. He had been bought as a pet for a 10 year old girl who "promised to take care of him" She didn't, and her parents decided he had to go. He was about 4 months old when I got him. When he was little, he would get on the arm of the couch when I was on the computer and paw at my back until I picked him up. Then I would gently rock him back and forth and hum a lullaby to him until he fell asleep in my arms. He loved being rocked to sleep by his Mumma. He eventually outgrew it, but I really enjoyed our special time.



Garpie absolutely loved the kitties.
He would flat ferret next to them or under their bellies and just lay there as long as they let him.


This, I think, is one of the sweetest pictures ever....Cuddling with his Sissy



Garpie loved to go places with me. He loved meeting new people.
In the summer of 2008, I took him and Jumanji on a 3 hour trip to Flushing to visit some of my carnival friends.
While there they got their pictures drawn by a caricature artist.
He also got to go to the local fair.







Garpie loved......tunneling thru snow........soupies......n-bones.....tone......tubes......the rice and paper boxes.....belly rubs....his siblings.....and his Mumma.

In the last few months, Garpie developed a large lump on his left shoulder. At first the vet thought is was just an abscess. When it didn't clear up, he did a biopsy on it. It turned out that he was actually manufacturing blood cells in his lymph node, and this blood was what created the lump. There was nothing we could do for it. It never seemed to bother him at all. He was just the same old Garpie, right til the end.

I already miss my Garpie boy so much. I miss.......him always being first in line for soupies.......the way he oozed out of every sleepy spot or hammy he ever slept in.....the way he twitched his foot just like a dog when I scratched his belly......sweet Garpie kisses.......the fact that he actually used the litter box and not the floor next to it......his total enjoyment of life. I'll never forget you, Garpie Boy, my own little Bud-Bud. I'll always remember your special song that only you and I know the words to. I'll remember your kind, loving heart. I am so lucky that I had you to share a portion of my life with. Wait for me at the Bridge, Bud. Tell Bubba and Sissy and Salsa Mae and Reggae and Birdie......(and Mindy and Batty, even tho you never got to meet them here on Earth).....tell them all I love them and miss them. Until we meet again.........

Teddy Bear was a funny happy go lucky little guy who loved to play and romp with his buddies.
He was a cuddler from the start and I will be missing him for a very long time.
Run free my little fuzzy. I will see you some day.
