2005....

Ode to Kooter
We went to the pet store for a ferret book
But couldn't resist..just had to look.
Bud picked up a sable boy but blood he did draw
Then in the cage corner, by yourself, he saw
YOU...the only other sable fuur kid..
I thought, "this guy has flipped his lid!"
Who could love a furry-tailed rat?
No thank-you..I'll stick to my cats.
Two days in your company was all it took
The dooks and weasel dances and I was hooked.
The love, joy, and laughter you evoked with pleasure
Is something that we'll forever treasure.
Six months of love, Bud's work took him away you see
Heart broken, he cried, he gave you to me.
Happy for me but sad for you
You were lonely, I knew what to do.
I searched for two weeks until I found
A friend, da Fuzz, the only one around.
Happy again..you two taught me so much in a year
That ferret math struck..addition was near.
First Tootsie, then Sasha, Nikki and Fuji too
You brought heaps of happiness..I was never blue.
Those wonderful years flew by so fast
It is hard to believe your time on Earth has past.
It all started in July of ninety-seven
With YOU and my road to ferret-math heaven.
You've crossed the Bridge joining Fuzz your best friend
Sweetest and best sable girl from beginning to end.
Ride on my shoulder, tween my shirts you did sleep
Your memories in my heart forever I'll keep.
You'll always be my first ferret love
Until we meet again in heaven above.

In Memory of Sasha


My Sasha, Sashie, little chocolate queen
The smallest ferret I have ever seen.
You caught my eye and held it fast
"Pick me! pick me!" you said at last.
You Nikki and "Foofer" from a shelter you came
My "business" went from 3 to 6 was never the same.
Quick as a whip.."lightening" should have been your name
Thievery of empty toilet paper rolls was your game.
Running and hissing in leaps and bounds
A roll in your mouth..tears of laughter all around.

Two adrennal/insolinoma operations you did survive
Three more years, dancing and dooking, very much alive.
You beat the odds with the two dots in your ears
But Nikki and Fuzz's passing brought you to tears.

Spanky and Tina, two new friends you did find
They brought new life to a heart that was kind.
Their forever lil spats you did referee
They're quiet now..they miss their "ump" you see.

I feel so blessed for the years your company you did bestow
My little shoulder "rat" sooo sorry you had to go.
We'll meet again across that Bridge on high

Live on Sasha, healthy and young again, in the sky.
Sasha 1997-2005

Love, Tootsies8

My big,fat, laid back boy. You left me far too soon and took a hugh piece of Mommy's heart with you. Whispers slept in your Hammy the night u crossed the bridge, I think she was waiting for u to come back. Run and play my big boy, enjoy the fresh outside air you loved so much. There won't be a day I won't think of you my sweet boy. Tell Max, Trouble and The Lucky Dog Mommy loves them very much. We all will be together again one day.
Written in his honor by Hollie deWitt

When you get a ferret
it feels like heaven.
You love them lots,
With all your affection.
You go through good times,
and some bad.
When they're gone,
it's very sad.
They love the things
You have done.
The time you share,
and the fun.
He will never forget you
And the nice things you do.
Please know we are all here for you

Love Mom, Whispers and Powder


What was special about Mitzi...she was totally the princess of the house and even has a princess costume we dressed her in to prove it. When she was young the first couple years, she would run and hide behind the couch when anyone came over till they left....slowly she got more social but was always a mommas girl....she would never let the boys or Jamie hold her but I could.
She always gave me kisses. She knew her name and listened better than any ferret I ever had....she would be doing something she shouldn't, and I would yell "no Mitz" she almost always listened.

She loved to play and was verbal....she loved to roll balls between her front paws while lying on her back. She had no fear of any other ferret....she ruled the house.
The next ferret after the original 3 (Bandit, then Mitzi then Gizmo) we brought in was a rescue, Skittles. Skittles was terrified of Mitzi and rightfully so....Mitz made her life miserable....she always picked on her, drug her, etc. Skittles would scream and fear poop she was so horrified. Slowly Skittles finally got better but her and Mitz never were great friends....there was only one princess in this family and it was Mitzi. The last couple years with Mitzi's adrenal and insulinoma taking a toll on her, Skittles remembered what she had done to her and picked on Mitz a little, but weak and bald Mitzi always fought back....she had become the queen...no one not even Spunky could mess with her. When Gizmo died, Mitzi missed him, and I let her say goodbye to his little body....Bandit never did miss Giz.
Mitzi always mothered and groomed the boys...she loved Bandit especially.
As sick as Mitzi was, she was the last to get up every morning, but she always heard the microwave heating her chicken gravy and was there at the gate to accept it. She was poked at with needles so much through her little life and never fussed, both vets always said she was so good about all the medical procedures, and she took her dex twice a day with no problems. She was a beautiful silver mitt when we got her but then roaned out through the years to a dark eyed white.

My heart misses him. I held him on my chest, next to my heart and waited with him all day for his journey over the bridge. I know he went in peace with his head on mom's heart, wrapped up in the fleece togewther to stay warm. my little old man is finally gone. I will miss him. yes, it is so very sad to say goodbye...but it is eased a little by the fact he was so loved by us when he and his brothers came to live with us.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Anya waits for me
Why Oh Why did it have to be
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
my baby will wait for me watching over me
as a star in the sky way up high ........
My baby girl I never dreamed you'd be taken from us so young in life, a nasty, evil killer who hides before you know what's going on called Juvenile Lymphoma took you away from Daddy & I. You were the apple of Daddy's eye and we both love you so, we tried to protect you when we got you, so tiny and small , but couldn't protect you from this. I found out you couldn't hear my voice but we didn't care I made it so I could fine you anywhere. You touched mommy and daddy's heart like no other, you were our special girl, my darling we love your brothers too but my dear I think we loved you more coz you were our baby girl . Rest my girl the long ordeal is over Hiss and dance your lovely Dance
and Anya dont let anyone take your
N-bones & baby Ducky away from you
every one who loved you helped you to find the way
go to the light my dear were the candles of love burn bright
we love you and miss you dearly until we meet again
Love ya bunches my funny fancy pants

Gabrielle: such a big name for such a tiny girl. You came to us when you were a little over one year old, and your name was 'Gonzo'. The name just didn't fit. You made so much noise when you played that we picked a nick-name for you that would fit you: Gabby. We are so glad that we had the opportunity to be your "parents". With us you had the adventures of living on a boat and then in the RV and finally our house. No matter where we were living you managed, due to your tiny size, to examine every inch of our abodes. Over the past year you have been such a little fighter, not letting the cancer that was taking your life get you down. It seems that for some reason unknown to us you fought so hard those last few weeks. It almost seems that it was so you could get past your seventh birthday. For after that I could tell that you were getting ready to go. We are so thankful that your crossing was so gentle and peaceful. And even though you took a chunk of each of our hearts with you we are so happy to know that there is such a place as the Rainbow Bridge. For we know that your tiny body is healthy again and you are full of the vim and vigor you had as a youngster. We also know that there are many others there that met you and helped make your journey easier. So dance on in the stars our itsy-bitsy one. And each time we look up at the night sky we know that you are another of those bright, twinkling stars.
We will always love and miss you.
For you were our wee one, our little Gabby.

Remember Our Love

I was chosen today
I'm leaving to fly
The heaven's took me away
But please don't cry

And I chose you today
to try and be strong
So,please don't you cry
And don't say that I'm gone

When you're missing me
Just remember our love
I'm up near the stars
Looking down from above

Remember our love
In a moment you'll see,
That I'm still her beside you
When you're thinking of me
(author unknown)

My dearest Boo Boo may god hold you tight in his loving hands
until were together again , I'll forever hold you tight in my heart
as I've done for so many others that have gone on before you
I love you & will miss you and always will

All my love my sweet one
Mom and your Dad
(LoveAferret)


SHE'S FREE. Our Princess Fiona began her journey to the Bridge early this morning. Our girl is finally "free". Free from the cage,a broken heart,and a very ugly disease.
As she took her last breath and I gave my sweet princess back to GOD, I utter the the words again....
You're free Princess Fiona you are finally free. Your freedom came with a heavy price. Dook on little one. We love you and will miss you.

Rest in Peace little one,now you are free............

My diva. ...... my lil biter.
If she didnt want you to hold her, she would bite or pinch you
She was small but she knew how to take care of herself.
We miss her so much
