My memories of Tootsie
My memorial to you.. Tootsie..my special angel..my princess..where do I start?
Your departure from this world has left a deep abyss forever embedded in my heart.
Shopping with a friend in March of ninety-nine
I spotted you in the pet store for the first time.
The only light colored mitt in the sleepy group of five
We made eye contact and you came alive.
Jumping up and down, trying to escape
Fiesty and friendly, I wanted to take
You home on the spot, but I was told
"Enough is enough" with ferrets two-fold.
I couldn't forget you and after two weeks
Back to the pet store just to have a peek.
Still there with another....I knew it was fate
You were meant to be mine...I didn't wait.
I picked you up...it was mutual love at first "sight"
Other perspective owners you did bite..YOU knew I was just right.
Kooter and Fuzz were delighted with your charms
The three of you fit 'tween my shirts and down my arms.
You and I shared a bond like no other
Our alone times together were like daughter and mother.
A little chomp on my big toe meant it was time
For our "chats"on my bed and lotsa lovin' rhymes.
"My Special Angel" and "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" became your songs.
You showered my face with kisses and "chattered" in my ear trying to sing along.
I'll never forget the day you were LOST....................
The fear, the terror..."Find you I must..whatever the cost".
The open window and soft summer breeze beckoned you to play
Up the curtain, onto the sill, YOU found a way.
Chewed a hole in the screen...."oh what fun"
Outside you thought....new places to explore and run.
I searched the room calling your name
Playing your music box but no Tootsie came.
Outside the window, I heard a "clink" of landscape stones
I hurried outdoors, under the window, you were still at home.
With tears of joy, I showered you with kisses that wouldn't stop.
The double-hung windows (ferret proofing) are now only opened from the top.
The years, the precious moments flew by so fast
It's just so very difficult, for me, to put you in the past.
Thanksgiving day was the day that you chose
To cross that BRIDGE and into heaven you rose.
You waited for me to come home
To say good-bye and not die alone.
I cleaned you and offered you some food
Refused, but some lovin' was your mood.
Snuggled in a sleep sack and holding you near
I whispered the Bridge secrets in your left ear.
I sang you your songs for the very last time
Two sighs and you were gone sweeetest ferret of mine.
So many pics I've taken of you, my beautiful precious girl
To "see" you again when your memories I want to give a whirl.
Leafing through the pages just to take a look
After adding you to the Ferret Rainbow scrapbook.
Smothered with kisses from beginning to end
My sweetest angel, my most treasured ferret friend.
"If I could turn back time...if I could find a way"
When there was but three (Kooter, Fuzz, you and me)
We'd start all over again..."and you'd stay".
Your precious face, soft kisses and smell are engrained forever in my heart
Where they'll stay until the day we are no longer apart.
January of 1999- November 24, 2005.

My Angle My Love My Sweet My PreciousOne
On DEC 29 the angels took you away from us both & your brothers & sister, but know my love, you're a star in the sky now looking down upon us. When we got you 9 months ago you were so tiny & sweet, you cute little silver mitt. You were loved by your daddy & I, but you were your apple of your daddy's eye, you were his little girl. I protected you from Silvio so he wouldn't hurt you, but I guess I didn't protected you enough. I'm so sorry a home accident took you away from your daddy and I. We'll miss you, darling, so very much and I'll miss the love nips to my nose. Daddy and I will never forget you and we will carry you in Our hearts forever. Please forgive me my darling, my sweet little girl, my love, it's going to be hard for me to forgive myself, but in time I know I must heal.
I'm so sorry my little love of my life,
Zora Belle, until me meet again.Do remember we did loved you so.
Goodbye My Little Dippy Doodle Girl we will miss you so very much
Mommy & Daddy

A Path Valley Farm baby from the Dubois Pet Store
You arrived at my house as a surprise Xmas gift for sure.
Meant to be a replacemrnt for Fuji and more.....
Who had crossed over the bridge a few months before.
Instead of "dooking"you sounded like a bird.
Earning your name "Tweeter" the funniest ferret sound I ever heard!
Tweeter, Tweeter, My little groundhog boy
You brought new life into the "business", my bundle of joy!
Kooter, Fuzz, Tootsie, Sasha,Nikki, and Sara too
Immediately welcomed you with "open paws" true.
Dragging you around, making you part of the clan
The only problem found was not using the papers or pan.
Like a groundhog, you rolled when you walked
My little chubby boy who loved to eat and always "talked".
Having huge amounts of energy and loving to romp
You were my first to do the" lick-lick-CHOMP."
A lover of stuffed toys, crinkle sacks, jingle balls, and rikki snake
Loved your hammies, and snored when you weren't awake.
You dug the food out of the dish and cage onto the floor
Picked out the pieces you liked, then begged for more!
Always a healthy, robust boy until you turned five
Your yearly check-up revealed a tumor growing inside
Within two months the adrennal symotoms started to show
Hair loss on tail and shoulders meant back to DOC we did go.
Blood tests were normal so for surgery you did stay
On the table-your heart stopped-the shock-THE call-the next day.
I miss your face, your white, "floppy feet" when you dreamed
Kooter, Fuzz, Tootsie, Nikki, and Sasha wanted you too so it seemed.
Their little wild child, the original family now complete.
Until we meet again....your treasured,memories I'll forever keep.
Rest in Peace my "Tweeter Tid" 2001-2006

I am blessed to have been a part of Spaz's life. He has touched me in so many ways. He was gentle and sweet even though he could have been mean with the way he used to be treated. He was trusting. He was a cuddly boy with the softest, thickest fur I ever did feel. RIP my little boy, we love you.
Charlene
It always knows HONEY I
What should I do with so many things?
Of as many souvenirs
Without having you
The good piece side of me
I am so afraid
To lose your love
And to be alone forever
One day will arrive where
I will be able to look into your eyes
and one more time
to be with you
HONEY you forever will be the good piece side of me

You came into our lives unexpectedly. At first I wasn't sure what to think of you.
You looked like a furry rat.
But within a few days you had my heart.
I loved how you would hop down the hall then stop and roll.
I also remember how you would stare at my back until I gave you a raisin.
Then there were the times that you would show up out of nowhere to attack the vacuum cleaner.
How I was afraid that I would bo-bo you up.
My favorite memory is of your sweet little breathe on my cheek.
You had your share of illnesses and I could tell when you weren't feeling well.
Your eyes would say it all.
I felt your pain and I prayed that you would get well.
Now you are across the rainbow bridge.
My prayers were answered. You are out of pain forever, and you are in my heart just the same.
I will always love you. I will always remember you.
You will be my little shining star.

When you came into my life I did not even know what a ferret was; had no idea whatsoever and when I first saw you said, What am I in for now?
Well first we found out all we could about ferrets, how you eat, sleep, etc. and were fine with that.
You had your ways little man, and made your way into our hearts.
You had your toys and your favorite places to play. And oh how you loved your dried fruit; apricots, cranberries, raisins. Mom made sure you always had them too.
I was grateful that you were there for Dad when he was having his 2 back surgeries. You were his company and his companion. That meant so much to Dad, Casey.
When you truly baffled me was when you began picking up on "the scent" with me. You "found" the spot on my breast that I already suspected was a problem.
And you would not stop alerting me either - very persistent.
It was because of you I got the doctor's early. Four years now in remission from breast cancer and it is Casey I have to thank for your persistence. God bless you little man!
As time went along you began having your own medical problems. We tried to address the adrenal disease, but alas you did not do well with the surgery. Now I know you are out of pain and with God - you are well. I am very glad of this.
Our Angel - Casey - We Will Meet Again, dear boy!
Love,
Mom and Dad

Allie Boy was my precious angel. He was truly Mommy's boy, I am going to miss him following me around, allowing only me to hold him and tolerating my singing to him. He fought the battle of Insulinoma for a year and half, until he could fight no more. He gave me reason to get out of bed when my days seemed so dark. You will always live in my heart my precious angel, and someday we will be together again.
Mommy & Daddy love you forever.

George, my special boy, you gave us so much happiness in our lifes. We laughed so hard that our sides hurt. When you came to us you were so skinny because no one knew how to feed you or take care of you. So the Thomis's gave you to me. You got lean and mean you were the boss of the clan. Then you tried to climb a chair and it fell and broke your leg. Poor little boy you hated that cage. But then your leg had to be removed. I thought it would slow you down having 3 legs. It didn't you were right up on that couch and jumping and playing with the others. You got mad at me for this and you started to bite the back of my knees. We are going to miss you baby. Our hearts are breaking you were daddy's boy, he was the only one that could hold you, and play with you. Daddy's heart is breaking too. I don't know who is going to miss you the most daddy or me. George you will be with Jesus before I will and you will see Ruby, Big D., and the other pets we had. They will know you before you do. Tell them that I miss them and I love them and I will see them when Jesus comes to get me.

Minie came into my life 3-2-05 at 6 years old along with Charlie who was 3 years, and Minnie wasn't in the best of Health when I got her. Vet wanted to put her down then but I said no, she had a gleam in her eye for life and did what all ferrets did, she acted like nothing was wrong. I gave her 6 months but the darling gave me over a year of loving her & knowning her. She passed in her sleep. She will be missed and never forgotton

My sweetest Misty, you came to me at almost a year old. I'm glad I got to have you the 3 years that I did. You were the sweetest most feminine little ferret I have ever known. You loved to take care of your brother and sister and make sure they were always ok. You loved to play and dook so loudly under the covers. I loved it when I woke up and you were sleeping next to me. You never tried to bite. I loved when you use to follow me around the house and enjoyed our time outside together. You were taken much too young from me and this world but God must of needed you more. I wish we had more time together. I know you are probably at the bridge now taking care of all of the other ferrets and making sure they are ok. That's just how you are. Dance on Misty girl.

You came to us from a home that couldn't keep you anymore.
You soon found you had a forever home where you had love and could feel safe.
You loved to explore with me out in the workshop, so many new smells.
But you never cared much for having your picture taken.
You loved taking showers, except when you poofed after getting into a fight....you sure could poof.
Remember all the places you played, the front flower bed was a safe place to explore and play. And you would check out all the new smells on the logs during our late night walks. I miss those the most.
You were the happiest in the flowerbed, now you final resting place. I can't wait to see the flowers you will bring this spring.
We took a walk together before going to bed, late at night.
Don't be scared as you take that final walk to the bridge because the piece of my heart you have taken will be with you forever until I come to get you at the bridge.
Goodbye Missy
I love you

Jasper was born October 2000 he died January 21 2007. He was so tiny when I brought him home that he fit in a little gift bag. That is how I gave him to my husband for Christmas. It was love a first sight. Until Jasper came into our home Tom my husband did not care all that much for ferrets. Jasper won him over in an instant. To know Jasper was to love him. He won over all he came in contact with. We loved him so much and will always miss him.
Always remember, Mommy loves you

Twiggy was my first ferret. She came to me as a tiny little handful. She was too young to eat hard food. I softened her food with water in the microwave. She was too tiny for her three story cage so she had to live in our garden tub for the first two weeks she lived with us. I rocked her to sleep every night until I got her a tiny stuffed bear to sleep with. If she was not rocked she would cry. Once she got her bear she snuggled in with it every night and no more crying. She is buried with her bear. She was born in August 1997 and died May 24th 2004. A large chunk of my heart went with her. She was and will always be my tiny baby girl.

Snowy was not with us very long. Only long enough win our hearts. She came to us from a rescue. The vet told the rescue mom there was nothing that could be done for her and offered to put her down. She had a broken back and could not walk. Snow had that spark in her eye that said give me a chance. I fell in love with her while I was helping out at the rescue. I took her home and my husband also fell in love. She had such wonderful personality. I have often wondered how anyone could have been so cruel to her. We had her wheels made for her and you should have seen her fly.

Buell was a very precious ferret and will leave a hole in my heart for a long time.
