Ode to my Samster

I had to put my ferret to sleep today. You have seen lots of pics of him over the last year or two. He had hairball surgery in early May and just like people, he developed pneumonia that was irreversible. Unlike with people, I was able to stop his suffering and send him to play with his buddy Lokie.
I miss him terribly looking at his lifeless body, and wish it could be different, but now he isn't struggling for breath and life. He will always be my little 4X4 always trying, and bringing a smile and giggle to my day.
Here is my favorite pic of him, so enjoy his little face and send a good thought his way.

RIP, little fella.
It's always tough losing a pet, but they make your life so much brighter overall.

/me hugs annie tight tight tight
i'm so sorry, sweetie. it's always soooo hard losing a loved one [pets are loved ones too!!] and it will probably take a while to accept that he's gone. but he's most likely happy where ever he is now. i'm sending you my love and wishing him an easy journey onto his next life.

FRAPPY!!!!
thanks everyone for your kind words, and thoughts. no, we won't be getting another anything until we settle down. it has been hard traveling with pets, so we will just wait until we are building our house (that gives incentive to get going too).
this morning was especially tough because it was our time to be together. I woke up this mornng & thought ... I wonder how Sam is feeling this morning.... then...........booooo hoooo hoooo
we buried him in the national forest under the perfect cedar tree.
i miss him

i had 2 ferrets - cocoa and smokey. hehe. the best dudes in the world.
i have to say, the worst thing was cocoa's death - a lot of suffering, i think he even became paralyzed... heart breaking to hear him cry... we had to put him to sleep. it was terrible... he was my lil boy. and smokey? he was the shit, tough guy... always showed everyone who was boss.
i love to see them play with dogs - my dog loved them. they would bounce around and my dog would just go insane, wagging her tail, chasing them, them chasing her.
they are great pets... really loving. lots of kisses too.
much love for u annie - i know exactly what you're going through.

I'm not gone...not really. I haven't gone away...I've only gotten bigger. My eyes, so bright, now shine among the stars. My voice sings with the wind in winter, as I leap And dance among the tree tops. I stalk the blown leaves in autumn, and brush the Flowers gently in the spring. I come to you in dreaming, on feet grown dreamtime soft, And lay my cheek against yours, and whisper: "Peace be with you." Someday we will play again together, you and I, among the stars. 'Til then, fear not to love, for your love gave my life meaning. And I return that love to you...a hundredfold...a thousandfold... Forever.

nice coralrives, made me cry but helped too. Yea Del, they are fun little critters. We had to put Lokie down 8 months ago, and I am going thru the ferret stuffs, and I am regrieving Lok too, cuz alot of the stuff we bought when we got him. I hope they are together and healthy.
I just want to hold and pet him, this death thing sucks royale.

Yea Del, I did have them together, and it was hard to tell if Sam ever was the same after Lokie died. He wasn't as playful, but he didn't have his playmate. I think he was lonely.
It has officially been a week, and I am doing better. Took his cage down and all of that, which sucked!!!!!!!!!!!! seeing his little circle in his blanket where he laid down. ARgh. I am still crying, but OB, CA helped with those sweet cats, and of course Tinkerbelle in Phoenix. She is a good friend as well.
Here's to you Sam! I will always remember you and miss you. Thanks for being such an inspiration, and love in my life.
