Missing him
Every day I come here, and I try to come up with a post about all the wonderful things I remember about Cheeba, everything I don't want to forget. But just thinking about it tears me up inside. I miss him so much, and while I cherish every memory, each one breaks my heart a little more. How tiny he was when I brought him home, how close we were, how we did everything together for the first 8 months of his life, and how he was always such a mama's boy - it's all painful. I try to remind myself that he's not in pain anymore, and he'll never really leave me as long as I remember him, but it's just not helping. I'm selfish, I want him here with me. One of these days I guess I'll be able to remember him and honor him in the way he deserves, but I just can't bring myself to do it yet.
And on to the living...Bonk had a low blood sugar episode over the weekend. His head was bobbing, he was staring off into space, and he had hind leg weakness. A home blood test gave me a result of 43, which is probably more like 65 - 75, so I started him on pred. He's already doing better - increased appetite, more energy, no low BG behavior. So it looks like he has insulinoma.
He and Jebabba are handling Cheeba's death well. They didn't really spend too much time with him at the end though, so I'm not really surprised. As much as I miss Cheeba, it is kind of nice to only have two ferrets again. I can devote so much more time to them, and I'm sure they like that.

Ms Ferret,
I dont know what to say. I have Marley "the Mini Moon" "Green Bean"
I have many names for this fuzz ball of mine. Marley got sick over Christmas 2006. His Birthday is September 2001 But , He was a christmas present to myself and my girlfriend. Well , He was diagnosed with Lymphosarcoma (Lymphoma) of the spleen. He has been up and down sice we had his spleen removed soon after the 26th of December 2006. His health has been up and down since. Just the other night Lenora (my girlfriend) and I took him down to a 24 hour clinic. He was lethargic and started to waste again. He eats normally and drinks normally. I suppose this is just the nature of the sickness. Well , to make a long story short. I dont know how you do it. I miss him already and hes not even gone. I am a very animal sensitive person. I am diabetic and disabled. I feel my life as all life is a gift from God. Im scared to tell you the truth. I dont know how im going to handle myself when hes gone. I cant imagine my life without Him. Just like you here come the tears once again. I guess I just wanted you to know I know how you feel. I think I know exactly how you feel and have felt .. I think I can do it again with another ferret. But so far this hurts more than when my father passed. 100 times more. Maybe makign a blog to show off how wonderful my ferret is and when hes no loner here , what a truley beautiful creation he was. I have found most people dont really know what to say or they just don't truthfully know how you feel. But I do. If I can may I put it down that Marley Moon Hicks you are a wonderful animal have been the best pet I have ever had the pleasure to be owned by. I hope you live forever but know you can't. You will forever be in my heart and because of who you are I will never think of forgetting you. Thankyou ms ferret for letting me have a place to get this off my chest. And Let you know , I know exactly how you feel.
