We will miss you. Take care of my babies for me until I can get there. I know you are happy to see yours again. Ferrets are what brought us together, healthy bacon was a continuous debate, and your friendship was constant. My heart is sad that you are gone, because you were genuinely my friend.

I apologize for taking so long to respond. I don't frequent dA very much. I am doing very well, and yourself?

As you can tell, I don't come onto dA very much either so I apologize on my end as well.
I'm doing pretty well but it has been a rough couple of months in the fuzzies department. Ended up having to help my youngest ferret named Houdini cross over to the Rainbow Bridge in June - he was fine one minute and then the horrible discovery of cancer sapped all his energy the next - which was very hard but ended up doing something in his memory that helped ease the pain (will get to that in a minute). My other original two boys have both been diagnosed with cancer as well so it's a day to day process. One (Archimedes) is doing very well and the other (Artemis) has limited time left so I'm doing everything possible to help keep him happy and comfortable as possible, which he is. We were concerned that Archimedes would slip into a deep depression once Artemis passes on since he and Artemis are so close, so my father and I ended up adopting 3 ferrets from the Albuquerque Animal Welfare. The plan was only to get one but all three came into together, were bounced from home to home, so I knew how important it was for them to remain together since they are a bonded trio. They are 3 years old and such a delight. Their names are Blanco who is a male, and the girls, Trixie and Sylvia. All five have adjusted very well together and are very happy.
When Houdini passed away, I wanted to do something in his honor so I ended up on the internet in search of a rescue to make a donation and ended up finding probably one of the best ferret rescues I have ever seen called 'Ferret Dreams' located in Denver. It is a no kill shelter and in fact, have a medical fund set up to treat all the ferrets that come into the shelter that have medical issues. The two owners named Matthew and Lee are such wonderful and caring people who are so dedicated to ferrets. They also have this Dream Angel program set up where you can sponsor one of their permanent residents who is too ill to be adopted out. I'm currently sponsoring three little angels there.
Here is more info on the rescue since I know you love fuzzies as much as I do! They have such wonderful stories on their website about their adoptions and permanent residents: [link]
Great hearing from you again! Take care!

They sure do. ;o) I also found out that Pedialyte will not only rehydrate the little guys in record amount of time but it happens to be one of their favorite drinks as well.

He's doing well without the lupron, with the exception of having virtually no hair and being a bit more lazy, if that's possible for a ferret, but I have faith he will be fine. I was told it should help him feel better and keep the cancer at bay, which is all I can hope for. I thank you for your prayers, and the good outcome for Nip reassures me.
As for dA, why not make one of your crazy food concoctions. That should pick you right up!

Poor Tony, give him all of the snuggles and ear scritches that he can handle.

Aww, thanks. He gets lots of love, don't you know!
Can't wait to see it! Although I don't think anything can beat those bacon-covered twinkies. *gag*

It's the least I can do. I know what it's like after almost losing my Jillie. No one should be alone when they lose loved ones.

I just gotten a ferret a few weeks ago... my sister saved him from a woman who owned like... twenty other "dead" ferrets in the cage along with him. 
... I know I'm random but, Just the thought of the lady neglecting her ferrets just puts me down.. and to see someone who cares for them makes me happy!

Thank you very much. I'm very glad to hear that your little one is getting better. People that neglect their pets disgust me. Even more so the caged ones. Look at my Friends List, you will find many more that share my love for the Mustalid.
