Grieving

where is she?
she can't be found
her aroma lingers
the place remains

where is she?
my small warm friend
i will remember
can i forget?

where is she?
short enough is life
shorter still for some
i miss her

Gadget, our oldest male ferret, seems to miss Tasha. At playtime he goes to the small carpeted tube tower where she spent much of her time. He circles it, goes inside, comes back out. Sometimes he lays inside.

Spoke with the vet today, Tasha had a tumor the size of a walnut on her right adrenal gland remnant; he said there was nothing we could have done for her. I know we did what was best, but, damnit, these little creatures only live 8-9 years at best anyway; Tasha barely had 3.

I'll stop moping now.

Well, go ahead and mope for a while, then get yerself another fert to soothe your hearts. She won't ever take Tasha's place, but she'll probably try real hard to cheer you up. :hugs: :lots of them:
