Missing Booger....

We got Booger 3 weeks after I moved to Alaska and she was the bestest little furbaby ever. Would ride around on your shoulder, come when called, and give you sniffy kisses all day long. She was the smallest of our ferrets, but had the biggest heart.


Unfortunately after I got back to AK from my whirlwind East Coast trip she didn't quite seem the same....so all the kids went in for their yearly exam and we found a heart murmur....so we di x-rays and found that she only had 15% or so lung function as it seemed she was drowning in fluid. We scheduled in a procedure to remove to the fluid for Halloween, but the day before we a rough one so I took her in early. It turns out that it wasn't fluid, but a large tumor which had taken up her entire chest. So I made the terrible decision to let her go.....

She visits me in my dreams and dooks around just out of my vision. I miss that little monkey. I love all the others of course, but my Booger was my baby.....and sometimes it just hurts....
