| Hobbes crossed the Rainbow Bridge - CLICK HERE for the Pet Manual Forum Home Page |
| Celtic Ferret |
This morning Hobbes died on his way to the vet to be put to sleep.
Hobbes is one of the "kits" we kept from my breeding days. He was my
son's pet until he lost interest in the ferrets. Hobbes was a big dark
sable boy with a hooded mask. He was friendly and outgoing and used as
an education ferret in his younger days.
Hobbes was never a show quality ferret with his slightly askewed ears
giving him a lopsided look at first glance.
Hobbes was never much on playing with toys except a wigglegiggle ball
that he would take upstairs and put in the back of the closet.
Hobbes spent in final years first in the retirment cage for older
ferrets and when he started losing weight he was moved to the sick
cage. We were able to get his weight pretty quickly with duck soup.
He was raised on it, so this was a big treat and not a battle to force
feed him.
Hobbes lived with his parents, Husky (deceased), his mother Killer
(Killconey) and sister Ione. I believe a couple of his siblings are
waiting for him at the Rainbow Bridge.

Sooo Sooo Sad to lose these little ones that touch ALL of us so deeply.
(Sniffle) My prayers are being sent along for your healing and for Your
little furbaby. Be Well and Know He's "There" waiting for us. (Smile)
P.S. Tell Him not to play too roughly with my "Jazz" Princess at the
bridge.
