Rascals going back to the vet

[*blackrose]

He's gone. My perfect ferret is gone. The ferret who started it all, is gone. I held him, told him I love him, then told the vet it was ok to kill him.

Not kill him. Free him from suffering. There is a huge difference. One is done with callousness, the other with the strongest love possible.

(((hugs)))

 

[Laurelin]

Oh no, I'm so so sorry, Jess.

 

[Gypsydals]

I am so sorry Jess. But you did NOT tell the vet to kill him, you told the vet to take away his pain!! There is a difference. Like Blackrose said one is done with callousness the other is done with love. (HUGS)

 

[JustaLilBitaLuck]

I'm so sorry, Jess.

 

[Izzy's Valkyrie]

My thoughts are with you <<hugs>>

 

[JessLough]

Thanks guys ((hugs))

I'll make a proper post for him tomorrow. I can't bear to look at the pictures right this moment.

I'm hiding in my room at my brother's place in Wisconsin right now, it's all kinda unreal to me. The loss is resonating.

He wasn't mine, but he feels like one of mine.

Rascal sealed my decision to get ferrets of my own. Rascal made Palom's loss easier on both myself and Porom (who I'm sure would have delved into depression had it not been for Rascal's periodic companionship). Rascal's always been the Ferret That Is. He was old as heck for a ferret and yet I'm pretty sure Jess and I felt as though he would live forever.

I'll miss you so effing much, little buddy. Thank you for being the ferret who started it all. I'm so sorry I couldn't be there with you and Jess when you passed like I had hoped to when the time came.

(I am so glad I did this photo session with Jess in the fall. So. Glad.)

You gave him one finally gift of love hun! I'm sorry for your loss.

 

[Gempress]

I'm so sorry to hear about that! And no, you didn't kill him. You let him go peacefully and without suffering. That's the most loving, unselfish thing a pet owner can do. (((HUGS)))

I totally broke down at these parts

And yes, Rascal was supposed to live forever. He was supposed to grow old with me, and teach all our other ferrets how to be good siblings, and kick ass in the FerretFest competition, and continue to allow me to dress him in silly costumes, and let me dye him like an easter egg, and.....

I am so grateful for my other 2. Without them, I don't know what I'd do.

Oh, Jess...I can not tell you how sorry I am for your loss.

You made the decision you made out of kindess...because you could not bear to have him suffer. It is the hardest choice any of us have to make for our beloved pets and it sucks majorly.

(((HUGS)))

[Dekka]

((hugs)) I am terribly saddened to read this. I keep reading about your ferrets (and Allies) and wish I could meet them, the all sound so fun. What a handsome fellow he was. RIP Rascal.

 

[k9krazee]

(((Hugs)))) I am so sorry, it is very edivident that he was loved very much.

 

[JessLough]

Thanks all. I can't stop crying, it hurts so much

 

[Bailey08]

I'm so very sorry for your loss. You have my deepest sympathy.

 

[Toller_08]

Oh Jess, I am so, so very sorry to hear about Rascal. (((hugs)))

 

[~Dixie's_Mom~]

[Fran101]

I am so sorry Jess. I have tried to write in this thread 2910458 times but have no idea what to say.
((HUGS)) you gave that little guy the best life ever and did everything for him. He was lucky by any standard to have you as a ferret-mom
