This morning I had to have my beloved ferret,Wendy, put to sleep. She was a little over nine years old and had developed lymphoma over the last year.She was the best little friend I've ever had and was a constant pleasure to be around.Her joy for life was infectious and she never failed to bring a smile to this grouchy old man's face. I feel terribly alone sitting her staring at her empty cage( which was almost never locked). Please honor Wendy by loving and caring for your animal companions.
