One more time. As a matter of fact, yes I do like Miley. I will say, however, that the girl ain't no angel. |

Growing up without pets, I never learned how to deal with these situations. I knew of animals just kinda "not being there anymore" when I went to visit again. However, actually seeing and dealing with the body is a whole different story.
I believe that I've mentioned that we're the latest set of caregivers for a duo of male ferrets. Also that I'm severely allergic to one of them. He was the alpha. His name is Ezekiel, but we all called him Zeke. He was a big guy for the more active of the two of them. However, Belle noticed about a week ago that he had lost weight, and that there were these like little hard balls in his stomach. More than likely tumors, but she didn't think of it at that time.
Now it's too late. Yesterday, I walked over to the cage to check on them. Zeke appeared to be sleeping, burrowed under the bedding. We didn't think anything of it. But today, he was still in the same exact position. It was obvious, the poor old guy was no longer a part of this world. I had a feeling that something wasn't right the last time he looked me in the eyes, but being that I know little to nothing about animals, I wouldn't know to think anything of it.
I was allergic, but I really liked the little guy. This kinda sucks. |
