My ferret Sugar has been battling cancer for about 6 months now and this past week it's been very clear that she's losing her battle. I took her to the vet for the last time this afternoon. Even though she's been sick and I've been preparing myself, I can't believe how much this hurts.

Sugar was a rescue from a hoarding situation. She never did really warm up to people although she'd seek me out for treats. She loved the other ferrets though and they loved her. She was never rough with them and the new rescues would spend a lot of time with her. I think her calmness was comforting to them. One of my favorite pics of her is with her and Bella sleeping in the hammock. Bella loved her a lot.

My other favorite pic is before she got sick. She had the most beautiful cinnamon sable coat.

((Greta)) I'm so sorry for your loss.  It's never easy to lose a furbaby no matter how much you think you're prepared.

Greta, I'm so sorry Sugar Bear lost her battle.  She was a lovely little creature, and I'm sure there is a hole in your heart tonight.

 

Hugs!
