Rest Easy Bobby
Uploaded: October 08, 2009
We lost one of our ferrets today. He passed on right in our arms. His name is Bobby and he was our "calm, cool, surfer-dude" ferret. He had been ill for awhile and took a turn for the worse overnight. My wife and I took him to the vet and it was grave. Sure, there were some things that maybe they could do to prolong agony or let him down and rest. The vet left the room to let us think things over. Before we had to choose, he passed right there in our arms. He didn't want us to have to decide.
Rest Easy Bobby.

May your sweet memories of him get you through this sad time. He truly is out of any pain and misery now.
This is a very sweet capture of him, too. He was really pretty.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
