IN MEMORIAM

FERRET DREAMS RESCUE & ADOPTION

FERRETS WHO HAVE LEFT US RECENTLY.....

MARGE CAME TO FERRET DREAMS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WITH HER BUDDY HOMER AND TWO YOUNGER FERRETS. THE TWO YOUNGER FERRETS WERE ADOPTED OUT IMMEDIATELY. HOMER AND MARGE WERE ON OUR ADOPTION PAGE FOR OVER A YEAR. WE MADE THE DECISION TO TAKE THEM OFF THE ADOPTION LIST AND MAKE THEM PERMANENT RESIDENTS. THEY WERE BOTH NOW 7 YRS OLD AND THEIR ADRENAL DISEASE STARTED TO TAKE A TOLL. WE TREATED THEM BOTH, THANKS TO OUR MEDICAL FUND, BUT ON THE MORNING OF FEBRUARY 8TH, WE DECIDED TO HELP MARGE CROSS THE BRIDGE TO A PLACE OF COMFORT AND FREE HER FROM HER SUFFERING. SHE WAS VERY DEAR TO US BECAUSE OF HER BEAUTY AND HER MOTHERLY INSTINCTS. SHE WOULD GATHER ALL THE SMALL STUFFED ANIMALS SHE COULD FIND AND LITERALLY TAKE THEM TO BED WITH HER. WE WERE HEART BROKEN WHEN SHE LEFT US BUT WE WERE THANKFUL THAT SHE SHARED THE LAST 2 YEARS OF HER LIFE WITH US. WE'LL MISS YOU MARGE!

MUNCHKIN CAME TO FERRET DREAMS IN NOVEMBER 2008 WITH HIS CAGEMATE POOH. THEY WERE SOON TRANSFERED OVER TO ONE OF OUR FOSTER FAMILIES. ON THE NIGHT OF FEBRUARY 3RD, MUNCHKIN BECAME VERY ILL AND WAS RUSHED TO THE EMERGENCY HOSPITAL. UNFORTUNATELY, HE PASSED AWAY ON THE WAY TO THE VETERINARIAN. MUNCHKIN WAS A BIG FERRET WITH A BIG PERSONALITY. HE LOVED PLAYING WITH PEOPLE AND BEING GROOMED BY POOH. WE WANT TO ESPECIALLY THANK MISSY, MEAGAN AND CHRISTIAN FOR FOSTERING THEM FOR US AND FOR GIVING THEM SO MUCH LOVE AND ATTENTION. MUNCHKIN, WE PROMISE TO WATCH OVER POOH FOR YOU. REST IN PEACE

PRESTON WAS A VERY SWEET & GENTLE FERRET

PRESTON PASSED AWAY PEACEFULLY AFTER BATTLING WITH HIS ADRENAL DISEASE. HE STRUGGLED WHILE HE WAS HERE WITH US BUT HE STILL HAD A TWINKLE IN HIS EYE. WE MADE HIM AS COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE AND HIS PLAYMATE RILEY WAS ALWAYS CHECKING UP ON HIM. WE WILL MISS HIM AND ARE GRATEFUL WE HAD HIM HERE, EVEN IF FOR A SHORT WHILE.

MINNIE WAS VERY PLAYFUL AND WOULD HOP AROUND LIKE A LITTLE BUNNY

MINNIE PASSED AWAY UNEXPECTEDLY THE MORNING OF OCTOBER 21ST. MINNIE AND HER CAGEMATE MICKEY WERE TRANSFERED TO FERRET DREAMS LAST DECEMBER FROM ANOTHER SHELTER BECAUSE OF THEIR NIPPING. THEY CALMED DOWN CONSIDERABLY WHILE THEY WERE HERE. WE WILL MONITOR MICKEY DURING THIS TIME AND WATCH FOR ANY SIGNS OF DEPRESSION. WE WILL THEN EVALUATE HIS ADOPTION STATUS.

FERRETS OF FRIENDS & SUPPORTERS WHO HAVE LEFT US RECENTLY....

TWEAKER

PRETTY GIRL TWEAKER

TWEAKER WAS ADOPTED BY KIRA & DAVID IN APRIL 2007.

KIRA WRITES: SHE WAS NEGLECTED AND ABUSED AND QUITE THE BITER. AFTER MONTHS OF HOLDING HER, TALKING TO HER, AND GIVING HER "GOOD GIRL" TREATS, SHE BECAME MY LITTLE ANGEL. SHE IS THE REASON WE CONTINUE TO HAVE FERRETS TODAY. OUR HOUSE WILL NOT BE THE SAME WITHOUT HER. THANK YOU MATTHEW & LEE FOR GIVING US THIS LITTLE TREASURE.

THANK YOU DAVID & KIRA FOR LOVING HER THE WAY YOU DID AND GIVING HER A WONDERFUL HOME.

ERNIE

ERNIE WAS TRANSFERRED TO FERRET DREAMS FROM ANOTHER ANIMAL SHELTER. HE WAS DISQUALIFIED BECAUSE OF HIS ESOPHAGITIS. ERNIE HAD DIFFICULTY EATING AND SWALLOWING BECAUSE OF THIS CONDITION. HE WAS LOVINGLY ADOPTED BY ELIZABETH AND SHE DID EVERYTHING SHE COULD POSSIBLY DO TO MAKE HIM COMFORTABLE. SHE CARED FOR HIM NIGHT AND DAY FOR MONTHS. OUR LAST HOPE WAS WITH THE VETERINARIAN SCHOOL AT COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY. THEY WANTED TO PERFORM A PROCEDURE TO OPEN UP THE AREA BETWEEN THE ESOPHAGUS AND HIS STOMACH. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PROCEDURE WASN'T GOING TO WORK AND HE WAS LET GO OF HIS PAIN AND SUFFERING. THANK YOU ELIZABETH AND DR. MATTHEW JOHNSTON FOR NEVER GIVING UP ON ERNIE.

NICOLETTE

NICOLETTE WAS ADOPTED FROM FERRET DREAMS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. SHE WAS ADOPTED OUT WITH HER BEST FRIEND GINGER. GINGER PASSED AWAY EARLY LAST YEAR AND NICOLETTE FINALLY LEFT THIS WORLD AFTER A YEAR OF BATTLING WITH ADRENAL DISEASE. WE WANT TO THANK PAULA FOR ALL SHE DID FOR NICOLETTE & GINGER. PAULA ALSO ADOPTED OUT SEVERAL OTHER "SPECIAL NEEDS" FERRETS FROM US. WE WANT TO THANK PAULA FOR OPENING UP HER HEART AND HOME TO THEM.

MR TUGGLES

AFTER ADOPTING TUGGLES 4 YRS FROM THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF BOULDER VALLEY, OUR SHY FURRY LITTLE FRIEND BECAME A FUN, ACTIVE SWEET BOY. IN THE SUMMER OF 2009, MR. TUGGLES WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ADRENAL DISEASE. WE BEGAN TREATMENT AND HE BOUNCED BACK, GAINING WEIGHT AND WRESTLING WITH HIS FRIEND XOE.

AFTER THE HOLIDAY, HIS HEALTH DECLINED. ON JANUARY 6TH, MR. TUGGLES LEFT US AND WAS FOUND PEACEFULLY IN HIS FAVORITE BLANKET.

TUGGLES WAS SO VERY LOVED AND WILL BE MISSED VERY MUCH.
