Ivy was my "lap ferret" and was taken by the all too familiar lymphatic tumor that takes so many of them. I think I loved you best of all kiddo. You are sadly missed.

You went through some tough times little guy. I'm glad you found us and our love for your last month of life to show you not all people are cruel or uncaring.
Rainbow Bridge
author unknown
There is a peaceful place called the Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies and leaves behind someone special to them, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so that they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine, and our friends there are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to perfect health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again just as we remember them in our dreams of years 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 stay behind when the beloved pet passed away.
The animals all run and play together, especially those that were together in life, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks up -- the bright eyes are intent, the body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group. His body flying over the green grass, his legs hurrying faster and faster. You, their special human, or a long awaited best friend have been spotted. When you (or their special friend) and he finally meet, and cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The joy of each others comfort, love and acceptance, so long absent, is sweet and fulfilling. You look once more into the trusting eyes of your dear pet (as would the dear companion), so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together.
May all pets find there way to the Rainbow Bridge.
All animals, even those who never felt the love and kindness of a human being, will find their way to peace by way of the Rainbow Bridge accompanied by those who accepted and cared for them them in life..

Ti was an independent little girl who got to be a lap ferret in her last few months. You were a beautiful little girl and hope you have met up with your old friend Ivy over the rainbow bridge. Peace little one.
And also a remembrance of the four unnamed miniature horse foals who never had the chance to experience life outside their mother's womb: Also to the named black appy filly "Wish apon a star" that we lost just recently. Chestnut pinto filly, black colt, red pinto filly and few spot colt. Little Misty runs with you also now.
"Little Misty"- Mini horse filly born 4/27/03 and lost same day at ten minutes old. We eagerly waited almost a year for your birth- we were heartbroken when we couldn't keep the life flowing no matter how we tried. You only lived ten minutes but those short minutes are precious to us and will always remember them.
"Peek" went to the Rainbow Bridge on 5/24/03. He was one of the sweetest and gentlest of ferrets. You'll be reunited with your old friends Smokey & Blackie at the Bridge, Peek. We'll miss you and your sweet ways. Lyssa misses you especially- you were her favorite. 2/8/98 - 5/24/03
We had a special bond, you and I. I loved to hear you mimic my voice and say "hello" when I was nearby or hear you say your nickname in that funny way you had. I loved to take you outside, share a snack after dinner on the couch and give you tickles and play pop-up and peek-a-boo. We had you too short a time. We all loved you and will miss you.
LB left us on 6/21/04 at the ripe old age of 19. We all cherish the time we were able to spend together. I'm sure your with Tweedy at the Rainbow Bridge.

Ranger left us on 8/10/05. I miss you little guy. Your eyes always shown with curiosity and affection.
Juliet- red female Eclectus 7/04 - 2/06 We lost Juliet to an accident. When frightened she flew into a sliding glass door and sustained head trauma, passing away shortly after. She was a curious and could be quite playful, funny and sweet. She loved to give kisses and talked very well. She was a joy to have for her short two years with us.
