You've done a wonderful tribute to King Larry. I apologize for not replying sooner, however Larry's loss had stirred up the emotions from the loss of my 4 ferret boys. Especially the empty cage. That about killed me. I'm glad you have Jill to help heal your heart.

Aren't ferrets just awful? They worm their way into your heart, they're so adorable with their ferrety ways, but they don't let on they're sick until there isn't much you can do. It is not your fault, there likely wouldn't have been much you could have done if you'd found out about his illness sooner. I believe Larry was 6ish. At that age when something goes wrong, it's generally bad so don't beat yourself up. You gave him a wonderful 6 years, try to focus more on that than the manner of his passing.

I am very, very sorry for your loss.
