Losing Another Precious Little Friend

Well, it's inevitable, when you love animals and reside with them, there will come a time when you must decide if you are keeping them here for yourself or for them.   Our little Wazley was a rescue ferret and she was a joy to say the least.  When my daughter first rescued her, she could not even walk she was so badly malnourished and abused.   She nursed her back to health and what was once a shell of a ferret was now a playful, sweet little bundle of trouble.  Though she was blind and deaf, she still played and she still made us laugh at her antics.  We were blessed with a healthy Wazley for over 2 years.   The past couple months, her health was declining and it became apparent that it was too painful for her to even go to the bathroom anymore.  So, we made the decision to take her in and have her euthanized.  I still struggle with the thought of me taking it in to my own hands deciding when it's time for a living being to live or die.  I wish it were easier, I wish she would have just slipped away in a peaceful sleep without me having to decide to make her slip away.   I do know that she's creating joyful havoc over the rainbow bridge now and she is not in pain any longer.  Rest in peace, our sweet little Wazley.    xoxo, Janice
