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

  1. That is a hard thing to do. So sad. I'm sure she benefited from your kindness to rescue her - she was lucky.

  9. Oh Janice Wazley was so beautiful! I'm so sorry you lost her too. But she was very lucky to have such a loving home and family for those two years. I would love to hear about some of her misadventures. It sounds like she was a bundle of trouble and joy! Vanna

  13. So sorry to hear about your little furry friends. I know how you feel. My 16-1/2 year old Yorkie JoJo boy passed away peacefully on 17 Oct last year. JoJo is now playing with so much joys in the beautiful garden of Lord Jesus, with all his favourite things, and most of all in the loving arms of our Abba Father and Lord Jesus. One day in Heaven is equivalent to a thousand years on earth, JoJo like to take nap for 60 mins, eat his meal for 15 mins, sun tanning for 20mins.... so in a short while we shall reunite in our heavenly home, to hold, play and hug him. Thank you Lord Jesus for his Amazing Grace ! Jesus Love is shed abroad in the hearts of those who love and miss their pet friend, by embracing us with is Agape Love and Shalom :) xoxo Hope you are feeling better now.
