Title: Rufus my little man
Post by: monkeybob on October 31, 2014, 04:25:59 PM
Had to help Rufus pass today. Toughest thing I've ever had to do. He was so ill this morning it was the right Decision. I didn't want him to suffer any longer. His lymphoma had spread to his abdomen and he wasn't having a good time bless him. We both tried our hardest to fight this horrible thing but in the end we had to say goodbye.
He was my baby boy, such a wild force of nature, so loveable with a very Miscnhievious streak. The cutest furbert I've ever seen and just a fantastic little guy. Gonna miss him so much as will his brother Huxley and his best pal Wembley!


Just realised that's him in my sig pic on the right with his bro aged 12 weeks. Seems like yesterday but was three and a half years ago. Taken far too soon :(

So sorry Paul,  :fuzzyhug: is that the first one you have lost?

Not sure why I am asking really, as it never gets any easier, but for some reason with the first one, you seem to spend as much time beating yourself up over how upset you are, and how much you miss them, as you do feeling terrible that you have lost them. Nothing in the world could have prepared me for how empty I would feel after loosing a ferret.

They have personalities that seem so much larger than you would ever think possible to fit in such a small package, especially when there is so much mischief and love stuffed in there as well. :adore:

Sweet Dreams little Rufus, have a ball at the bridge. :angel1:

I lost my little girl Mokey a few months back but Rufus was the first I've had to help pass.
It isn't easy that's for sure!

He was one lucky boy, having an owner that loved him so much and was prepared to take that heartbreaking decision at the end. DIP Rufus x
