Ah, I wish that I had your gift for understatement! There was
never a ferret more loved than Beasley. Wish that Warp had 3
and 1/2 years in her, but she still has so far lived longer than is
usually seen with medical approaches to insulinoma, and we
began adding sugars after she was advanced.

Actually, she is feeling so good today with her added medication
to control pain that we have had to watch her carefully and give
extra sugar whenever she over-did it, but, wow, did she ever
have fun!
