This is the hardest message I have ever had to type. I lost my soulmate, my=
ferret, TOMMIE! He passed VERY unexpectedly May 17, 2009, Sunday around 11=
AM. Just FOUR days after my birthday. I am shaking and crying and can't be=
lieve I am typing this. I couldn't bring myself to get on here sooner. But =
wanted to let all you WONDERFUL Tommie supporters that he is no longer in p=
ain. My vet picked him up at my house and performed a necropsy which reveal=
ed he had an inoperable tumor on his liver way up under his rib cage that h=
ad a hematoma (sp) blood clot that ruptured and he basically bled out. She =
assured me there was nothing anyone could have done and he didn't appear to=
suffer. I did not hear any calls of pain to alarm me so I think and hope h=
e=A0went quietly. He was not acting his=A0normal self (nothing out of the n=
orm for Tommie though) Sat so I kept a watchful eye on him. NEVER in my wil=
dest nightmare did I think he would die. He had been sooo good since
his surgery last Oct.
It hurts soooo much!! My little baby boy is gone! My lil booper. He loved h=
is Nbones. I will never forget him clawing up my legs to get me to get him =
one. He was a goober! Oh but boy did I ever love that goober!!!!!
Peanut is frantically searching everywhere to find Tommie and that breaks m=
y heart. She is blind and I think she leaned alot on Tommie for guidance.
I keep thinking this is a nightmare and Tommie will peep out of a hidey hol=
e.
I can not guarantee when I will be online again. I can't be online=A0much t=
hese days or I get migraines.=A0The quickest way to get a message to me is =
my personal email mbfuzzbutts {AT} verizon.net=A0no spaces and replace {AT}=
with @ or my home address.
Please keep Peanut and me in your thoughts and prayers. All I do is cry and=
sleep and cry. Losing Tommie is one of=A0the worst losses I have gone thro=
ugh. He followed me everywhere.
THANK YOU everyone for all the support and kind words the past year for Tom=
mie. I met alot a wonderful new friends.
Again, please understand, I will reply to any personal messages=A0but it ma=
y take weeks.
Oh God, my Tommie boy brown eyed black/pink nose, white bib and white mitts=
baby boy is gone.
PS I made his duck soup every day since last Feb 2008 when he 1st became il=
l. He refused dry food. I would gladly continue to do that for him for hund=
reds of years to come. His last meal, he didn't want to eat. But I picked h=
im up and held him so he ate a good bit for me.
It is tearing me apart too that I was not with him at the exact moment he p=
assed. By the time I found him, he was cold and=A0very limp.
God be with Tommie Please! And if possible, please send him back to me.
TEARFULLY
Melanie
