rorqualI am sorry to have to announce the passing of Butters, a very good ferret. He was almost five.
He'd had surgery for a gall bladder tumor last week, and due to complications, had a second surgery today. It's complicated to explain, but the surgeon said that the problems he still had, could not be fixed, so I decided it would be best to not wake him up. He'd actually had a very good week after the first surgery; he was recovering nicely, eating his food and being very curious and perky, and was even toddling about and hiding his toys (with some assistance from me); so that was good. It was simply not to be.
Otto is doing fine, though he seems a bit lonely. I'm sure he will now be a very spoiled single ferret.
Goodbye Butters. I miss you very much.
