Yesterday we helped Sly over the bridge. We finally knew it was time. I don't know if I can write a little novel about him, because there has been so many great things I could say - I think you all would be dead the time you finished reading it.
I found it extremely easy to let him go, In fact I brought him in 2 hours early since he was so far gone. From when I woke up in the morning, from when I came home - he looked so bad. I feel extremely guilty that I didn't do it sooner.
On monday night, he fell out of bed and broke his nose.. this didn't help his breathing.. I feel awful for not moving his bed, but I thought "oh i'll do it in a bit" but really... that 'bit' was too long, and he got really hurt because of it.
I will finally put up pictures of him, Since none of you have met him yet. I was looking through my camera and saw so many great ones that I could share with you all. Problem is, I'm leaving tomorrow morning and I don't have time to load them on the computer and show you all until I come back.
I caught a few good video's of him playing and dooking.. I'll try putting them up too.
I don't really know what I can say about Sly Bandit except that he was an amazing ferret, and the best first ferret. He had the biggest heart in the world and would make sure you knew it! Everyone that met him, loved him, as he would dook around and war dance.
No matter what type of mood you were in, he would make sure you were happy and smiling afterwards.
He loved stashing food, and even yesterday, when he had a broken nose, and his back legs gave out - he picked up chloe pork ribs and tried stashing them.. He was stubborn in the fact that I sat there holding the pork, waiting for him to let go so I could put it away for 25 mins.. Until finally, he decided it wasn't worth his time to fight me, but instead come cuddle me. So he let go, and come to my chest and went to bed.
I kept going back to videos when he was happy and healthy, and all I could do was laugh at all the funny positions he slept in, and mid-jump war dance poses, and how he would always come to the camera to check it out.
Last night, while I was watching tv, and talking to my girlfriend - We heard a loud bang (about 3 hours after he left us) I went to check out what it was, since it sounded like someone banging on the walls - I went into the bathroom, and saw our shampoo container was on the ground, rolling back and forth...
This make my heart sing, because sly would always push around the shampoo containers and lap up water. I think he came to say that he was okay, and now he is back to being a butt - throwing around my stuff.
I also heard one of the toys that I would push around trying to get his attention... and two of his breaths...
I really am hoping that he sticks around...so I can hear him run around and destroy my carpet. (Mike said he doesn't mind him sticking around.. but if he sees any poop 'magically' appear.. he will know it's sly trying to urine him off, and play his games. hah)
I wish you all got to meet him, as he was quite a character, and was very funny but for now, you will have to wait.
Lots of love,
Karlee and Sly Bandit.
