You all pretty much know about Booth already. So I'll make it short, as I can't write in details without sobbing.
Had him nearly 3 years. He was 3 1/2 years old.
When we enter the vet, we learn the blue splotch on his tummy that appeared just two days ago, and only two days after we got a good bill of health from the vet...was his spleen. It was very large. It was definitely his time between his spleen, fatigue, hind leg weakness, and the tumors around his heart.
We were there with him when they gave him the injection. He was eating some ferret lax since my guys love that more than 'tone. And he got real sleepy, yawned a couple times. Then laid his head and front paws in daddy's hand.
It only took about 20 seconds before he lost brain function. And under 2 minutes until his heart stopped beating. We kept talking and petting him until the vet came in to say he was gone.
It was peaceful.
We brought him home. Surprisingly, Riley licked his ear and that was it. Loki and Lincoln just sniffed him then were done. But Bonkers...Bonkers broke our hearts.
She sniffed him, nudged his head, his front paws, back paws, groomed him, and then nudged his head even harder. She turned around and looked at me, which then I picked her up, and she curled up in my arms.
Now that we are home again (we returned Booth for cremation), the ferrets are very upset. All are breathing heavy and just look solemn. Kind of how we feel right now.
Booth had a wonderful life. I just wish he had a longer one. But he went with us there, and peacefully. We held it together until his brain function was gone. But after that...that's all we could take.
So, we will get his ashes within the next week, and I'll be giving my guys RR for the next 3 days to a week. I'm hoping since there are 4 of them left, it won't be as bad as if there had only been 2.
Booth...I miss you so much bud. You were my best friend. The best pet ANYone could have. I won't forget you. And I'll see you when it's time. Play with Tay while you're up there. Keep each other company.
I love you baby boy. My sweet, handsome baby boy. <3
