Hello all I never thought I'd ever post something like this but I feel the need. Our family pet has passed today after a lengthy illness. Arvie was a ferret, but no ordinary ferret. I taught her to do many things as if she were a dog. My family is saddened. I never thought I'd get attached to an animal. As luck would have it, she attached to me. It was weird as I never had pets as a kid. Six years wasn't long enough with her. We took her on family trips, and biked with her in a special basket. She had a slip and slide next to our pool and enjoyed family time pool side. She was always the life of the party with our backyard BBQs, and stole the show. I never thought I'd be so sad with her passing. She's buried near our patio so we can remember her. My son and I built a memorial where she rests. We need to add some rocks in place of our make shift bricks. It helped us say goodbye. Thanks for reading. Pete RIP Arvie image-251719464.jpg

Pete... I feel your sadness, and sorry to learn of your loss of Arvie. This is the only downside of owning a pet.

Sorry for your loss Pete, losing a pet always leaves a hole in your heart. Indeed the one very sad side of owning a pet that we all face someday. I've always thought that cherishing the memories of the beloved pet and getting another one soon to fill in the void is what helps the most.

Pete - I'm very sorry for your loss. What a great life you gave her! And vice versa.

Thank you Ivan, PHC1 and Marc for your kind words. I don't think I'm cut out for pets. I don't think I can get attached to another pet and then outlive another furry creature.
I mean, I knew she wouldn't last forever when my my wife sold me on getting a small pet for my kid. I didn't bargain on her taking to me and becoming the little friend who greeted me on the way out the door and then again when I came home. I taught her some cool stuff. When she was passing she tried to respond to my voice. It was tough to go through that. My wife is the animal person. She says she's done too. It's too painful. Thanks again. Pete.

I know exactly how you feel, but 6 months after my cat died in 2014, I rescued another cat and she is completely different but super sweet and lovable. I found that although she wasn't a "replacement", she gives me joy every day.
At some point you may feel differently. Let it all happen naturally in time.

I'm sorry to hear of Arvie's passing. A pet is really a member of the family.
