This photo was taken with my camera phone at the beginning of last month. This really hurts to talk about and even type what I am about to say. It pains me to the bottom of my heart to even think about it. This is my ferret Kale. My best friend and companion. Friday April 20th she had escaped her cage and wandered into the dog pen several feet from the house, which holds our German shepherd and artic wolf/husky hybrid. My father found her dead. But he did not tell me. He told my mother when she arrived home from work for her to tell me. He said he couldn't bear to hurt me. When she told me I felt like someone had punched me. They were not sure which ferret it was for there are two more, Tyler and Toby. I ran upstairs and out onto the back porch to find out. When I realized it was her I screamed and screamed and screamed. I have never been so hurt in my life. I completely lost it. I never knew your heart could hurt so much. I've never reacted this badly to losing a pet. She was my world, my everything. I'm still in mourning and the pain is still there. I'm even crying as I write this tragedy. I really don't care what you think of me. How could I have such a fit over an animal? You don't have to understand but I want you to know. To know her. To know her Name. For the animal lovers who read this I know you understand my pain and the loss of a furry loved one. Her name is Kale and I want her memory to live on.
That is a very good picture, (especially for a cell cam). I am very sorry as I read this; I have seven weasels and I'd no doubt feel the same way if I lost any one of them. It pains me to even think about it. Kale looks so cute, too. Take care of Tyler and Toby; I wish them long, healthy lives.
This reminds me of when my pet turtle Archimedes passed. I cried for about a week Losing a pet is like losing a relative or close friend, especially one you've had for a long time. I feel for you.

Thank you it is comforting when a fellow pet owner understands the pain. I'm also sorry for your loss. We have such a close bond with our pets and it's hard to go on without them. Thanks again.

I love ferrets, and I can't believe they killed yours. I swear, if anything killed my ferret, I'd gut it alive, if it was an animal(I would never kill an animal)
See, I'm very close to my ferret too...it's kind of a long story...Ya know those Jak and Daxter games? Well, ya know Daxter? I always thought ottsels were real, but I felt awful when I found out they were just made-up(They're an otter-weasel hybrid)
But anyway, I ran a search for ottsel fanart and found one that that...I just can't explain it. It was on FanartCentral, the ottsel's name was Jexith. He was blue. I just...I can't explain how I felt. I wanted him as a pet.(Search Jex on a lonely starry night on Fanart Central.net, you'll find him)
I just...I don't know, I just loved that ottsel so much. It may have been the eyes, or just how sad he looked.
But anyway, I got a ferret about a year later and named him Jex...to me, he's like the real Jex The Blue Ottsel. And guess what? After learning a bit more about ferrets, I discovered something amazing; They are weasels, and they are close relatives of the otter family. It's not a true hybrid of course, but they DO have otter in them(just look at their somewhat-webbed feet, their faces). So since they are weasels and have otter in them...Guess what? Ferrets are ottsels. Real, live ottsels. I loved Jex like 10X more after learning this. It's like I really DID have Jex The Blue Ottsel with me. He may not be blue, but it's still him, you know what I mean?
So anyway, I understand how close you can become to an animal, and how much it must hurt to have it torn away. He's only 2 years old, and even though it's probably many years away, I dread the day Jex dies. He's truly my best friend.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
