Nah, people will get pissed off with me filling the thread with pics. I don't want to turn an established thread into the Seamus thread.

I need to get a video though, you're right. Thanks for reminding me

Here's my little Glen who will be 4 in a month. Poor Glennis has lost his top teeth so I now have to make his food into a paste and give him water with a little syringe. He was very brave at the vets today, now we just have to hope his teeth grow back - the water thing is not ideal as it means he has to spend all day with no access to water if me and Mr Keithy are both out


Here he is, showing his age!

And the thumbnail below is our new little Hammy, Cosmo who is settling in and is just incredibly cute and funny.

My poor big old Loki has died. Very old, very ill. I came home and he was breathing hard and immobilised I gave him some water through a syringe and he just let go. Stop breathing two minutes later his heart stopped. He didn't die alone. We took him out for a car ride at the weekend and he enjoyed poking his head out of the window for a short while at least. Lovely ferret. I think he had a hard life before he came to us three years ago.

This is my favourite picture of him. I'm holding him, this is where he died in arms today:


Here he is in better days as part of a heap of friends (he's the big fat one on his back). They will all miss him especially Flapjack whom he is lying on here. Flapjack can get quite distraut just being separated from him. He was his favourite snuggle buddy.

Sorry, Knotted Sounds like his last few days were good, and you did everything you could for him.
Hope Flapjack's ok.

 

[Knotted]

Thanks, I know it's a bit of downer bringing it up. But I mentioned him earlier and thought it would be wrong to not mention he'd passed on.

 

[moose]

Not at all... plenty of people share the loss of their pet here.

 

[keithy]

Aww sorry to hear the sad news,Knotted x

 

[Dovydaitis]

poor Loki but as others have said he had a loving home, lots of friends and died surrounded by love. Hope flapjack, and all of you are ok

What will he grow into Firky?

I thought that said 'When will he grow into Firky?'

Bet you've never made so many women squeal so hard in one go, Firks.

Very sorry to hear that knotted RIP Loki

One of the sad things is that towards the end I separated him from the others as they were smothering him at the bottom of their heaps and he was overheating and having trouble breathing. I had him next to my bed at night (I needed to hand feed him every few hours) and on Friday he decided to try and make his own way over to their room. He only had one properly functioning leg at that point so it was a heave-flop motion. They're very social animals at least within their cliques. He really wanted to be with the gang. I made sure he got plenty of time with them at least when I could monitor him also I made sure that they've all seen his body.

 

[red rose]

It sounds like you gave him the best possible care and made him as comfortable and happy as possible when he was ill. He was very lucky to have you.

Have a boring video of a cat chasing a red dot

We're going to be running a ferret stall at the London Pet Show at Earls Court this Saturday.

Squirmy bastards

RIP Loki

Happy birthday Malcolm! I love the little case that Griff is cozying up in

I think Tigger needs a birthday.

 

[existentialist]

A Tigger, up close and personal. He's sitting on top of the duvet, on Mrs E's knees: he likes it there. And he finds cameraphones ver' interesting!

 

[Dovydaitis]

All pets need a birthday so hoppy birthday tigger

I went to Ikea this week and came home with one of those giant Ikea bags.

Schrodes is now the happiest cat in the world and has basically taken to living in it

 

[Firky]

Every time I have a bath he wants in with me. Which isn't exactly practical - besides which the water is so hot he'd have a heart attack. So to stop him scrambling up the side of the bath and trying to get in with me I have started putting him in the sink and he just sits and watches me with a cocked head.

SQUEEEEEE lizzieloo
