Alibi.

Yesterday, Alibi -- my pandora ferret, approximately ten years old, which is insanely old for a ferret of any type -- passed away. It wasn't entirely unexpected; she was old. It wasn't entirely expected; she was healthy, and seemed happy right up until she went.

Ever get the feeling the gods are telling you something?

I'm so sorry. I'm glad she didn't suffer.

[cadhla]

She was very happy. And that's a good thing.

[copperwise]

It is. And what the gods may be telling you is, you're a good human for creatures to live long and happy lives with, beginning to end. That's something to be proud of.

*hugs* I'm so sorry for your loss.

[cadhla]

Thank you.

rest in peace alibi. take care of yourself! even if it was timely and she lived a long good life, there is still the sadness of letting go.

[cadhla]

There always is.

That it's a time of change, and that the world continues onwards, whatever we might wish? Yeah, I know that feeling.

*hug* Find some good in the day. I can see it there, waiting for you to notice it.

I hope you're right. This week -- hell, this winter -- is making me want to curl up under my blanket and cry until the sun comes back.

*hug* It strikes me as a good thing that she was happy right up until the end. It's the way I would choose to go - live a long, happy, healthy life, and then leave when it's time.

Even if it sucks for those who love me.

It's a hard winter period. I'm sorry it's being especially hard on you.

My condolences.

[cadhla]

Thank you.
