Death

Our old fat ferret is dying. Otaku is eight or nine years old. For a ferret that's like being over a hundred. He's had cancer for a while and he's been sleeping more and more, but he's been happy and willing to make trouble especially when he has a had a bath. He was up and about yesterday and scrambling around the office doing ferret things. Today when I picked him up to cuddle him, all his feet were cold and he would hardly wake up even for a bath. We had to hold is head up for him to keep it out of the water for most of the bath, and he didn't get riled up to dry off. If he makes it though night we're going to take him to the vet tomorrow for a peaceful goodbye. He's had a very good life, but I'm not going to lie I'm still crying.
