"Oliver"

by Lindy Russell

The moment I saw Oliver I knew that me and him had this bond. Call me crazy, but this ferret made me so happy. I've had so many animals growing up, as well as the ones I have now, but he was my bestfriend. He had so many health issues since the day I bought him, plus he was deaf, but I tried to help him pull through, but nothing worked. Despite always being sick, he was so happy. He would run around and chase my cat, play with the dogs, play hide and go seek with me, and then would cuddle with me for hours. Everyone always said how they couldn't believe how calm he was. How he would just sit there in your hand and let you hold forever. He was like my child, I would have done anything for him. Yesterday, at the age of 7 months he passed on. My boyfriend woke me up telling me he was gone, and I couldn't stop crying, and I still can't. Why? Why did he have to go so soon? I thought he'd live a happy life with me, and I feel like I could have done more, but I don't know how. I love him so much, and I'll never forget the feeling he gave me. RIP Oliver "Ollie" I LOVE YOU!
