Today was a total bust
I've been worried about my ferret all day had to bring her to the vet today and ive been taking care of her all day and to make things worse my cold isnt getting any better

Walking on your toes on the way home..haha, sounds fun. I hope everything's OK with your ferret, and I hope you feel better too!

[Jason Pollard]

Thank you but unfortunatly she passed away from cancer. So the past few days have been weird.

light work-outs
no specifics because i cant remember them
I still grieve for her every now and then but im starting to get better because she will alway be in my heart so ive decided to get back into my training again and to become stronger and better for her

[Rebecca Myers]

I know how you feel. We had to put two dogs and a cat down before, the first dog from Lymphoma. I'm sorry for your loss, Jason.
