Freddy de Ferret has gone to sleep.

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here.

Such a sad day today, Freddy de Ferret has been slowing down over the last month  or so and yesterday he couldn't be bothered to get out of bed. We gave him lots of cuddles and made sure he was tucked up in his favourite cuddle cup bed.

Last night he went to sleep after Old Two Legs had said a 'Good Night' to him and all the ferrets.

This morning we found that he had slipped away.

We are all sad to see him go but at the age of six or seven he had enjoyed a long life.

He came to us with his sister back in 2015 and soon settled into enjoying himself.

Always one for a joke, Freddy would pretend that he was going to spend the day sun bathing on the beach!

Pass the Factor 35 please!
Freddy was a big lad who was never into rampaging too much, rather he would enjoy a slow stroll next to OTL as we walked along the Sea Wall and up the grass path.

Hang on, not so fast!
One of his favourite tricks was to pretend he had stubbed his claw and couldn't walk any further and the only cure was a carry from OTL!

Quick nurse, the curtains, it's just too horrible to look at!
Not know for his speed, Freddy made up for it in being a gentle ferret who would always have a cuddle with anyone who wanted to make a fuss of him.

Many a young child or sceptic mother would meet Freddy on his walk and be introduced to just how soft and gentle ferrets are!

Freddy is now buried in the flower pot cuddled up to his sister and the other ferrets who have passed on.

We are all going to miss Freddy but as OTL says, 'If we get lonely, we can always go down the garden and talk to him and the others!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

  1. So very sorry to hear this news. You must all be feeling very sad. Lovely photos and write up. Daisy, I think OTL must have helped you a little bit with those lovely words? I think Freddy must have loved all those carries and cuddles and tummy tickles. He had a lovely home with all of you, try not to be too sad but I know you will miss him. Lots and lots of love from Auntie Di x x

  3. Yo maties. Well we're all very sad to hear the news about Freddy. Night, night Freddy, sweet dreams and we wish you lots of adventures with Wilma, Apri, Mr Brambles and Miss Snowflake. We'll remember you for the handsome, gentle chap that you were and miss you and the tales of your antics. A chap after my own heart, I too prefer cuddles and carries to long walks. Godwin towers was lucky to have had you live there and you brought so much fun to them and Daisy's Diary so that we could share you in a small way. We know there is a huge hole in all your hearts down there. Snuggle up together and remember those happy times and you have those beautiful pictures to look back on as well. We know that Freddy never looked back after he came to live with you all. Lots of love, licks, wags and sniffs from little Arch, my mum, my boy and the Nippers xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  5. Sad greeting my southern friends, sweet, sweet Freddy what a cuddlesome, gentle soul you were. May you sleep peacefully with your sister Wima and the other Godwin furries. What a lovely long life you've had under the loving care of OTL and TM. Not many ferrets have the chance of a daily walk on the beach searching for Nargles or travelling to the beaches of Scotland looking for the elusive Haggis Nargle. Lots of love from Izzy, Hamish, the Hooligans and our Mum & Dad xxxxxxx

  6. How very sad to say goodbye to your little gentle giant and what a lovely choice of pictures as a memorial to him. He is in a happy place with his friends and sister such a sad day only made less so because OTL and TM knew it was going to happen soon. Still six kisses tonight, the big one for Freddy Xxxxxx

  7. Oh what a lovely post of such a sad thing, you have made me cry it is so touching written. I am so grateful that your dear furry friend made his finial journey on his own, without the aid of the vet. Sleep well dear Freddie and a big hug to mum and dad xx
