Wiley was a sweet little Blaze Mitt ferret boy, that came to us after being with a friend
of ours for a few days.
When he got here, he was used to eating 1 or 2 large marshmallows every day,
which was taking a toll on him. After getting him over to a solid ferret diet,cutting
out the sweets, he became more active and so full of life.
As he got older and the cataracts that took his vision, he was so funny to watch
when he tried to find some treat he really wanted. He would sway his head back
and forth like Stevie Wonder when he sings. He would always find the object of his
affection and then gobble it down and want more.
He was diagnosed with Lymphosarcoma and Lymphoid Leukemia on April 10,
2003, and succumbed to it on March 9, 2006, almost 3 years later. When first
diagnosed with these diseases, he was given 2 months to live, but outlived that
prognosis many times over.
It wasn't until a week and a half before he left us that he really started showing
signs of the disease and became uncomfortable. We took him to the vet and
sought medical attention for his needs and got him on pain medication which
he received 2 to 3 times a day.
On the morning he went to the bridge, he slept with his human Mommy and Daddy
and went peacefully as he slept.
He joined his brudders & sisters already at the bridge, Bear, Bonnie, Boozer,
Clyde, Dharma, Sage, StinkMan & Tweeky at 6:00 AM PT, March 9, 2006.
He is missed terribly and we send our love to him each and everyday.
Fly High Our Precious Love, Be Free, We'll see you before you know it and we'll always
hold you in our hearts!
Love Always,
Mom & Dad

I loved that story, for some reason it did not make me want to weap like I usually do. The story was well told and cute, as cute as Wiley. Your mommy will miss you so very much and all that knew you. What a sweet heart I wish I could have known you. Yes, go in Peace and play at the bridge with your siblings and friends to come.
Jo: Thank you so much for putting this up for us and Wiley.
Ccero: Wiley was a true blessing and we are so thankful that his last years were spent with us. He was so sweet and loving and what I miss the most is snuggling with him and singing to him, his favorite songs were Goodnight Sweetheart and You Are My Sunshine. He comforted us when we were sad and made us laugh at his antics.
I will be creating a memorial for him that will have some of his favorite toys, pictures of him and several poems.
I have tried contacting his previous owner to let him know that Wiley has passed, but so far, he hasn't returned my phone calls.
