It upsets me to say but my Kaos didn’t make it. 

She died peacefully around 4:30 this afternoon – I’m not sure of the time because I’d been holding her in my arms while in the sitting room but she sounded upset, making little crying noises, so Philip took her and put her back in the drawer.  When I went to check on her just half-an-hour later, she had crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge.
She’s now playing with all my other ones at the Bridge and I just am so grateful that she didn’t suffer for any longer than she had to.  
She was a wonderfully zany little ferret – a rescue ferret from WAFFS (she was found in a cardboard box outside a vet’s surgery and handed into WAFFS), she came to us after being rejected by 3 families because she was so high maintenance.  
My good friend Lyn got her son, Ken, to bring her to our house in 2000 and when Ken let her out of the carry cage, Kaos ran around the perimeter of our sitting room several times then jumped onto the back of our German Shepherd!  The dog took off and Kaos was hanging on for dear life onto her back, like a rodeo rider!  That’s why I called her Kaos …. no other name suited her :-)
She was a character to the end and will be missed terribly by us but at least now she’s feeling no pain and is at peace.
This photo which Philip took of her in her water bowl captures the essence of that wonderfully silly little girl who was so full of love and made us all laugh with her antics  ….  I’ll miss you terribly, my little one  :-((
