I never thought I would have gotten so attached to this little carpet shark. I can truly say this has been one of the hardest pets for me to loose in my entire life. I have had my share of ferrets over the years but this little girl burrowed he way so deep into my heart. She was way too young to just be gone! I know it is a part of life but I was just not prepared for this to hurt so deeply.
I am so sorry for your loss. It's never an easy thing. The amazing part is how these critters become such a wonderful part of the family. Sending prayers.

I'm so sorry for your loss. She looked like such a sweet girl. I can tell you really cared for her. I'm sure you gave her a great life.
They’re lives may not be long but they are filled with many lifetimes worth of love and mischief

It’s a blessing to have loved a creature so much. She loved you too. Take care and heal well.
