Condolence for a Cute Little Fellow

It is sad when you lose a pet. I lost my cat Isis back in May 2009. Now I have witnessed through a Twitter feed the passing of a different kind of pet.

How sad! He was a cute little fellow. It is hard to imagine him separated from his friend Amy. It was an image of Amy holding him in one hand that helped get her into the reality show Strip Search. In the drawings of Amy by the other contestants it was a rare one that did not have her little friend.

However, the little guy got a tumor in his tail, which had to be removed. During surgery he passed away.

Let us take a moment to quietly reflect on the life of Tuukka the little white ferret, beloved pet of Web cartoonist Amy Falcone, for whom I have the deepest condolence.
