Most people know who he is...some people even claim to steal him, because of his immense cuteness. A photo is required right about now to show you the overwhelming cuteness
This thread isn't about a funny thing he's done though. Hobbes Dominguez passed away today due to insulinomas. On saturday, while Ming and I were at a Magic competition, Hobbes went into a seizure, causing him to have neurological damage. This caused him to be unresponsive to the highest level of dextrose, a sugar-water solution, and continue seizing. The only thing keeping him from seizing was Valium, which kept him calm for about several hours, yet still unresponsive.
After staying overnight, the vet called us today, telling us that he was still going into seizures, and going into a lot of pain. The Vet let me come by today, despite their locked doors on sundays, to see Hobbes one last time, since I decided as best I could, to have him euthanised. For those that know me best, I am a very emotional person, and in some cases, very easily reduced to tears. This was no exception.
I wanted to share with you my experience of having Hobbes for the past six years. Since eigth grade, the little fuzzball has been my long-loving buddy, being there every moment for me. In times of saddness, holding him gave me happiness. In times of desperation, playing with him gave me hope. Now that he's gone, I don't know what it's going to be like. He's been such a great pet to me, and I miss him. I miss him with all my heart and all my soul.
Everyone just wish him a safe trip to heaven. Ming and I already know that he's going to be up there...God's expecting him, and probably is shaking his head saying "oh boy...here he comes." It's hard actually writing this...I've stopped several times already to pause and catch my breath. Just wish him for a happy life...I miss him, and I want his stay up in heaven to be as great as possible.
Thanks guys
~Mike
To remember him...here's some pictures of the little guy. I hope you can see through those little whiskers that we was something that I loved very much.
Have a good rest buddy...we all love you.
~That is all. |

Sorry to hear that dood, I know how it feels - as you well know. Ferrets are awesome lil things, so cleaver and playful ^.^ I love how they squeek and jump around when they play
You have so many groovy photos, and you have memories to treasure - there is no need to worry about the lil guy, for he is now probably doing his thing elsewhere I miss my Mushu very much, but looking back at how awesome he was, and all those little things he did, keeps a big grin on my face. |

I...heard once, about a friend I barely knew, and about how his friend had passed away. At the sight of my grandfather's lifeless body I was unable to shed a tear, but the passing of friends has always hit me hard. I sat down to write. This...is what came out.
In Memory
I suppose I can't explain some of the things that just pop into my head. One thing to the next like a coin rolling down Broadway, or a strobe light on a dance. Many are dark, many outlandish. Some are terrifying, like the beast that rears its head in daylight. Balancing that, however, like green lights to red, are the few things. The softer things, like summer moss or a lover's touch. Even in a life as mine is, overshadowed and broken, there can be hope.
Hope, which shows itself in the most astonishing circumstances. The quiet tears of a changing world. A friend, who passes with nary a breath. A coin rolling down Broadway. Altered perception, like a hymn that changes key. The world is unchanged...and yet different. New corners are in light, while others, once light, are in shadow. Calm shadow, like the basement of the house you've lived in your entire life. These are the shadows of the past, which look as though they hide uncertainty, but in reality it's the same room as it always was. That is hope.
Hope, my friends, must never die. Like caffiene after a sleepless night, hope is the saving grace of a seemingly cruel world. Even when all hope seems lost, look to the world to provide it again, in newer form, different and yet similar. A four-leaf clover in a field of dandelions. A ray of sunlight on a cloudy day. A new vision, where once was emptiness.
A coin, rolling down Broadway.
I hope it helps. |

I don't know where to start. While Hobbes was *technically* Mike's pet, he just managed to work his way into the hearts of my entire family. He was more than just a pet, he was a family member.
Mike really hit everything dead on. It's amazing to see how much joy and happiness can come from such a little guy. Just like Mike, Hobbes always seemed to be there for me when I was at my worst. When I was sad, he was always there, and he always seemed to know. I would come downstairs and as if he sensed something was wrong, he'd come out of his little hammock and pour on enough cuteness so you couldn't help but take him out and play. And when you did, you couldn't help but smile and feel your heart warm.
A couple of years ago, I had fallen and hurt my ankle very badly so that I needed surgery and was in a cast for months. I was positively miserable, but playing with little Hobbes made everything so much better and always made me happy.
It just pained me to see him degress in his condition the way that he did. What hurts the most is that you get so attached to these little guys, and when something goes wrong, you want to help them all you can, but there's so very little that you can do.
But anyway, there really isn't much more that I can say that hasn't already been said by Mike. I miss Hobbes so much, and looking at the pictures that Mike posted of him brings tears to my eyes. I know that wherever he is now, he is in a better place, romping and playing and wreaking havoc with all the other little ferrets.
Thank you all for your kind words, and all your support.

Animals have the ability to sence when there is something wrong with their owners, my cat miya does the same thing, lastnight i wasn't feeling myself, so I went straight to bed, maya knew that isn't like me because i usually stay up later, she came jumped up on my bed and nuzzled me followed by crawling up by my chin and lying her her over my neck, she stayed there for the rest of the night. ^_^

Mikey, hang in there. I know how hard it is to have asuch a loss and I'm thinking about you. I know Hobbes was a huge part of your life and if he hadn't been in it we might not have had the great friend in you that we have.
You've wonderful memories and adorable pictures to remind you of what a great little guy he was.
~hugs~ |
