Paco aka Joey
Joey has a new home as of July 11, 2002.
Joey earned his Wings on July 12, 2005
Paco, now known as Joey, went to Bloomfield, NY with her momster after having been dumped at Lolly Pop
Farm. Lolly Pop called us here at the Lakeroad Ferret Farm to come get him. We went to go get the little
bugger of 9 months old, stopped in to see Deb and the rest is history! He is now loving life in
Bloomfield.
Update July 11, 2005
Well, we brought him home-alive. Talked to Doc, talked to Mary, but it came down to the fact that when
we took him outside and put him down, he tried to get around. He was alert, responding and totally a
different ferret than Saturday. It may be tomorrow, next week, next month, he's still going to have to
cross the bridge some time soon, but at least he gets to be home again, and with his brother and
cousins. I cut a towel in a strip to help him walk, and am going to find the ferret magazine that had
the story about the cart in it, and we'll see. We cried our eyes out trying to figure out what to do.
If he had been like he was Saturday, I would have put him down in a second, but he's trying so we're
going to try to. I hate this. Good luck with your seven, D

I've had Kodi and Joe up to Doc's a lot lately, this morning was Joe's turn. He hurt his knee a couple
of weeks ago and had an enlarged spleen. We thought we had them fixed but he's gotten really bad this
week so ran him back up. Doc ran all the normal blood tests and they came back normal so did an
x-ray.
He found something none of us expected, Joe has bone cancer in his left side of his pelvis. Obviously,
not good. Doc's trying steroids over the weekend and may be bringing him home for a while, but he
doesn't have long to live. If the drugs don't make him comfortable, we'll put him down. I don't want
another week like this last one, he hurts. Thought you would like to know as he came from you. Sam I Am so far is ok.
