Chaos (10/15/1998 - 12/13/2005)

Chaos is my little dark sable girl. She was surrendered to me along with her sister Justice. Unfortunately, Justice was very sick and died shortly after coming to me. I miss her dearly. Chaos was my foster, and I had no intentions on keeping her. But the shelter mom asked if I could keep her since she could not adjust to shelter life. Of course, I accepted this little girl into my heart and home, and it has been a blessing from the first moment.

I am so ashamed that I ever hesitated in taking Chaos into my care. At first, I wasn't ready to have another ferret. But I knew I couldn't let her live in the shelter when she had grown to love me so much. When I brought her home, she was so scrawny and little, but that didn't stop her from beating up Roly and letting him know who's boss. Now, she rules the roost, and all my ferrets absolutely love her. She's still scrawny and little, but that seems to be metabolism more than malnourishment from her previous owner. She is the sweetest, most energetic ferret, and she is the geriatric of my crew. She can get into more trouble than any of my other ferrets. She constantly climbs everything, and if I would let her, she would eat a whole tube of laxotone.

Chaos is an explorer and the only ferret who has escaped from my house. She walked out the door when my ex-boyfriend was outside smoking. I didn't realize she had left until I was putting all the other ferrets up. When I realized she couldn't be in the house, I felt so desperate. I actually looked at my ex-boyfriend's cat and asked for help. Well, the cat ran to the front door. When I opened it, in walked Chaos. I scooped her up and hugged her tightly. I was so happy nothing had happened to her. But more than that, I couldn't believe that she had actually come back on her own. I had only heard of rare stories where the ferret was able to find his/her way home. I guess she really does love me.

I am ashamed that I had any doubts about Chaos. When I was alone on New Years for 2004, Chaos was the one who gave me my New Year's kiss. She woke me up, and I realized how lucky I was to have her. We found each other and I couldn't be happier with my dark little girl. Her energy and fiest make me laugh. I'm so glad that I was able to save her since I couldn't save her sister. But actually, I think my ferrets are always the ones that save me.

My Chaos passed unexpectedly on December 13. She had just started a Lupron treatment to help with her adrenal disease. The disease got the best of her. She died during playtime, undoubtedly continuing her play with Roly and Justice, reunited after much time apart. I will always miss my dark little wonder.
