We lost both of our boys to this terrible disease. It was so hard to watch them decline, but we made the decision to help them and not let them suffer, hardest thing I have ever had to do. I still remember my little Loki's last breath........ We lost them about three months apart in 2018 and it still hurts today. DIP Newt, hopefully you are dooking away with Loki and Thor at the rainbow bridge!

43 year old man weeping like a baby over this, so much so that I've paused and resumed the video twice and still haven't made it to the end cause I keep getting choked up. Beautiful ferret, beautiful video tribute. I love how you highlighted newt's life and told the stories about his name and where he used to dig. I've got two male ferrets and one of them is sick right now, and watching this just makes me appreciate my boys even more. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

We lost our little Arya last week after a series of strokes. We also had to syringe feed her, help teach her to walk and get water, and bathe her. We tried so hard to keep her with us. She passed peacefully in her sleep, snuggling in bed. Thank you for making this video. It was immensely comforting. I am sorry for your loss.

[@Lizziexox0]

This video touched me in more ways than I can explain. Today is my ferret Sam’s second birthday. He lost his fight with lymphoma in May 2020, shortly after he turned one. The impact he made on my heart will last forever, and this video perfectly incapsulated the beautiful and wondrous spirit that ferrets embody. I hope Sam and Newt are up in heaven together, that there is endless adventures for them there, and when it’s our time to cross the bridge too, that they will be waiting for us on the other side. DIP Newt ❤️

[@TheModernFerret]

Thank you so much for the kind words, I hope Sam and Newt are there too 💙

This is such a beautiful tribute to the life of little Newt. He reminds me of my little Charlie, who is also a thrill seeker (jumping off the balcony, needing to open every closet door)... Such short little lives with such big personalities that leave such a huge hole in our heart. May Newt Dook in Peace free from any pain and surrounded by all our beloved, departed furriends.

[@TheModernFerret]

Such sweet little thrill seekers, thank you💙

[@johnriise9506]

Thank You so much ! My wife and I have had Ferrets --- like for ever. a year ago January our Andy wasn't doing well, we took him to his Vet in Menden NV, he said Andy had cancer , he removed Andy's cancer, what a relief. three months later the cancer came back, really bad, Andy was a few weeks short of being seven, we rescued him when he was four months old from a very Bad life. in 2013. Andy had his own room. Then we herd about another Ferret that had another bad life also, We drove four hours on way to pick him up, his name was Otter, he was two months younger than Andy. They were the best bud's, they did every thing together.. When we brought Andy's lifeless body home, we showed him to Otter. Otter laid down with Andy. From then on Otter just moped around the house, . In June we took otter to his vet ---- he said Otter didn't have long to live, he had came down with a lot of failures, Andy and Otter are together now. No more Ferrets for now, it hurts to much. My wife and I are 77 years young, We miss Andy and Otter very much, a day dosen't go by we don't think of them, Ferrets can really steal your Heart. The Bible say when we die we are dead, and we are waiting for resurrection. (Acts 24:15 New World Translation; A real hope of being reunited with our dead loved ones John 5:28,29 I am hoping we will also see our Ferrets in the now world. (all of them Andy, Otter, Tinkerbell, Draco, Pixie, Bob, and Sandy). I want to thank you for you time to make you video, it was very well done. You are to be commended !

[@lorid3299]

[@americanmomma7674]

My girl Alice looks exactly like Newt. She also jumped off our patio when she was only 7 months old. And she also landed on grass and wasn’t phased in the least. I think it made her even braver because she is totally fearless. She loves to steal stuff, especially the mat in front of our cat LeeLee’s dish. She also shows no remorse when caught. All she has to do is look at me with those big dark eyes and jump around, inviting me to play, and all misdeeds are forgotten. You must be so sad to have lost your Newt. My heart breaks for you because I know the hardest thing is to see our fur babies suffer. I don’t understand why not help him go to heaven sooner before he had to suffer so many painful seizures. But I’m sure you did the best you could to help you little boy. Prayers for you and for Newt. He is pain free now and jumping around rainbow bridge with all his new friends.

[@plasticksrt]

As a current father of 4 ferrets who has lost two ferrets and a dog all within 30 days, I 100% absolutely feel your grief. I’m so sorry for your loss of Newt. He touched both your lives in ways you will never forget, and when the time comes for you to transcend the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God, you will see him once again, running free and happy as can be to see you. My four year old baby Comet went in a similar way, but it was IBD. I watched helplessly as he bled to death from the inside. He passed away in my arms. I held him for his last breaths and he wasn’t alone. I’m so glad you two could be there for Newt in his last moments as well. That’s so important. Please take care of yourself and know that Newt had the best life possible. You were absolutely put on this earth to care for these precious and amazing creatures. Sending love!

It's never easy to say goodbye to these little guys. I always say they find a way to crawl into out heart, and when they leave they take a piece with them. That wound will always be there, but eventually will heal over and leave a scar. Their own personal scar. I've got 8 of them currently criss-crossing my heart. They fill our lives with such a big amount of love, it's hard to believe such a small animal that lives generally for such a short time can give that much love to a person. ❤

[@toniwechsler6065]

Dear Haley and Channing, I am so sorry for your loss of precious little Newt. I have been where you are with caring for a terminally ill pet and having to say good-bye. It is a gut-wrenching experience, all the more because, as you said, nursing a sick animal creates an even stronger bond with them. I empathize with the grief you are feeling and my heart and prayers go out to you - and to Moose and Albert. They must also be feeling the loss of their companion and brother. 😢 I hope that you can all bring comfort to each other in sharing the love and good memories you all have of Newt. I know it may not feel comforting just now, but please remember that however short Newt's life may have been, you made it the best life it could have been, and you were there for him to help him pass from this world knowing he was greatly loved. He has crossed the rainbow bridge now and is free of pain and back to his old tricks. I know you will all be reunited someday. I would only put it to you that these little animals's lives are not small just because their stature is. They are as large as the love and joy they inspire, and Newt brought a lot of joy not only the you, but to all the viewers of your videos. He will live on in those videos and in all of our memories. And as hard as it has been and is, as your courageous and beautiful video attests to, and as heartbroken as you feel now, remember that, as C.S.Lewis said: "The pain now is part of the happiness then". It's still worth going through the grief to be graced by having these precious little souls in our lives. God bless you and little Newt.

It seems I am years late commenting, but thank you for sharing this!!! There really is way to little done towards honoring the wonderful gift these amazing little creatures are! Thank you! You're a wonderful person for sharing your journey. I've had five ferrets. I started believing after the first one that if you can care for them, give them ALOT of time, never cage them, its a responsibility to keep raising them, keep saving them. And the reward is amazing. They are the absolute best. My first ferret lived to just under 10 years old. I'm now 41yrs I've buried 3 ferrets, each one my best friend, and now have two. And they are the smallest most wonderful furry gifts on this planet. It makes me happy to my core that people so in tune with, and so caring for animals are out there doing awesomeness! You rock!!!!

[@siobhanhenry9094]

I had a cat I called my son, he was 6 years old when he got kidney disease and medications and diet weren't slowing it enough. I lost him while he was at the vet overnight and I could have ripped the whole world open to bring him back to me. Everytime life is hard all I wish is that my baby boy was still with me to make his little chirps and jump on the kitchen bench. Animals lives are not just important they are everything. our souls reach out to theirs and theirs to ours and we become entangled in a bond that feels like being ripped apart if or when it is ever broken.

I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a member of your family is devastating. But try to remember he will always be with you. In your memories and in your heart. I always try to think that our lives are so much richer by having these creatures in our lives and in our hearts and this is the price we have to pay for all the joy and love they bring us. And I have never regretted it. I’m shedding tears and trying to enjoy every day I have with my ferret because I know the time is limited. But I would not trade it for anything. Your tribute to Newt was wonderful. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@katherinebarich3192]

What a sweet tribute to your Newt. We have 2 stories that bring us comfort when one of our fuzzies passed over. One was our vision of our eventual crossing over and a rolling carpet of ferrets running straight for us to welcome us home. The other, is a little silly, because it is an insight from a comedian, George Carlin. He says that pet stores should have a sign by the pets saying "this will end badly". But that's the sacrifice we make to have their love, for however short a time it is. Thank you to for your final message. I needed to hear this today.

[@khirastielper2867]

We lost our ferret today. I watched this a few days ago and it really touched me. Who would of thought a creature so small could touch our hearts like this. He lit up our world and now he's gone on this cold snowy day. Dook in peace little man. You will forever be in our hearts.
