China Doll

This was our first baby, her name is China Doll, or as her gramma would call her, China Sue. She was a gift to my husband for his birthday, and was our very first ferret. China was a blessing to us. She was a loner for a few months, until we felt sorry for her, and we had to get her a playmate. Some of China's favorite things was hiding and sleeping under the couch, playing go fish with a little toy in her water bowl, and playing in her daddys hair. She loved to hear her daddy play the flute, and would always crawl all over him while he played. She was a beautiful little Sable ferret, and was oh so delicate. She was one of those little girls that you was afraid to pick up, thinking she would break. Her name fit her perfectly. She loved her little baby sisters, she got to meet one of her brothers before she passed on. China's illness hit very quickly, and we wasnt for sure what had happened. We made many trips to the vet trying to get her better, but the outcome was no good. She had a complete system breakdown, which started with a stroke, then after that, her kidneys went. There was no cure. She was the second of the Three Muskateers to go. We hold a very special place in our heart for you, and will always love and miss you!

To my lil Sissy, Mommy misses you every day still.

I will see you again one day, and i'll be bringing cookies!

I Love You!

A pistol shot at five o'clock, The bells of heaven ring. Tell me what you done it for. No I won't tell you a thing. Yesterday I begged you, Before I hit the ground, All I leave behind me, Is only what I found. If you can abide it, Let the hurdy gurdy play. Stranger ones have come by here, Before they flew away. I will not condemn you, Nor yet would I deny. I would ask the same of you, But failing, will not die. Pick up your China Doll,Pick up you China Doll, It's only fractured, Just a little nervous from the fall. La la la la la la la Words and Music by: Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia
