Sugar Magnolia
This is Sugar Magnolia. Sugar was the second of our little babies that we brought home. I remember when we finally got her to the house, we only had one cage to keep them in, and well, China was not a happy camper. Finally after a couple of days, there mamaw went and bought another cage. So, we had Sugar in the smaller cage for a couple of weeks, and China in the big cage, until they got use to each other. After that, they were inseperable. You could tell they truely loved each other. Sugar was a true albino ferret, and a big one at that. Some of Sugars favorite things to do was, steal empty cigerette packs, sneak in potato chip bags when we wasnt looking, and nip at your feet. She was the biggest of the three girls,and i always said she was a tomboy. She loved going outside and rolling in the dirt. She was definatly a clown, i got tickled at her so much. Sugar ended up getting adrenal gland cancer. Unfortanatly, we did not know that until she was in the later stages of it. She kept kickin' though, and never showed signs of being sick. But we knew once she lost all of her hair, there was something wrong. Sugar was the first of our baby girls to go to Heaven. I miss you Sugar Bougar, and love you dearly.

Sugar Magnolia, blossoms blooming, Heads
all empty and I don't care. Saw my baby down by the river Knew she'd have
to come up soon for air. Sweet blossom, come on under the willow, We can have
high times if you'll abide. We can discover the wonders of nature, Wading
in the rushes down by the riverside. She's got everything delightful, She's
got everything I need, Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double, Pays my ticket
when I speed. She comes skimming through rays of violet, She can wade in a
drop of dew, She don't come and I don't follow, Waits backstage while I sing
to you. She can dance a Cajun rhythm, Jump like a Willys in four wheel drive,
She's a summer love in the spring, fall and winter, She can make happy any
man alive. Sugar Magnolia, Ringing that bluebell, Caught up in sunlight. Come
on out singing and I'll walk you in the sunshine, Come on honey, come along
with me. She's got everything delightful, She's got everything I need, A breeze
in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight, Lazing in the sunlight, yes
indeed. Sometimes when the cuckoo's crying, When the moon is half way down,
Sometimes when the night is dying, I take me out and I wander around, I wander
round. Sunshine Daydream, Sunshine daydream, Walking in the tall trees, Going
where the wind goes, Blooming like a red rose, Breathing more freely, Ride
out singing, I'll walk you in the morning sunshine. Sunshine daydream, Sunshine
daydream, Walking in the sunshine.
