A moment of silence, please, for Chloe, my first and best ferret, who died yesterday in Pennsylvania, where she had been residing since July. Chloe was a kind soul who, unlike her adopted sisters, was not prone to biting and creating general havoc. Chloe enjoyed Ferretone and bouncing around rooms, thrashing her head about and pretending to be vicious (a condition referred to by my mother as "hyper-ferretosis."). She was also the only ferret I ever knew who enjoyed riding on human shoulders. She would happily hang out on a shoulder for extended periods of time, especially when the shoulder was attached to a human who was walking around. Chloe is survived by her adopted sister, Dali, with whom she lived. Chloe was 7 years and 4 months old.
