Coke:

Da next ferret Mommy and Daddy got wuz named Coke. He wuz a sable ferret dat Mommy got from somebuddy she werked with. Dey didn’t take care of him right, so he started out reelly skinny and mean. Dey kept him locked in a cage all the time. Dey also fed him cheap cat food ‘stead of ferret food, so that’s why he wuz so skinny. He eben bit Mommy lotsa times, cuz he was so hungry! But Mommy and Daddy fixed him up, and he became a reelly fat, happy, kissy guy for a while. Den he got Insulinoma. He got reel skinny, cuz he wasn’t eating much, and Mommy couldn’t find anyone who knew what wuz goin’ on. By da time she knew it had a name, it wuz too late ta help him, and he had ta go to da Rainbow Bridge ta wait fer Mommy and Daddy.

Coke’s nicknames were: Cokie-Guy, Guy, Sweet Guy, an' Big Guy. During the winter, he had anudder nickname, but he hated that one. During winter Mommy called him Coke, the Waddling Wonder! (hee, hee!!)
