@@TheModernFerret I know how you feel.... my ferret Ping she died when she was only 11 months old when she died.... I miss her so much Maybe Newt and Ping are in heaven playing together in heaven 😇
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.
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 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!
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.
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 ❤️
So sorry to hear about your loss :( We lost our fuzzy, Siri, in November to lymphoma and 2 months later, we lost our boy, Rupert to cancer. It has been tough to deal with,, but I can only hope they are all playing together over the rainbow bridge
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 !
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.
Sorry about newt :( I lost my Smokey last Monday. Turns out he had cancer for months, and he was only two and a half. I took him in when he was 2 months because a friend on my hockey team had bought him and was in trouble with residence life at the time because we were at university and they had a no pet policy. I had only planned on keeping him for a few days while my friend figured out what he was going to do but frankly he was an idiot and never really made an effort to deal with it. It was the best thing that ever happened to me, as it turns out, and for a brief 2 years and change I had such a wonderful friend. I didn't ever keep him in a cage and I think it really developed his brain, because he had free range of the house he was one of the smartest animals I think I've ever met. It's too bad these little guys are so disease prone, it is really incredibly unfair. Thanks so much for sharing this it warmed my heart. I hope Smokey and Newt are out there stealing some oven mitts up in ferret heaven together
Sorry for your loss. Makes me wanna hold my furry ray of sunshine right now. I don't know if I should like the video or not honestly. On one hand it shows my appreciation for the channel but on the other hand, it's a sad video.
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 lost 3 of my childhood dogs last year, they were all my best friends, and while i wasn't present when they passed, I still feel the pain and regret. This whole video has seriously impacted me, and while i eagerly await my birthday, where i know i'll adopt a ferret of my own, the never ending reluctance to embrace death will always sit with me.
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!
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.
I cried the whole time! I couldn’t stop thinking about how much this broke y’all’s hearts I have a ferret also I love him very much R.I.P we love you 😽
dook in peace, newt. he is in good hands with all of my ferrets and pets that have crossed the rainbow bridge. i love him like i love my own. thank you for sharing him with us.
My ferret had the same thing happen to him. He was the same color. It’s hard, I can tell you from experience it’s gonna be hard but any other ferrets you have along with those close to you will get you through this.
So very sorry for your loss. Losing a ferret is devastating. They are amazing. Once they grab your heart, they've got it. He will always be with you. May God bless you all and help you through. Take care.
🙏💔God bless precious Newt.. I know your pain after losing My JJ & Kari( looked just like Newt & was deaf).stay strong and it's ok to cry--alot...I share your vision of ferret heaven.. JJ was paralysed due to a spinal tumor and I hope He running and dooking with Kari.. Cherish Newt's memories..I'm sure He felt your love.
Agnostic-Atheist here. I rather like the way you handled conveying your views in this video. It was done with a great deal of care and respect, and that deserves praise. One of my huskies (named Teioh) had treatment-resistant idiopathic epilepsy. At the end, he was on four different medicines to keep the seizures under control, and ultimately none of them worked. Phenobarbital, Keppra, Potassium Bromide, and Zonissamide. Each one, as it was introduced, gave him temporary reprieve, but eventually the epilepsy would catch up and he would begin having seizures again. He passed away right as the pandemic went into full swing here in USA -- May of 2020. At the beginning of April that year something changed in him, and his immune system began attacking his own red blood cells -- Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA). I spent the next six weeks watching his already poor health deteriorate, watching my poor boy's brilliant mind remain trapped in his beautiful, but failing body. I didn't even get to say goodbye when the time came. New pandemic protocols wouldn't allow me into the building during his blood transfusion. All I remember is sitting in the back seat of my SUV with him, wishing the vet hadn't come out so soon to take him from me, and promising him that everything would be okay. I'd see him in the morning. He didn't want to go, and I should've just kept him with me and let him gently drift away. After he passed away, I became pretty dissociated. A lot of stuff I used to care about, I just didn't anymore. Teioh set a new bar for what blips on my radar, and most things in this world just don't meet that measure. I guess it mellowed me out a lot. Will I see him again when I die? I don't know. I hope so. More than anything else, I would love to have the opportunity to apologize to him. I was not worthy, and he deserved better than me. The universe is under no obligation to give me any answers, so I'll just have to wait and see what happens. I am so sorry you went through all of this with Newtie; however, I know that -- like me with Teioh -- you don't regret bringing him into your life. Not one tiny little bit. Those of us who "get it", well, we know.
Omgosh I am in tears...mine was named Angel Fuzz she was my first ferret. She was found under the sofa after sneaking in to my home and eventually my heart. It seems someone threw her away and she was in very bad shape including being deaf. After taking her to the vet I realized I wouldn't have her long, the vet said maybe a week at the most. Two wonderful years later she started to decline very rapidly. I was heartbroken and I think she knew I was because she wouldn't leave my side and would cry every time I did. That night when her seizures started I had nothing to do but to hold her and pray it would be over soon as the vet warned me this would be her end. I have been searching for years to find a way to express the way I felt about her and still do, so thank you so very much for doing this video. I really believe that she is on the other side of the rainbow bridge and now has Newt to play with. Ferrets don't just walk into our lives, they weave themselves into our hearts. She ended up putting me on a journey that would lead me back to my faith in God after many years. So once again thank you for this wonderful memorial to Newt and to all of the other ferret owners that feel the same way about our little fuzz butts. God bless you and yours!
The tortilla chips in his hands. Ugh. Im so so incredibly sorry. This was beautiful. From my 3 fluffy babies and I, we send all the love and condolences in the world
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.
What a beautiful tribute my friends...oh my goodness im in tears, of sadness but also of love and Joy for Newt, as well as for the wonderful people you two are.
A family friend of mine died a while ago from cancer. He had cancer five different times... But the last time he said "If God wants to take me from this world so be it, cause i. Know i lived my life well" I know that newt is living a happy life. He knew he had to go but he stayed alive for you to say goodbye.
This was a VERY HARD!!!! To watch. Many years ago I had 5 fur babies. And one had a identical episode. My heart breaks for all who loose fury loved ones. My heart and love go out to all of us.
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. ❤
@@TheModernFerret no there's not..... I hope Newt is playing with my eight furbabies- they will love him. We will definitely be lucky to see them again, and they will bound towards us like no time has passed
I'm so so sorry for your lost I know the feeling of losing a pet 😞 I cried the whole video I'm so sad to hear this. Stay strong, one day you'll see him again in heaven. God bless.
My baby girl Cecily came back to me in photo, she passed away from lymphoma last year I miss her so much I don’t think I will ever get over it. One day I had to take a picture for class purposes and low and behold she showed up in a mist like form, just like the many together selfies we had before same outline face paws body and all, I couldn’t believe it showed the picture to my father and he was like is that Cecily in ghost form lol Thank you for this incredible video and showing how amazing your baby boy was! Who knows he might visit you in ghost mode to remind you he Loves you forever!
I am a guy who doesn’t cry at almost anything and here I am crying for 20 minutes straight over I ferret I just started watching videos on and I hope newt is the happiest it ever was on this earth. Rip Isaac Newton the Ferret
After losing 3 of my 4, original ferrets, one of which to insulinoma and with 2 of them being adoptions, this, all of this is exactly how I felt. It's so insane how much these little guys attach themselves to your heart. They always fight with everything they have. The last of my original guys had an adrenal gland removed last year that was 10x the normal size, then this year was diagnosed with an enlarged spleen and a liver mass. They gave her a month to live and it's now been 6, she sleeps a lot these days but is still always willing to play. A lot of people don't even have that kind of fight in them. They are inspiring. Losing them is difficult, I've lost dogs that didn't leave as big of a footprint in my life as my ferrets have. It is because of my originals that I have learned and grown with my ferranting. Now every one I take in is switched to raw, and now because of my first guys acting as the ambassadors of their species to me, I work closely with a ferret rescue, having 8 total that have been adoptions. I help other owners switch to raw, provide as much information as I can to help other folks try and avoid the heartbreak and keep their little guys with them longer. Small lives yes, but in my opinion one of the most impactful on big lives. Very beautiful video, Newt is running wild with all the other legends, across the rainbow bridge. D.I.P.
I am very fortunate to have three beautiful carpet sharks and my black eyed white was added to the family last year during the summer. This video was a reminder to cherish every moment with my babies. They have destroyed the carpet in their room (which I must replace when I move out), pooped where they shouldn't have, stolen my shoes, hid them in different places, but I wouldn't change a thing. They drive me crazy, but I can't imagine my life without them. My life is so much better with them, than without them. DIP little Newt ❤😢
Heya obv I didn't know newt either but have been following them on IG for a long time .. boy did I cry too when I heard the news .. and I've cried for other ppl on social media in loss of pets or other sad times..we get use to seeing these sweet furbabies , they make us laugh and give us joy and tho we might not know them personally they still effect our lives in a positive way so its only natural that the loss hurts us too ❤
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!!!!
I'm crying like a baby. Our girl is only 4 months old and it makes me so sad with how short their life is. We've only had her for a little over a month and I feel like we won't even have enough time with her.
RIP Newt 😭 this hurts my heart so much 💔 the male of my two carpet sharks is entering his senior stage of life and this brought me to tears thinking of my own babies stories. Animals play such a huge role in our lives and I chose to get ferrets after researching their impacts on those who need emotional support companions. I am so sorry for your family's loss 💙
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.
DIP sweet Newt. We enjoyed watching you in all your adventures. The world will surely miss you buddy. Hugs to you both, and the fuzzies. Insolinoma is no joke, its just awful. Thanks for sharing.
To hear he not here is the most heartbreaking thing but this is the most loving video a mommy could ever make about he wonderful baby boy this brought me to tears my prayers are with you and his daddy 😢😭❤💕💔🐾🐾
Sorry for your loss of Newt. I know how you feel I have lost 3 ferrets and several dogs I pray that you meet him at the rainbow bridge when the time comes.
I cried so hard my dog came over and did deep pressure therapy (something she does when I’m having a panic attack). I love my dog so much. I understand what you mean when you say you need animals on a spiritual level. I can’t last more than a few days without a dog. They give me a sense of peace in that I get get anywhere else.
I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Newt. I have watched the video several times because I love the message that you bring through this tragic event and want to thank you, although I sob every time. I lost my beloved rescue ferret Mynx in 2016, but was lucky enough to have her for the last 18 months of her 10 year(!) life. I adopted StinkerBelle and Guinness in 2018 and couldn't imagine my life without them! I thank you for your videos, as they are so educational, inspiring and fun to watch. Thank you to both to you and Channing for all that you do! And your beloved Newt will be eagerly awaiting you at the Rainbow Bridge!
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.

You'll live in a castle for eternity with Newt and all your pets that passed away. The purpose of Newt was for you to make this video, ⭐ for him 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.

Sorry about newt :( I lost my Smokey last Monday. Turns out he had cancer for months, and he was only two and a half.

I lost 3 of my childhood dogs last year, they were all my best friends, and while i wasn't present when they passed, I still feel the pain and regret. This whole video has seriously impacted me, and while i eagerly await my birthday, where i know i'll adopt a ferret of my own, the never ending reluctance to embrace death will always sit with me.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Dook in peace❤️
💙
Rest and dook in peace, you will never be forgotten Newt. 😔💙
💙
This made me cry, this is so sad I’m so so sorry 🥺🥺

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!
Rest in the sweetest peace newt
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.
I cried the whole time! I couldn’t stop thinking about how much this broke y’all’s hearts I have a ferret also I love him very much R.I.P we love you 😽
It hurts, the family is smaller 💙
dook in peace, newt. he is in good hands with all of my ferrets and pets that have crossed the rainbow bridge. i love him like i love my own. thank you for sharing him with us.
My ferret had the same thing happen to him. He was the same color. It’s hard, I can tell you from experience it’s gonna be hard but any other ferrets you have along with those close to you will get you through this.
Thank you, our two others are definitely helping us heal 💙
So very sorry for your loss. Losing a ferret is devastating. They are amazing. Once they grab your heart, they've got it. He will always be with you. May God bless you all and help you through. Take care.
🙏💔God bless precious Newt.. I know your pain after losing My JJ & Kari( looked just like Newt & was deaf).stay strong and it's ok to cry--alot...I share your vision of ferret heaven.. JJ was paralysed due to a spinal tumor and I hope He running and dooking with Kari.. Cherish Newt's memories..I'm sure He felt your love.
Am desperatly sad at NEWT passing away. Always remembered.
Agnostic-Atheist here. I rather like the way you handled conveying your views in this video. It was done with a great deal of care and respect, and that deserves praise.
One of my huskies (named Teioh) had treatment-resistant idiopathic epilepsy. At the end, he was on four different medicines to keep the seizures under control, and ultimately none of them worked. Phenobarbital, Keppra, Potassium Bromide, and Zonissamide. Each one, as it was introduced, gave him temporary reprieve, but eventually the epilepsy would catch up and he would begin having seizures again. He passed away right as the pandemic went into full swing here in USA -- May of 2020. At the beginning of April that year something changed in him, and his immune system began attacking his own red blood cells -- Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA). I spent the next six weeks watching his already poor health deteriorate, watching my poor boy's brilliant mind remain trapped in his beautiful, but failing body.
I didn't even get to say goodbye when the time came. New pandemic protocols wouldn't allow me into the building during his blood transfusion. All I remember is sitting in the back seat of my SUV with him, wishing the vet hadn't come out so soon to take him from me, and promising him that everything would be okay. I'd see him in the morning. He didn't want to go, and I should've just kept him with me and let him gently drift away.
After he passed away, I became pretty dissociated. A lot of stuff I used to care about, I just didn't anymore. Teioh set a new bar for what blips on my radar, and most things in this world just don't meet that measure. I guess it mellowed me out a lot.
Will I see him again when I die? I don't know. I hope so. More than anything else, I would love to have the opportunity to apologize to him. I was not worthy, and he deserved better than me.
The universe is under no obligation to give me any answers, so I'll just have to wait and see what happens.
I am so sorry you went through all of this with Newtie; however, I know that -- like me with Teioh -- you don't regret bringing him into your life. Not one tiny little bit. Those of us who "get it", well, we know.
Omgosh I am in tears...mine was named Angel Fuzz she was my first ferret. She was found under the sofa after sneaking in to my home and eventually my heart. It seems someone threw her away and she was in very bad shape including being deaf. After taking her to the vet I realized I wouldn't have her long, the vet said maybe a week at the most. Two wonderful years later she started to decline very rapidly. I was heartbroken and I think she knew I was because she wouldn't leave my side and would cry every time I did. That night when her seizures started I had nothing to do but to hold her and pray it would be over soon as the vet warned me this would be her end. I have been searching for years to find a way to express the way I felt about her and still do, so thank you so very much for doing this video. I really believe that she is on the other side of the rainbow bridge and now has Newt to play with. Ferrets don't just walk into our lives, they weave themselves into our hearts. She ended up putting me on a journey that would lead me back to my faith in God after many years. So once again thank you for this wonderful memorial to Newt and to all of the other ferret owners that feel the same way about our little fuzz butts. God bless you and yours!
Fly high Newt, you will be missed 🕊
Sending love, strength and prayers to you all ♥️

The tortilla chips in his hands. Ugh. Im so so incredibly sorry. This was beautiful. From my 3 fluffy babies and I, we send all the love and condolences in the world
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.
What a beautiful tribute my friends...oh my goodness im in tears, of sadness but also of love and Joy for Newt, as well as for the wonderful people you two are.
Thanks Andrea for always supporting us and the little boys 💙
A family friend of mine died a while ago from cancer. He had cancer five different times... But the last time he said "If God wants to take me from this world so be it, cause i. Know i lived my life well" I know that newt is living a happy life. He knew he had to go but he stayed alive for you to say goodbye.
That is an incredibly sweet message, thank you for sharing his with me.
Its a privilege having ferrets... their love 💘 and unwavering commitment to making humans 😊 is priceless.
This was a VERY HARD!!!! To watch. Many years ago I had 5 fur babies. And one had a identical episode. My heart breaks for all who loose fury loved ones. My heart and love go out to all of us.
the part about leaving some tortilla chips in his hands gets me tearing up every time. thank you so much for this beautiful video
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. ❤
Omg I'm so sorry for your loss. When my fur babies passed each one was so painful 🥺
There's nothing quite like the little soul of a ferret 😥
@@TheModernFerret no there's not..... I hope Newt is playing with my eight furbabies- they will love him. We will definitely be lucky to see them again, and they will bound towards us like no time has passed
@@TheModernFerret ferrets are gorgeous
Awww he was so cute 1m sorry for your loss. He's looking over u
I can barely bring myself to watch this, I can’t stop thinking of my ferret
I'm so sorry to hear that💙
I’m sorry for your loss I hope he’s happy up there and playing with all the others furrybabies we have lost May he Rest In Peace😢
Thank you newt for makeing your mum so proud and kind to use ferret mums and dads bless you 💜🌈🌈🌈🌈
I'm so so sorry for your lost I know the feeling of losing a pet 😞 I cried the whole video I'm so sad to hear this. Stay strong, one day you'll see him again in heaven. God bless.
💙
My baby girl Cecily came back to me in photo, she passed away from lymphoma last year I miss her so much I don’t think I will ever get over it. One day I had to take a picture for class purposes and low and behold she showed up in a mist like form, just like the many together selfies we had before same outline face paws body and all, I couldn’t believe it showed the picture to my father and he was like is that Cecily in ghost form lol Thank you for this incredible video and showing how amazing your baby boy was! Who knows he might visit you in ghost mode to remind you he Loves you forever!
I am a guy who doesn’t cry at almost anything and here I am crying for 20 minutes straight over I ferret I just started watching videos on and I hope newt is the happiest it ever was on this earth. Rip Isaac Newton the Ferret
Ferrets I think could be described as the "grass is always greener" in physical form. They just want to get beyond that barrier
After losing 3 of my 4, original ferrets, one of which to insulinoma and with 2 of them being adoptions, this, all of this is exactly how I felt. It's so insane how much these little guys attach themselves to your heart. They always fight with everything they have. The last of my original guys had an adrenal gland removed last year that was 10x the normal size, then this year was diagnosed with an enlarged spleen and a liver mass. They gave her a month to live and it's now been 6, she sleeps a lot these days but is still always willing to play.
A lot of people don't even have that kind of fight in them. They are inspiring.
Losing them is difficult, I've lost dogs that didn't leave as big of a footprint in my life as my ferrets have. It is because of my originals that I have learned and grown with my ferranting. Now every one I take in is switched to raw, and now because of my first guys acting as the ambassadors of their species to me, I work closely with a ferret rescue, having 8 total that have been adoptions.
I help other owners switch to raw, provide as much information as I can to help other folks try and avoid the heartbreak and keep their little guys with them longer.
Small lives yes, but in my opinion one of the most impactful on big lives.
Very beautiful video, Newt is running wild with all the other legends, across the rainbow bridge. D.I.P.
We will always have newt in our hearts
I am very fortunate to have three beautiful carpet sharks and my black eyed white was added to the family last year during the summer. This video was a reminder to cherish every moment with my babies. They have destroyed the carpet in their room (which I must replace when I move out), pooped where they shouldn't have, stolen my shoes, hid them in different places, but I wouldn't change a thing. They drive me crazy, but I can't imagine my life without them. My life is so much better with them, than without them. DIP little Newt ❤😢
I didn't even meet newt and I'm crying whilst watching this video ... RIP we all love u.
I didn’t even know Newt and I cannot stop crying. Going to hug my ferrets a little longer today
💙💙
Heya obv I didn't know newt either but have been following them on IG for a long time .. boy did I cry too when I heard the news .. and I've cried for other ppl on social media in loss of pets or other sad times..we get use to seeing these sweet furbabies , they make us laugh and give us joy and tho we might not know them personally they still effect our lives in a positive way so its only natural that the loss hurts us too ❤
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!!!!
Rest in love, power and you favorite toys little Angel!
got me crying, i love the part where you'd sing about your 3 ferrets.
I find comfort in animals and anxiety with most people
I'm crying like a baby. Our girl is only 4 months old and it makes me so sad with how short their life is. We've only had her for a little over a month and I feel like we won't even have enough time with her.
I am so sorry for your loss
💙
Rest peacefully Newt. You are so blessed and loved ... 💘 😻
RIP Newt 😭 this hurts my heart so much 💔 the male of my two carpet sharks is entering his senior stage of life and this brought me to tears thinking of my own babies stories. Animals play such a huge role in our lives and I chose to get ferrets after researching their impacts on those who need emotional support companions. I am so sorry for your family's loss 💙
Thank you for the kind message 💙
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.
Hugged my ferrets a little tighter today!! Thank you for sharing this newt's celebration of life!! Im sure he's frolicking all day long!! 🧡🙏
I hope so too!
This was absolutely beautiful. Newt had wonderful parents and...who the hell is cutting onions 😭🥺
I've lost lots of animals throughout the years and still cry. Good job with this video.
I am crying so so much rn. I never had a ferret but still, I wish you the best in heaven Newt.
R.I.P❤😭😭
💙
DIP sweet Newt. We enjoyed watching you in all your adventures. The world will surely miss you buddy. Hugs to you both, and the fuzzies. Insolinoma is no joke, its just awful. Thanks for sharing.
To hear he not here is the most heartbreaking thing but this is the most loving video a mommy could ever make about he wonderful baby boy this brought me to tears my prayers are with you and his daddy 😢😭❤💕💔🐾🐾
I want to be a Veterinarian but every time I watch these kinds of videos I bawl my eyes out 😭
We love you baby Newt😭😭😭 rest in peace little buddy🥰😭
Sorry for your loss of Newt. I know how you feel I have lost 3 ferrets and several dogs I pray that you meet him at the rainbow bridge when the time comes.
I know that Newt went to heaven how could he not have!! 💗
Awww Newt!! Rest in Peace!! You’re adorablest ever!! Sending my prayers and strength to you and all.💙💙💙
💙
😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙😇😇😇
And that was an amazing eulogy for Newt and realizations about life and death. 💙 am in 😢🙏😇
I cried so hard my dog came over and did deep pressure therapy (something she does when I’m having a panic attack). I love my dog so much. I understand what you mean when you say you need animals on a spiritual level. I can’t last more than a few days without a dog. They give me a sense of peace in that I get get anywhere else.
I'm so sorry for your loss Haley and Channing! Rest in peace Newt.
My heart is broken. So sorry for your loss. May you always rest easy Sweet Boy.
That is the most beautiful eulogy for a ferret I've ever heard🥰😭😭 made me remember all the ferrets I've lost
I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Newt. I have watched the video several times because I love the message that you bring through this tragic event and want to thank you, although I sob every time. I lost my beloved rescue ferret Mynx in 2016, but was lucky enough to have her for the last 18 months of her 10 year(!) life. I adopted StinkerBelle and Guinness in 2018 and couldn't imagine my life without them! I thank you for your videos, as they are so educational, inspiring and fun to watch. Thank you to both to you and Channing for all that you do! And your beloved Newt will be eagerly awaiting you at the Rainbow Bridge!
Beautiful words. Such a gorgeous boy. So sorry about your loss. RIP Newt
Legends never die! He’ll always hold a place in my heart!
Thanks he really was a legend!
R.I.P newt I hope you had an amazing life with lots of fun, and I hope you like heaven
Sorry for your loss 😭
I am literally sobbing my heart out right now 😭😭😭
💙💙
Its devastating, the loss. My life is empty
The hardest part of the video was watching that poor cutie in so much pain 😢
I was NOT ready for this video 😭
Newts in a better place now, ferret heaven. The pain will get better. Nothings heals pain like time. I hope you’re doing better soon 🥺❤️
💙
Newt will be so proud of you for writing such a beautiful eulogy. RIP Newt (Romp In Pastures). You both have my sincere condolences.
Thank you 💙💙
I could never handle my ferret having seizures and screaming. I would have sent him to heaven . I just couldnt take it. Awww so sad
Im crying, im so sorry for you
💙
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.
