One of our pets died

polichik

I've had guinea pigs ever since I was little. FI and I have two at our place in Chicago, and my parents had two at our house in MN (where I'm going right now, as it were.) My mom just called to tell me that the little one died. She'd been sick for a while, and she just couldn't fight anymore. Most people don't know how smart and social they are, and it just breaks my heart to know that her cagemate keeps running around the cage trying to find her. Now I'm crying on a bus. Classy. How's everyone else doing?

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm lazy.  I really need to pack.  But then again I'm only up there for 4 days so I really do not need much clothing. I also have to wait to see if the Yankees win tonight or not.  That will effect what I need to bring up there.

aww.  Sorry, Poli.  My daughters had several guinea pigs, and we really enjoyed them.

Thanks for the support, ladies.. We sort of knew it was coming, but she just held on for long and seemed pretty fine. She had ovarian cysts and lost most of her fur, so the winter might have been tough. When my mom let them run around the other day, she (g pig, not my mom) ran up to our dog and cuddled up to stay warm. Our dog's protective of them, so he was cool with it. Man, I need to stop thinking about this stuff.. People are looking at me like I'm crazy.

This was in the "leaving work and getting home" lull in my knot day so I'm late, but i just wanted to send you a hug, Poli.  I went through the same thing in August with our bunny.

Aw I'm sorry to hear that Poli :(I still get choked up / sob when I think about my ratties going earlier this year. They may be little but my goodness do they grab your heart and hold on tight.*hugs*

I'm sorry...I love guinea pigs.  I had one as a teenager that would start squweaking like crazy when she heard the vegetable drawer in the fridge open downstairs.  They are smart little guys!

I'm sorry, polichick. Losing a pet just sucks.
