Brad, although it was hard I am so glad I was there with her at the
end. When my other piggie Josie died, we just found her in the cage
one morning and had died in the night. I didn't even get to say
goodbye.
I absolutely adore guinea pigs and at some point would like to get
another one, perhaps take in a rescue guinea pig from the local
sanctuary. You are right, they all have their own unique personalities
and they are such expressive creatures.
But I could never have more than 1 or 2 guinea pigs though, I think it
must be very hard work take care of 7 piggies!
