Don't be too hard on yourself for caring it is a rare comodity in this cold world of ours - the kids are more resilient than us and of course it is less real to them - with my kids their Grandad has just passed but they seem to have bounced straight back whilst i'm still falling into occasional deep puddles of despair
, and yes it is omparable when we love the animals as part of the family then we mourn them the same way hugs for you, a toast to piggy, and a smile for the good times xx

Yes Mutt my kids seemed to have soon got over their Grandma dying earlier this year - I thought they would be absolutely devastated when she died because they were both very close to her because she lived in the same house as them for 6 and 7 years. They both seemed to have coped very well with it - and Rhianna too of course although Rhianna wasn't as close to my mum as the other two were - although my mum loved her to bits but Rhianna just saw her as an old woman that was tied to an oxygen machine and couldn't play with her like her other grandma could

Its my fault cos I should have brought him in last week
I have took numerous guinea pigs to the vets when they are ill and I haven't had one that has got better yet despite injections which seem to stress them out more cos they are very thin skinned and so the injection hurts more for them. I had one that started with a cold and I took it to the vets the first day it got it and the vet injected it and it seemed to be winning but then two weeks later suddenly died They are just so good at hiding when they are feeling ill that there isn't a lot you can do He wasn't really old - 3 1/2
