RIP Andy

[haldoor]

Our last guinea pig, Andy, died today.

After his mother Squeaka got ill and died last year (around this time) Andy and Ginger were still okay, and we had put them together in the hopes of having babies. That never happened. Some time later, both Ginger and Andy came down with whatever Squeaka had had, and Ginger passed away in August this year, but Andy had been hanging on. We looked after him as best we could, but there just wasn't any recovering from whatever it was that struck them down and Andy finally gave up the fight today.



Bye Andy; we loved you.

It was hard, but it's for the best as he really wasn't well. Thanks for your concern *hugs*

Aw, poor little Andy, but it sounds like he put up a valiant fight.

*hugs*

Yeah, he held on and I kept thinking he'd go any day. Now he's at rest. *hugs back*

Ah so sorry to hear that, love. We know what a hole losing a beloved pet can leave.

Yes, it's not easy, but thankfully we have some other pets to help ease the pain *hugs you back*

I'm so sorry. I used to have guinea pigs too. *hugs*

Thanks. Guinea pigs are so sweet and we loved ours, so it is sad to have lost all of them so quickly (well, we did have them four years, but it still seems short) *hugs back*

Aw, sorry hon. Pets are precious, no matter how small. :(

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

They are, and it's been hard losing so many so quickly. We are going to take extra special care of the ones we have left. *hugs*

Oh, I am sorry to hear that. I've always been fond of guinea pigs. They're quite personable.

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

Thanks. They are great little creatures; we had a hard time with them this time around though, and losing Andy was very upsetting. *hugs*

I'm sorry... it's so sad to lose those little darlings *hugs*

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

It is, but we knew our time was limited. Thanks for your concern, sweetie - I appreciate it and the hugs too! *hugs back*

This is a little belated now, but I just went to send you hugs. It's so hard to lose your animals - they're such a part of your family, it feels like you always had them.

*hugs*

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

Thanks - it really does hurt, even with such a small pet that some might wonder why they were so important. But we're glad Andy's out of pain now, and we did have four lovely years with him.

*hugs back*
