Sad News...

Saturday night I noticed that my guinea pig, Lovey (aka LoveBug), hadn't eaten her tomatoes and carrots.  I was immediately concerned because she would normally munch up all her veggies and then squeak for more.  I took all the veggies out just incase she decided to eat them and they started to go bad.  Then yesterday she didn't eat her veggies again and was really mushy.  I tried feeding her with a syringe (I happen to have it from the last time she got sick and I had to use it to feed her.)  I mixed this green superfood powder I have with a little bit of water and put tang in her drinking water and fed her as much as I could of both.  Sadly, this didn't help...
Today my heart is heavy as I say goodbye to Lovey.  She was almost 7 years old and gave me a lot of joy with her sweeter than sweet disposition and little miss diva attitude.

Lovey is on the left .  She looked like an Oreo with her black face and booty and white body.  Taz is on the right.  He passed away about 5 years ago.

My two girls.  Here is Lovey lying on the bed with my golden retriever, Bella.  See what I mean by Lovey looking like an Oreo?  A double stuffed Orea, at that.

Rest in peace, Lovey.  You will be missed.

I'm very sorry to hear about Lovey... :( I know she was grateful for all you did to care for her, and for all the love you gave to her in her life.

Thank you, Mel. It was just so sudden and combined with everything that's been going on for the last few months, I had a small meltdown today. I was the lucky one. For such a little thing, she had tons on personality. Thank you for your wonderful words, I know that you understand how I feel.
