| Re: Pigs Not For Kids: True Story That story gave me tears to my eyes, I know how you feel. When I was about 6 years old I loved animals, we had 2 guinea pigs Punky and Dotje and I loved them a lot but I also loved horses and was crazy about them. My parents made me choose, Either keep the guinea pigs or give them to someone else so I could go on horse riding. I sadly picked the last. I never forgave myself for it and still feel the guilt everytime I think of them. But I know I was only a kid and it wasn't my fault. I do somewhat blame my parents for making me choose being so young. Now I have 3 guinea pigs and dedicate a lot of my time to them and to educate others about them. It doesn't heal the guilt I have but it does help and hope I can somehow make up to my old pigs by doing this. |
