What a touching story! I only had dogs as a child, but I remember the deep hurt I felt when I lost one.

I came into having cavies as an adult. I too, like so many others buoght one for my son. Well, that didn't last long for him. I took to the piggie myself and have been hooked ever since. Robin is that piggies name. If I had just let my son take care of him, I doubt he would be here now. It is a mistake to get them for kids. But, hopefully they will see how much love they give to the household and as adults will want to love pets too.
