That is a sad story. I'm so sorry for your loss and sorry for your feeling of guilt. Everyone makes mistakes, not just kids. Placing blame is only helpful the way you have done it, to take responsibility for our own mistakes and learn not to repeat them. Graciously, you have left the mistakes of others from your story. It was a mistake to use a poisonous product on the lawn. Your piggie was probably not the only living thing to die from it. It was a mistake to leave out a pen that shouldn't be used. It seems to me you are a wonderful pet owner, even as a child, with caring parents who take responsibility for you and your pet. You are a wonderful pet owner who made a mistake, just like other pet owners of any age sometimes do.
