[Stephanae]

My name is Stephanae, and I'm the "Angela" in Teresa's posting. We buried Oreo (aka Peaches) on Friday, although I had to take a bucket of hot water out and poor it on the frozen ground to dig a hole. Winter, my daughter, found a pretty rock and wrote "Here lies Oreo who will not be forgotten" on it, and we placed it on Oreo's grave.

We are terribly sad that this happened. We have learned a very hard lesson, though. And I'm now a big believer in not breeding piggies. If you know anyone who's as ignorant as I was, please share my story! I would love for other Guinea Pigs to be saved in memory of Oreo.
