R.I.P Leo, my Dearly Missed Pig

[Rayvn]

I went to check on my guineas this morning, and found Raphael wheeking at Leonardo's pigloo. He wasn't moving, and he didn't have a pulse. I don't know why he died. He was only three years old, the room was warm, and he had been eating and drinking well. I had him on my lap eating lettuce just last night. And now, just like that, he's gone.

Some of my friends have said that's he was "just a guinea pig" or "just a rodent" and I don't need to be so torn up about it. But, well... he was special, you know? These guys have a way of getting into your heart. Rest in peace, Leo.

Don't worry, you're among people who understand fully here. He wasn't just a rodent. He was a beloved pet, and it hurts like heck to lose our little guinea pig friends. I'm very sorry for your loss.

That's so sad. So sorry for your loss. I completely understand. With 6 pets, 4 of them elderly, I am dreading the day when I have to say goodbye. :weepy:

My family members and boyfriend says exactly the same. It's just a rodent..Even "better" it was a rat..So after a day or two I need to get over it. Nonsense.. It hurts a lot.. It doesn't matter who/what it is, as long as you loved him/her/it. Stay strong. With time it will heal bit by bit. (heal in terms of pain and emptiness when you lose the special one). My Little One died out of the sudden last Sunday (he was only 10 months old). I miss him so much.. These are natural feelings.. Give it time. and remember, Beloved Ones will always have a special place in our hearts

I am so sorry for your loss.

I remember finding Mocha laid in his cage, dead stiff, but still sorta warm which means he'd died in the period where I'd gotten up to pee, and gone back to bed again. It was so heartbreaking, and I screamed at my fiance and we cried forever. I still cry thinking about it now. We had no idea how he died - but to me, piggies are more than just a rodent, they are your best friends. They make the house feel alive and full. In those weeks when we didn't have a guinea pig in the house it felt so empty. So quiet.

I am very sorry for your loss, mega hugs to you. Rest in peace little cutie pie x

R.I.P. little Leo,

Rest in peace, little Leo. It makes me so upset when people say that they are just rodents. I don't even consider my animals pets. They are a part of my family. Whenever someone says it was just your pet, just look at them and say that no, he was your family. Stay strong hun. Let me know if you want to talk.
