RIP Scotty 3/19/23

[*savs*]

On 3/19/23 Scotty’s life was taken. It was a normal day, I was taking care of my Guinea pigs when the foster dog came downstairs. She was very interested in them so I took her back upstairs and put her in her kennel. I let her out later but she went back downstairs so had to put her back in the kennel. I went upstairs to get changed when my dad came home. He let the dogs out to go to the bathroom. My friend who saw how the dog was acting went downstairs to make sure she didn’t get them. However she noticed the basement door was open, and when she went downstairs she realized one of the piggies were missing. She ran upstairs and her and my family started yelling the dogs name. She found the dog in the living room and screamed when she saw my poor piggie. At this point I heard the commotion and ran downstairs my friend told me which pig it was but not where he was. My dad didn’t want me to see him because he thought it would traumatize me. Scotty wasn’t bloody but he was flat. He was frozen and stiff. I think the dog gave him a heart attack. I miss him so much. I was having a rather lovely day with him too. I’m worried about the other one too. Scotty is on the right. Be careful with dogs everyone. -*savs*

I am so sorry you lost Scotty.

I have always been of the opinion that if you have pigs there should be no other pets in the home. It only takes a moment for an accident to happen. I have had so many people tell me that their other animals are fine with them and that may be, but it's a risk I am not ever willing to take.

Run free at the Rainbow Bridge, Scotty.

Sorry for the sudden loss of your kiddo. Dogs are cursed and I hate them. You should make sure to report this to whoever you are fostering for, so they know the dog is dangerous around small animals.

I am so, so sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is always so, so hard. They may be small, but they still leave the biggest of holes in our hearts.

Rest in peace, little Scotty. You will be missed dearly.
