For my 2 and a half year old guinea-pig Chocolate who died today at approx 5pm He has been ery poorly for the past couple of days, he lost over half his original body weight and was looking very down, he was on painkillers just incase there was any pain but the vet said he didn't think he was in pain, they found a lump in his stomach but in order to find out what it was they would have to open him up. Apart from the finacial side having ust spent £100 on sedative, oral examination, anti-biotics and pain killers and this looking to cost an extra hundred, i just couldn't put him through it I decided that if he wasn't in pain i would like to bring him home and nurse him as he left us instead of having him PTS there and then. I never had much of a bond with him as he was a feisty little so and so, but these past few days he grew on me a lot, i will miss him as i do any of my passing pets, but i am just glad he left us peacefully and painless... RIP sweetie xXx

Very sorry to hear of the loss of Chocolate - I have a soft spot for guinea pigs, they are such chirpy characters and I am sure you will miss him sorely.

Sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts are with you.
On a totally different note - and to keep your mind off this - Labels is spent wrong in photo 4 ;D
