It's all my fault :( I was looking after a dog, who was ok with the rabbits and guinea-pigs, and I was in the kitchen with the back door open so I could see and hear what they were doing, and I heard wheeking. I went outside, and the dog had got him. It's all my fault. If I wasn't so selfish with wanting to look after dogs, and if I put my own pets first instead of letting dogs come and stay here then Barry would still be here. He deserved so much more than I ever gave him, he lived alone and he should have had a friend. It's all my fault :(
RIP Barry, I love you so much, I'm so sorry 8...

Alicia,

What an awful shock :(

Looking after piggies is most definitely a learning experiece - nobody is perfect and we should all keep learning, no matter how much experience we have. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but we can turn regrets around for good. If there are things that you wish you'd done differently, then take it on board - make any changes you can and keep learning.

Barry was beautiful. RIP little fella x
 
Oh no Alicia, please don't blame yourself! 8... You didn't know this would happen at all. I'm so sorry, sending huge hugs. Barry just won demi mitchell's youtube competition, a lovely way to remember him. :)

I'm just so sorry he's gone, he had a great life with you, never forget that,

Emma xx
 
So sorry you have lost your beautiful boy. Hugs to you at this sad time.

RIP Barry

oh honey i am so sorry for you, what an absolute shock it must have been. Barry was simply gorgeous.

Rip Barry, sleep well x

please try not to be too hard on yourself. This is a little warning to us all, even if our dogs are ok with our little ones, you just never know...

Thinking of you x
 
He was a beautiful pigggy. <3
It wasn't your fault, the dog was supposedly fine with gp's and rabbits, you didn't know, don't blame yourself.
 
I'm so sorry to hear about Barry. Sleep well gorgeous boy and send piggie kisses down from Rainbow Bridge to dry your mummys years..
 
Alicia, I'm so sorry - please don't blame yourself, it was a tragic accident.

RIP sweet boy.
 
Alicia I am so sorry. It is obvious how much you loved Barry so please don't blame yourself for a horrible accident. If you search this and similar forums nobody is perfect and accidents have happened.

Popcorn free Barry, send a rainbow for your mummy x
 
Thank you everyone :( When my guinea-pigs have died before, I've felt sad, but particularly now, I went outside to feed the other guinea-pigs and his hutch and run was still there, with bedding and food in it, the run lid was pushed in like how the dog got in) and I keep thinking of Barry after we got the dog away from him :( I can't remember him when he was happy and fine, I just keep thinking of that :( I really want Barry back :(
 
Alicia whee are so very sorry to hear about sweet Barry 8...8...8...

Don't beat yourself up forever, learn form it and move on. Barry is pain free and popcorning over the bridge right now. He knows you loved him x>>

I agree with this. I know you'll be your own biggest judge right now but please don't blame yourself.

Popcorn free at the bridge gorgeous man, say hello to my Gladys whilst you're there x
 
I am so sad! We lost some of our guinea pigs to our neighbour's dog despite a supposedly dog safe run when I was a child. You always blame yourself when something like that happens - sadly, it only takes a minute or two of inattention...

RIP Barry
 
So so so sad, am really sorry. Sweet dreams little Barry.
 
Accidents happen sweetheart, it's always going to be 'what if?' after, no matter how you replay it in your head, it's not going to bring Barry back:( Don't blame yourself, you've learned from this terrible experience that sometimes you've got to go by your instincts.. Hugs to you, I'm sure Barry didn't suffer XX
