Hi everyone, this is my first post, I came here for some support and to share what a special friend our guinea pig was. Don't want his life to pass without acknowledgement.
Mocha was our first guinea pig and he was the sweetest little boy ever. I swore once we got to know him that I would never get another small animal other than a guinea pig again. He was a doll. He squeaked everytime he heard me cutting veggies in the kitchen and when we came downstairs in the morning.
Well I came home from work today and my husband told me that he wasn't interested in his lettuce this morning, which was not like him at all. I went over to check him and he was in a corner and breathing very shallowly. I picked him up and held him and knew he wouldn't be with us much longer. He died in my arms around 12:30 today. He seemed fine, this came out of nowhere. He has been with us for almost 4 years and his sweet disposition will be missed by my children, husband and I. The house will be quiet without the squeaks and I already had to catch myself from putting veggie scraps in his cage.
Sweet Mocha, we will miss you and I am sorry that I couldn't make you better. Love you, go enjoy lots of celery and romaine in guinea pig heaven.8...
