Today May 28th marks one year since I lost my Beloved Potato. My first Guinea Pig.
I haven't coped with his death well. I still can't help but feel so much anger and disgust at myself for PTS.
I had never have had to make that awful decision with any of my other pets, and Potato was the one I had the strongest bond with.
I know he was seriously ill, in pain and most likely wouldn't have lived but a few days longer, if that. I know it ended his suffering, Still having to make that decision was excruciating. It was the worst day in my life.
I miss him so Much and Pray when my day comes, I will see him again.
Love you Potato.
 
It’s always bittersweet remembering our beautiful piggies. And I understand exactly how you feel. I still remember very clearly the PTS of each of my piggies. The circumstances may vary but making that decision is always a tremendous burden. But knowing that you can do something to help spare them more pain is a tremendous gift of love that we give our piggies. You loved Potato enough to put his needs first and to let him go. That’s precious x
 
I feel for you. Potato's clone, Master Boris, sends licks and wheeks to you ❤️
 
I'm sorry you are still struggling after having to make the hardest but kindest decision. Sending you hugs.
 
I feel for you! Death is never easy but it is the inevitable end to all our pets. Making that decision was made out of love and the fact you didn’t want him to suffer. It’s such a kind act and yet we alway feel so awful, it’s as if we feel we should have done more.

Try and come to terms with your grief and take care :hug:
 
I’m sending you virtual hugs 🤗 and I am sorry to hear that you are still struggling with the loss of Potato.
 
So sorry that you’re still struggling but this is a normal part of grieving.
Even when we know it’s the right decision to have made there’s always a bit of lingering guilt and ‘if only……..’

Anniversaries are particularly hard
 
Love doesn't stop when a pet leaves us for the bridge, it stays in out heart in lasting memories. Reading your post, your love for Potato shines through and I am sending hugs to you for this sad anniversary :hug:
