I'd just like to wish in soft peace the crossing over of Rainbow Bridge of Alan, Aggie and Penny.
Today my sneaky dog broke into the stables and into the guinea pig house and killed Alan, Aggie and Penny.
When I heard Clyde squeaking I thought there was some fighting so I went over just to check. I found Aggie and Penny dead with Alan and Clyde still alive.
After much cursing the dog and my mum removing him, I cuddled Alan in his last moments before he passed away. Clyde has a few cuts but is shocked but alive.
I buried them together under a pyracantha plant.
I'm rehoming the dog as it makes me sick just looking at him.

I still have Clyde but no friend for him, he may still pass away from shock, time will tell.

R.I.P Alan my little carrot stealer, Aggie my cuddler and Penny my little chatterbox.
 
I am so sorry for your loss. What a horrific find for you.

I wouldn't re-home the dog - that isn't fair on him. It's his natural instinct to attack them. I would look at the security of your guinea pig set-up just to ensure that it doesn't happen again.
 
Thank you all.

The guinea pig setup is very safe, I struggled to get in there in the mornings! We were only standing 5 meters away at the time, which is what has shocked me.

This isn't the first time he has killed / killing something. He's killed many chickens, I understand the reason for why as they get onto the gravel area which is 'his'.
But this is the first time ever he has killed something like this. He has been so good recently.

I don't want to rehome the dog, as he was my soul mate and really did understood me. But I just can't look at him at the moment.
 
What a shock! Poor Clive! I hope that he's going to make it. He's got my best wishes.

It is natural that you don't want to look at your dog at the moment, but don't make any hasty decisions. Let things cool down a bit and then have a good old talk where you really go through all scenarios.

I am so sorry for you - what a rotten thing to happen to you and you guinea pigs!
 
I am so sorry to hear about your piggies. RIP little ones.

I would echo though about your dog that you should take some time to look at arrangements for making all your animals secure. I totally understand that you feel you can't look at him at the moment but please don't do anything hasty just take your time about the decision.

"I don't want to rehome the dog, as he was my soul mate and really did understood me. But I just can't look at him at the moment. "

He still is your soul mate and was only doing what is natural behaviour for him. I have 45 guineas, a bunny, 4 ducks and an ex-racing greyhound who is definately into chasing cats etc outside the home but we have seperate areas of the garden for the small furries and the dogs. If the worst did happen and Dill did get into the guineas section and do damage I would feel very cross and sad but would not re-home him just make his part of the garden more secure and do everything I could to prevent it.

Huge hugs to you as I know it must have been a shock but in time maybe you could remember all the things that made your dog your soulmate.

My thoughts are with Clive I hope he pulls through.
 
I can understand what people are saying about not rehoming the dog, but he's now going to have a taste for piggie terror - If there's going to still be piggies then he's probably going to be even more determined to harm them :(

Plus it's not going to be easy to have him around after this, even if it is just his nature.

Sorry to hear what's happened, must be horrific :(
 
Sorry for your loss, but please don't rehome your dog. It's their instinct to attack them and dogs can be trained out of wanting to attack them - I did this with mine.
 
I'm so sorry about today hun it must of been so distressing for you, i understand how you must be feeling right now but please dont forget that animals do silly things but only in there own nature, your dog must of thought this looks like a game, as my mums dog used to watch my boys darting around in there hutch. Please think about it and i know you must be angry, i dont how i would cope hun. Please dont beat yourself up though you did all you could do and at least the security was good. Take care and give Clive a big kiss and lots of attention for me.
 
Oh what a shame, i'm so sorry for your losses. I do hope Clyde pulls through. I have dogs too and like everyone says you should leave it a wee while before doing anything hasty on re homing him. Have you found out how he got into them?
Hugs Sarah x
 
Oh my how awful, i'm so sorry for your losses :(

I echo other people regarding your dog & i too hope Clyde pulls thru' x

Sleep in peace Alan, Aggie & Penny x

OMG i'm so upset for you, poor little Alan, Aggie and Penny 8...8...8...
RIP Alan, Aggie and Penny run free sweet little angels have fun popcorning and muching on the clover and dandelions, you're now with many other lovely piggies and i'm sure you've made lots of friends xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx you'll always be remembered by your family xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))) and lots of loves from me xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Oh gosh i'm so sorry for you, i see you're delema and it's one i'd not wish on anyone 8............all my best i hope things settle down and you can find a solution xx>>>
 
I'm so sorry for your losses. It must have been such a shock for you. I agree with the majority about not re-homing your dog. I hope little Clyde pulls through xx
 
I'm so sorry for your losses. I can't begin to imagine the pain and grief you are going through right now.
Rest well, Alan, Aggie and Penny. xx
 
I am so sorry to hear about your precious piggies 8...8...8... It is devastating when we lose our piggies, especially in such tragic circumstances.

I lost 2 piggies on 2 separate occasions to a dog I was caring for, for a friend who was away. On both occasions the pigs managed to get out of their cage & the dog, a greyhound, did what the breed does. Vaughn died very quickly & I was away at the time. Vanilla died in my arms a few hours later. I cried & felt more guilt & anger at me than the dog. I couldn't blame her as she did what her breed does. Even now when I think about it I can only pray & hope that they have forgiven me. But I feel no anger towards the dog & can still give her hugs when I see her.

You will feel some anger, hurt, dislike of your dog, but as many have have said before me, don't rehome him. Grieve with him. It sounds strange, but it will help - honestly. Scream & shout if you need to! And cry - lots & lots. 8...

Hold onto the fact that your piggies are altogether. They will be looked after by the piggies who have gone before them. Hold onto your precious memories & love.

My manly quintet send special hugs & squeaks at this tough time. xx>>>They are also sending squeaks to Clyde. Give him lots & lots of love & kisses & let him know that his friends are over the bridge, safe & most importantly together. Let him know that it is OK to miss them & give him extra love. x)

Horrendous.

I'm so so sorry you lost your beautiful friends in this ghastly way.

Sleep well, sweet piggies xx
 
I can only imagine how you must be feeling right now.
I am so sorry about the death of your piggies .... I have everything crossed that Clive does pull through. Give him plenty of tlc and quiet and hopefully all will be well.

As regards your dog. I echo what has been said by other members ... give yourself time and don't do anything hasty. You are in shock and need to think very carefully before doing anything.

We are all here to help xx
 
I am so sorry you are going through this at the moment but like everyone has said give yourself time befor making any decisions.
R.i.p sweet piggies xx
 
I am soo sorry. Three piggies lost same the same time is a great loss! I know it's the dog's nature but still i don't think i'd want to keep the dog, if he was mine either. it's for the best in case he does it to any other piggies you get
