Yesterday Ginny our guinea pig died. She was old and it was expected, she was 4 1/2 years old which is a really good age for a guinea pig. But nevertheless it comes hard when they finally pass. Everyone here was so upset, but I think it hit hubby harder than anyone.

She would hear him come home from work and sit in the cage and squeak until he had gone up to her and given her a cuddle and some veggies. He would cuddle her even though he was allergic to her. He would just say that he was lucky that he just got runny nose and his eyes would stream, but it was never any worse than that, he would say that "She wouldn't understand if all of a sudden he stopped giving cuddles, and it wasn't her fault". She will be a real big loss in this household I can tell you.

:smile015: Goodbye Ginny, you are gone but not forgotten ever. :smile015:

Thanks Alison,

Just thought I'd post some pics of Ginny.

This is Ginny just after an operation to remove a very large lump from her side, she was only given a 20% chance of surviving that. That was 3 years ago

This is her with Fudge the Rabbit. Jemma, my daughter is the only one who can do anything with her.

This is Ginny in her favourite spot with her favourite person, Andi, my hubby, She would run up and down his shirt, then run down flip onto her back and wait for him to scratch her tummy, She would then go to sleep, and stay that way for ages. :40:

Geesh, I don't know how I missed these. :eek: They are so cute. We can't have bunnies, or guinea pigs, my daughter is allergic to them. :( I tried, but her face blows up like a balloon and her eyes swell shut.

We all miss her a lot, especially Andi (Hubby) and Fudge (Rabbit), she seems lost without her.

That is such a shame about your daughter being so allergic to them. Oh that is a really nasty reaction to them.
