But the good thing about kids is they get over these things remarkably quickly and just remember how much they loved it, rather than how sad they were when it died. xGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-81096032210335316472014-04-18T13:12:58.095+01:002014-04-18T13:12:58.095+01:00So sorry to hear you've lost Lulu, she looks j...So sorry to hear you've lost Lulu, she looks just like our bubbles.

They do make lovely family pets - when my niece had her first guinea she let me hold him (cos I'm the best auntie, y'know ;) ) then, as he was obviously happy and squeaking away, she said "Aww, he loves you doesn't he?… but he loves me more because I'm the mummy" I think she was 4 at the time. Treasured memories. Grieve for your piggy but don't stay sad for too long, CJ. Lots of love.

Most people just stick them in a dark cage in a corner and feed them cheap hay and baby carrots forever. Or they are tormented by little hands that shouldn't be left alone to "play" with them. Your boys sound very responsible. I'm sure the house is quieter now with one less "squeaker".

It sounds as though she had a wonderful life though, lots of company and lots of love. It's always difficult when you've had a pair and one passes, as you say, they do love living together, but where do you draw the line, you could go on and on. We were in the same position and we decided against getting another one, the remaining one lived about another eighteen months, but we made sure that we spent a lot of time with her. As you say, it's not the same though really. Piggies make the most wonderful pets, they're such beautiful, gentle little critters. I'm sure you and your boys will have lots of happy memories of Lulu.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-21819098103554100202014-04-15T11:23:20.478+01:002014-04-15T11:23:20.478+01:00Oh I'm so sorry.

It is so sad when a guinea pig dies - they are such a big part of the family. I have tears in my eyes after reading your post. <br /><br />We had two guinea pigs form a rescue home. One, Doritto died about two years ago and we now have just Tuc - we took Tuc to the RSPCA twice to try to find a friend for him but he wasn't interested, the staff there said they had never seen a guinea pig react like Tuc did, so he has been on his own for 2 years now but his cage is in our kitchen so we hope that being with us much of the time makes it less lonely for him. I always talk to him when I'm in the kitchen. <br /><br />Enjoy your happy memories of Lulu and the lovely photos - hugs to you all xxWainwright and Wright.Cohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861281622417274521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-41695567829270264242014-04-15T08:34:56.202+01:002014-04-15T08:34:56.202+01:00So sorry to hear of your loss of Lulu.. sounds lik...So sorry to hear of your loss of Lulu.. sounds like you gave her a wonderful life..
