miss Checkers, the last of our guinea pigs passed away in our arms today. Checkers had ovarian cysts, an illness that killed her mother and several sisters as well. Check was a few months shy of 6 years old, and her cagemate and sister, Puddin, passed away in May. Checkers was a big strong girl who LOVED cuddles, and as soon as she saw food she would run to the front of her cage wheeking in exitement. when I went to check on her today she was almost comotose,to weak to even hold herself up, so I brught her upstairs and just sat with her, when my mom came home we both just sat with her, holding her till she passed away peacfully.
RIP Checkers: November 5th 2002-Augest 8th 2008
