Buddy left us last night..

[JuniorxMyxLove]

Buddy, my guinea pig, is dead. And I think it was my fault. I don't know what I'm going to do, and I don't know whats going to happen to Pepsi. He's been with her since birth, never apart for more than an hour.



Last night I took her out of her cage and brought her downstairs with me so I could get them some carrots. Halfway across the kitchen she managed to leap from my arms and hit the floor with a thud. I was holding her like I always did, and she just took a flying leap. I grabbed her off the floor and set her on the counter. She seemed fine so I went on cutting up their carrots. I looked over and Buddy was rolling over onto her side. I started screaming and calling my mom. The vets office was closed so we couldn't take her in, and she was having like a siezure of some sort. Her legs were twitching and her body was rolling around. My dad took her out in the garage to look at her, and when he brought her back in she was sitting up and looking sort of awake. We thought she was getting better until she tried to walk around. Her back left leg just flailed around in the air and she flopped onto her side again. My dad put her into another room so she could 'calm down.' I think he knew she wasn't going to get better and didn't want me to see her go.



My little baby finally passed on at 6:32pm on May 20, 2008.

Sorry for your loss. I'm sure most everyone on here has experienced something similar to this. I still beat myself up over the loss of my Goldie (http://www.danieltaylor.us/2008_February.html). I blame myself for that one, and truth is ... it WAS my fault.

But we move on. They are "gone but not forgotten and still loved. They will be missed."

RIP Buddy :(

I'm so sorry. :(Please try not to blame yourself, you couldn't have known Buddy would jump out of your arms. Pepsi will be sad but will be okay. May Buddy Rest in Peace.

Rest in peace, Buddy. You are now pain free and well again at The Rainbow Bridge.

Yes, please don't blame yourself! Animals can be unpredictable despite all the possible precautions we can take... Just give Pepsi some extra special attention because I'm sure she's missing her buddy a lot too. May Buddy RIP.

So sorry to read this... don't blame yourself, you could not control what Buddy was going to do. My thoughts go out to you...

Play hard at the Bridge, Buddy.
