Doglover05.....Your recent loss brought back to mind the loss of my son's piggie, Gretel. One warm sunny day I put Gretel's cage outside on the back deck to get some nice sunshine and fresh air. A couple of hours later she was dead. Apparently they can't tolerate direct sunlight and the sun had moved right overhead. It was so hard for me that day when my son got off the bus to tell him that Gretel had died and I had been responsible. He was a sweetie though and didn't blame me although he grieved.

4 Feline House....I wish Pet Talk had existed at the time of your loss. This site is filled with wonderful people and is a real source of encouragement and love from the most caring group of strangers whom I have come to regard as friends.
