Good-Bye, Oreo

The older of our two guinea pigs, Oreo, has not been well this past week.  Erin begged me to take him to the vet, as he was lethargic and had stopped eating.  I took him in yesterday to find out that he was old and at the end of his life, and he probably wouldn't make it much longer.  Erin spent a lot of time with Oreo last night and this morning after making the painful decision to have him put down.  She did not want him to suffer anymore.


This morning I took Oreo to the vet to be put down.  The whole process took less than 30 minutes, but was still a bit sad.  The vet was very understanding, and when it was over, they gave me Oreo back in this box:

Erin has decided to bury her pet in a special place in the back yard by the garage.  RIP Oreo.  We'll miss you.
