Dear friends,
Today has been a difficult day for us. Our Guinea Pig, Oreo, has battled several urinary tract infections. Over the weekend she became lethargic, stopped eating, and was having difficulty urinating, so this morning I took her into the vet. They decided she needed X-rays, so I left her there. Hannah had early dismissal at 1:00 and right after I picked her up Scott called to say that Oreo was not doing well. Hannah and I went to the veterinarian where we found out that Oreo had not responded well to the anesthesia and had crashed. They were able to resuscitate her, however, and things were looking better. Hannah and I each held her and then left her for overnight observation. A little while after we got home, I received a call that Oreo had passed away.
This is the first pet Hannah has lost and, as you can imagine, it was very traumatic. We brought Oreo home and buried her in a beautiful, quiet place in the back yard. We will miss our sweet Oreo, she was a joy and a love!

That is truly a sad thing. Pets find and hold a special place in our hearts forever. Goodbye Oreo.
So sorry to hear about Oreo! I hope you all are doing as best as you can. Now having Jackson, we can truly feel your pain. Animals have a very special way of touching our lives in such a unique way. Hugs to all of you!
Love,
Debbie
