I lost a dear friend today
who used to greet me when I got home from school
who used to hate baths
who used to cuddle up against me when I held her
I lost a dear friend today
and they don’t know what caused it
One day she stopped eating
and from there she didn’t get better
She went from always squeaking when she saw me
to barely making a noise
From running around her cage
to laying curled up in the corner
I lost a dear friend today
everyone said I made the right decision
when I said I’d rather put her down
Than let her suffer
Mabye she isn’t hurting anymore
but I am
and I miss her
is that selfish?

How very beautiful PotsnPans..... Well done.
Ooh no, not selfish. We have 2 girl and 2 boy guineas - in separate cages! We have 'replaced' some over the years when sadly they got poorly. you feel for each one.
A tip maybe - if you get more, maybe have two of the same sex. They don't like being alone.
Also, they can get poorly very suddenly, then often that's the end, sadly.
We tried. We have two guineas, and we got Tammy about a year and a half before Nillie. If they got near each other, Tammy would try to attack her.
We had one. It had a skin tumour that they treated. It lived another 18 months before it got too poorly.
It's natural to miss a lovely pet - no you're being quire normal - this is a beautifully written and sympathetic piece - you've done your pet proud.
