Goodbye

Last night we lost our beautiful girl Millie. She was very sick and we spent the last 24 hours of her life trying to nurse her back to health. This is the first time I have ever seen the life leave something living and it has changed me forever. I know we did everything we could but I keep wondering whether it was enough. I have been crying on and off since yesterday and the tears don't seem to be drying up.

She was a wonderful little Guinea Pig and she will be forever missed.

...Millie, Mummy and Daddy love you very much, and we hope you are up in heaven with a never ending vegetable patch and lots of friends to play with.
