I’m not sure what made me check, but before heading out to church this morning, I discovered that my daughter’s guinea pig (Daizy) wasn’t moving. Her name wasn’t spelled incorrectly, check out the post about our guinea pigs, if you want to know why her name isn’t spelled like the flower.
Unfortunately, my daughters little fur princess died sometime this morning. My daughter was right behind me, so there was no way I could prevent her from seeing her little pal (and delaying the outburst of tears that came).
As expected, we didn’t make it to church today. Her choir was singing at our Lutheran church this morning, but they wouldn’t have heard my daughter — not with all that sobbing. Truth is, I’ll miss Daizy too, she’s the black guinea pig shown in the above photo. She was our most active of the two, and quite feisty.
I found a suitable burial cloth for Ms. Daizy, and buried her beside our most loveliest rose bush. Incidentally, my dog Lalita is buried there too.
*hugs* so sorry to hear your furry one passed today.

@erika, Thanks, we had her for almost three years. She was definitely my daughters guinea pig, since she would always squeak for her. Yes, Daizy liked me also — just not as much. 😉

Thanks @Jennifer,
I’m creating a ‘memory page’ for Daizy. Initially my daughter said she’d be too sad to see it, but I think in time she’ll be ok. I’m including all the kind comments people have left on Facebook and here on Celebrate Life.
When I read the comments that were left for Daizy, she smiled. That made her happy. Once the memory page is complete, I’ll post it here.
[…] Let’s ignore that the only reason she’s naked is because my daughter stripped her of all her clothes. My daughter gave me her best,  how can you resist this face look. And it worked… this time. Once the crocheted items were complete we set up a photo shoot, starring Sophie, and Angel, my daughters guinea pig. I’m happy to say Ms. Angel is doing well, even though she recently lost her guinea pig sister, Daizy.

[…] After Ms. Daizy, the guinea pig died, I was going to get another friend for her, since they’re social animals. However, Â Ms. Angel actually is thriving by herself. She’s more active since Daizy’s been gone and has my daughter and me giggling with her crazy bursts of speed. She loves snuggle time, and will hop onto our lap, when she’s tired, and wants a nap. […]
