I Love Animals

Just had to dig a smallish hole in the flower border to inter my younger daughter's guinea pig, which died last week, having had a stroke a few days earlier. Took a whole hour to do the job, despite its size.
He had to lie in state for about a week (inside an old chest freezer where I keep my tools. Vermin-proof) because the ground was too frozen and then it rained copiously so today was the first day I could bury him. The sun shone. He joined three others nearby.
He had a good life with his friend Shadow, who doesn't appear to be missing him too much.
R.I.P. Tufty 😢

@SW-User thank you. The grieving is mostly done. Funny how even the little creatures leave a hole in your heart ♥

@Gallahadnt I cried when my rat died. She lived almost 4 years. 💔

@SW-User I always shed a few tears, no matter what the animal. I'm just a big softy 😊

@Gallahadnt same! Unless it's a bug.

@SW-User even those sometimes. I get more Buddhist as I age! 😇😂

@Gallahadnt the ones that don't hurt me, I don't have a problem with. I love dragonflies, ladybugs, and butterflies, things like that.

@SW-User same. Feeling guilty over dispatching slugs from the garden though? Where did that come from? 😵
SW-User
@Gallahadnt or killing a spider that might your grandbabies. No guilt for me. I'll squish them!

@SW-User oh noooo! I'm a big defender of the arachnids. They eat nasty flies! 😁
