One dead guinea pig

Yesterday, one of our guinea pigs died. It was Meike, the mom of the two baby guinea pigs, and she was only 21 months old. Even for a guinea pig, this is not a very old age. We assume she must have been sick and are hoping that her sister, who is in the cage with her, won't die as well. Emma and Janne were a little sad, but not overly so. They did help bury the little animal and in that 'easy' way had their very first experience with death and burial.

Ready to say goodbye
