Oh I would say 'just' a guinea pig...If you loved it,it doesn't matter what species it is. Thank you.
Holy ass. I am really sorry for you. That whole thing...wow, it's just so sad. ;n; Makes me somewhat grateful that I slept through my last dog's death...though all he did was take one last breath and went silently, according to my dad.
It never makes it easier though. Especially the way we connect with our animals. I've actually never cried much more than a few quiet tears for a human, but I've gone ballistic over my animals' deaths. D:
I'm sure you'll be able to recover in time. Just remember how much she loved you and appreciated you being with her all those years~
I am so sorry to hear that. That is an awful thing to have to go through.
