Your Pet Loss Stories

'Flannerys Death'

by Abby
(Illinois)

I adopted a guinea pig. Flannery was a special little pet for my birthday. He was the best guinea pig you could ever want. The animal shelter owner said he was 3 years old. So we brought this gift home. Every day after school I would go play with him.

But two months later............ He broke my heart he was not eating or drinking. For 3 hours I sat their and waited by his side. We took my guinea pig to the vet. So I was at home and when dad got home he said............. he didn't make it. I burst in to tears, he took my heart with him. I cried for 3 days. He went to the Rainbow Bridge.
