Hi all,
My name is Kevin and I am new to this, I am going to get right in it. Our family have had two piggies for about a year and a half (Mr. Guinea and Squirrely) along with 3 furbabies (dogs), which are really well behaved and, well
like I said babies, two of them are big babies. Yesterday morning before my wife got up I ran to Walmart and got some things, two of those thing just happened to be hay and new bedding for our piggies. Later in the day
I needed to go to my moms and while I was gone my wife and daughter were going to change the piggies bedding, well about a half hour after I left I saw I had a missed call from my wife and also an unfortunate text from
my wife stating that one of our dogs got a hold of Squirrely and he ended up passing away. I raced home, as I was about 8 miles away at the time to find out what happened. My wife was in the bathroom and our daughter
started to get the piggies out of their cage and put them in their smaller cage so they could change the bedding, one of our dogs opened up the bedroom door and was able to reach Squirrely and took off with him, my wife came running
out of the bathroom yelling at our dog to drop him, which he did. My wife then said at that moment he was still breathing as she picked him up and took him into the bedroom, her and my daughter sat there with him and they he started to
take a couple deep breathes and then passed away. There were not marks on him or anything, our dog did not chew on him or sink his teeth in him, we are thinking it was just the stress and his beautiful little heart could not take it. I can't help
but feel responsible for his untimely death, if I would of not went to the store first thing in the morning and got the bedding, Squirrely would still be with us and it just breaks my heart knowing that. My wife says that in no way should I feel like that, she said she could put the blame on her, since she was not in the room at the time, but I am like no, if I would not of went to the store, he would still be here, it all comes down to I am the one that went to the store and got the bedding. I
am just feeling horrible, we are supposed to take care of them, keep them safe and I feel I have failed at that in the most horrible way possible. Now we are watching our other little guy Mr.Guinea to see how he acts in the coming days, we feel bad for him since he has lost his brother and has no idea what is going on, figure here in the next few weeks we will want and need to get another piggie to keep him company. I am just at a loss, anyway thanks to anyone to take the time to
read this.
Broken hearted.
