My beloved Fuzzy has passed away after giving us almost 7 yrs of joy. That's ancient for a guinea pig (long haired Peruvian Silkie) but he was healthy and active up until just a week before his death. Being the drama queen that he was, he literally keeled over and died in my arms. It's hard to explain how anyone can be so attached to such a strange little animal but I loved him dearly. He purred and chuckled when he was happy, murmured a thank you when I gave him veggies or fruit, tugged on my shirt when he had to go potty and tattled on everyone else that held him. He leaves behind his wife Zorra (pix in earlier posting), Panda bear Buddy and his human family. His children Dorothy & Chester preceded him in death. I wrapped him in his little quilt and tucked in a large leaf of Romaine lettuce for his journey. R.I.P. Fuzzy. We'll miss you!
