Our last guinea pig, Wesley (aka the WZA) was put to sleep yesterday. He hadn't been eating for a few days and when we took him to get checked out, the vet said he had the early stages of cancer and would die soon, in a slow and painful manner. He was an old man (a grumpy old man)--a few months shy of six years old, and we knew that any sickness would be his last. Wanting to save him the agony, we decided to put him to sleep. He went quietly and peacefully, and we buried him in a local park next to his brother, Sauce.
Now we have no guinea pigs and no real plans to obtain another, at least for a long time. The house feels a bit less cute now.
More GP toons coming soon though!

So sorry for your loss. 6 years is a wonderful, long life and I know he had the best of care. When it is time, I'm sure new pigs will find you. --Michelle
