My Heart is Broken

My heart is broken for my little Chloe Jane. Her Guinea Pig, Snowflake, passed away. I haven't heard exactly what happened.
I think Evie might know. She is sad too but don't know if she quite gets it. Chelsea sent email pictures of Chloe holding the Guinea Pig in her arms sobbing. I didn't think I should post them because she might feel bad to be seen in all her grief. But my heart broke for her. She is so tender-hearted and sweet. I hate cats now...but when my kitty( Cleopatra) died when I was little, I cried my heart out. I even slept in her bed. So I can relate. Coco I am so sad for you. I am glad you still have one GP left. Even though GP's aren't my thing, I can feel for you.

This was the email Chelsea sent:

"Just to let you know, Coco is very sad about the loss of one of our guinea pigs. It was a nice funeral but a very dramatic evening with lots of tears. We think Evie accidentally caused its demise. Involuntary GP slaughter. Now we just have to hope Snowflake's daughter doesn't die of a broken heart. Waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I know our family isn't the first to sign up for PETA, but it is sad to see the kids so sad. Except Felix, who handles loss in his own way: He wanted to cut it open to see its bones (for science, or course). Unfortunately, I had to pay my respects for a distance (my highly allergic reactions survive the rodent's death)."

I guess this is one of the childhood things we all had to experience.....loss of our pet. But somehow I feel so bad for my little grandkids. They love so unconditional and I guess GP's love back in their own way. We will all survive.
