patrick looked like such a sweet guinea pig. Poor thing, the story breaks my heart, he is in a better place now. - Shannon, Fri, 4 Nov 2005 3:49PM |
Patrick was the cutest little thing! I wish he could have lived, but if was in pain, he is no longer in pain and is happy. - meredith, Fri, 21 Oct 2005 6:46PM |
I miss Patrick, my lethal buddy who sent me homemade Critical Care! I ate some apple-sweet potato mash in honor of him the other day. Yummy! I wish I could eat tomatoes but I don't even have one fang to spear them with. :( - Einstein the Wonder Pig, Thu, 13 Oct 2005 8:20AM |
Awww what a sad story. Poor little Patrick. I cried when I read Patricks story on my computer today. I have a Dalmation piggie and a Peruvian as well. Both are female and when I got our Dalmation I thought she may be pregnant. I was releived to find out that she wasn't as I did buy her from a pet store and had no idea who the father may be. Patrick was a great example on how important it is to read all about guinea pigs before you get one. What a little sweety he was. RIP Patrick : ( - Piggie lover, Sun, 9 Oct 2005 10:38AM |
