Why do little pets always wait until the school holidays to die. Taz my daughters gorgeous guniea pig took a turn for the worst today and died in her arms with her sobbing. He was pretty old and he had been showing signs of age recently but was eating and drinking and playing up till this afternoon. Erin had been playing in the garden while Taz was in the run and she came running over saying Taz was acting funny so we took him out and he died there in then in her arms. If it had been a school day it would have been less stressful because she wouldn't have seen him die. She is waiting on her dad to come home now so they can bury him under the pet tree. Poor we thing. Sleep tight Taz.

Poor baby, rest in peace Taz and run free over rainbow bridge. I bet your poor daughter is devistated.

Yeah she is really upset but having a lot of pets, she knows that these things will come in the end and he was given a really loving and good life. We lost his friend Scout at the beginning of the year but never replaced him as we would prefer to get two together as the overlap in ages isnt great when on edies and the other is left, but he was very spoilt and loved to torment the dogs by teasing them at the window if he was in and they were out!!  She will miss him though.  Her dad and her went out after tea and buried him in the garden in the pet spot and she put a flower over his place - it was quite sad to watch her saying goodbye to him.
