Hi Deborah, I just did a post on pets for tomorrow on my blog! I had a Gerbil when I was young and it drove me crazy. It loved to chew on the cardboard toilet paper rolls when I was trying to sleep at night. He wasn’t a cuddler either. Your guinea pig is cute! I understand how you miss your dog. I really miss not having a cat. 🐈⬛

We always had cats too. My sister was always bringing them home, and my son is a cat guy. We had 4 while he was growing up. Both my sister and son still have a cat so I get it. 😊

Precious memories, beautifully captured. Our pets teach us so much about love. We’ve said goodbye to two dogs while raising our children and our third has just turned 8!

Thank you so much, Amy! I think we should have got another dog while Diva Dog was about 7 or 8 but, we didn’t and now are hesitant to get another one. They do teach us a lot about love you’re right about that. 😊

I think this will be our final doggie since we are hoping to travel more, but we shall see. 🙂

Cute pets you had Deborah! (And perhaps still have). When I was a child we had tons of animals in and around the house, a dog, a cat, hamsters, parakeets, goldfish, rabbits, you name it. Not anymore, but I still do like dogs a lot!

I grew up with cats and dogs as well. Both Diva Dog and Box are gone now. We haven’t felt ready to get another dog since Diva Dog’s passing in late 2018.

I agree with Steve about the problem with pets. But when they’re with us, what a joy, at least mostly. 😉. When our girls were younger, we had gerbils for a while. I never realized how strong their teeth are. They could gnaw on hard plastic and had to to keep the teeth from getting too long. The honeymoon ended when one died during the night and the other had chomped on it. We gave away the survivor!
Thanks for participating, Deborah!

It is something you have to think about before getting a pet isn’t it. We knew Guinea Pigs had a short life so prepared #1 Grandson about that. It was still hard when Box passed. He was 4 years old a bit shorter than we thought.

That’s what happens with animals whose lives are so much shorter than ours.

That’s one handsome Guinea pig! My fox squirrel and prairie dog were fun (most of the time), but they weren’t nearly so good looking!

Box was cute. He never warmed up to being held and cuddled though or having another Guinea Pig with him. He was a loner which they say is really unusual for Guinea Pigs!
