i usually dont post stuff like this and wish i had a better picture to post but
my guinea pig mabel died in her sleep tonight and its hitting me really damn hard. she was 5 going on 6 and she was my best friend. helped me get through a lot of shitty situations in the last couple of years, like being homeless. i just miss her so much already and my chest feels so heavy. she was so happy earlier when i was holding her, and she ate, what i guess is now, her last meal right out of my hand
i found the sturdiest box i could get, filled it with the last of her bedding. wrapped her up in her favorite cloth, then placed her inside. put her favorite toys in with her, and a couple of her snacks, then buried her out under the big tree in my backyard.
no one expects their loved ones to just be taken away, so make sure you enjoy literally every moment you get with them.
She looks like a real sweetheart. So sorry for your loss.
