Never Take Pets For-granted

[TwoBitts]

Today I lost my pet Guinea Pig. His name was Buddy and I loved him so, so much. He was more than a pet. He was a friend.

When I woke up this morning I thought "This day is gonna be great." but when my parents sat me down on the couch I knew something was off. That's when they told me the news. For a minute or two I had no reaction because, I thought they had to be joking. There was absolutely no way he died, right? When I looked them in their eyes I expected them to reveal the big prank and we would laugh about it. I was wrong. I had never felt more torn in my entire life. I had a break down and didnt leave my room all day.

Buddy was attacked by a coyote and taken from his cage. He lived outside because where I am it's not very hot or cold and whenever it was to hot or cold we brought him in. We kept him in a inclosed patio that had screens on it. The coyote managed to rip through our screens knock over his huge metal cage and take him out of there. No traces left behind except some paw prints and hay everywhere. No blood. No fur. No body. No Buddy.

If you managed to read this all the way thank you. I have one thing I want you to do for me. I want you to go to your pet, whatever kind of pet it may be, and play with it or cuddle with or just say how much you love it because pets don't last long. One moment you could be all happy with a healthy pet and the next moment your beloved pet is torn away from you. Don't yell at your pets, we all make mistakes. Love them unconditionally.

I'm sorry if this is poorly written I'm still grieving and it's 12 am (I'll edit this tomorrow). I just wanted to share my story. You can share your stories too. Every pet deserves to be remembered.

Im so sorry for your loss. I realized the message you're giving a few months back when my cat had to get surgery but we couldn't afford it, we had to put her down. I went to see her to say goodbye and it's just crazy the feeling of grief when you lose your pet, its underrated. People tell you to get over it but they were a part of your life that you suddenly had to flush away. Gone, for ever, suddenly. It's horrible. Fortunately, a local charity paid the surgery for us but I'll never forget the feeling of pure, raw pain and sadness that overcame me. I hope people understand that pets aren't just animals, they are living beings who deserve to be treated with respect and that you should never take the time spent together for granted.

(Sorry this is all over the place, it's really late where I am)

I cannot say how true this whole paragraph is. Also thank you for your condolences. And yah, almost, losing a pet is very scary my dog has had a few close run-ins with near death expirences and the amount of worry you feel is unbearable. My pets are family to me. I want to thank you again for responding to this thread it really makes my day when people see and understand something you post (if you know what I mean, it's hard to explain). So (again) thank you a lot

P.S Sorry if this paragraph is everywhere it's very late where I am too (I'll edit it in the morning).
