RIP my beloved little pet

[Rosim_in_BR]

Sorry for your loss, Camille! It is perfectly understandable that you feel bad for now, but have in mind that the best moments you had together will live forever! The shared moments you had, filled with strong feelings, is exactly the kind of thing time will never fade. Decades will come and pass by and you will always remember, and always with great joy, how sweet were all those moments you had together. This is the biggest present Noel could have ever given to you. Look at this through his eyes and you will see!

Camille, I'm so sorry to hear about Noel! Pets really can wriggle their way into our hearts in no time! The loss of a companion like that is always difficult. As other's have said, no one will ever be able to take his place, however, when the right time comes, another animal will come into your life and into your heart.

Camille I am extremely sorry to hear about your guinea pig.

A friend of mine lost 2 of them and always provided them with excellent care, they are very prone to developing weird diseases that can kill them in record time.

Again I am so sorry.

Thank you all for your kind words, even now, a month after his death. We are looking to adopt another one, but not from a pet shop or from people breeding their pigs for the fun of it.
We prefer to make a difference in an abandoned animal's life (like with Noel), so we are looking to adopt one from an animal rescue group. We nearly got one last week, but he was reserved literally minutes before I sent an email to ask about him. So we're still looking for a perfect little guinea pig who will pull at our heartstrings and beg us to take him home.

And thanks for the link Paul! I've been hunting for another cavy forum. I used read a different forum (had to pay to be able to post) but quickly stopped looking there because of all the back stabbing and meanness. Apparently the situation got so bad that the forum was taken down.
