I truly understand that some may find humor in this. However I have two teenage children that are having a hard time with this loss. The guinea's name was pumpkin. She was less than a year old. She looked more like a rabbit than a rat. The parakeets were sky and sunshine. We will be having a memorial service on Saturday to say our last goodbyes.

Pets are a multi-billion dollar business in this country. People love their pets. That's a good thing.
I work with young children. They often have hamsters or guinea pigs as their first pets. It's how they learn to take care of something or someone other than themselves. That's a good thing too.
The firemen did a great job. Congratulations to them.
Some of us are in our 30s and have guinea pigs too. I got mine from a local rescue who receives too many guinea pig give-ups from parents of children trying to show them how to take care of a pet, then everyone loses interest and no one takes care of the animal. I am appreciative for firemen no matter what and especially pleased to hear they made the effort to rescue the guinea pig.
