And we're going with sad.
I've loved guinea pigs for 20 years, but Oni made it real. She's the reason I love Nicky and Olivia so much. She was a joy and we were so close.
I wish I hadn't spent so much time away from her at grad school. I know she was well taken care of, but I wish we'd had more time. I wish I hadn't listened to that first vet that said she was fine when I knew she wasn't. I wish I'd done more.
In the space of October 2007 to October 2008, I lost three family members. She was the last.
It's not October 6, but I'm crying anyway. I will always miss you, baby, and always be grateful I knew you. And always wish.
