Rest in Peace, Coco.
My guinea pig, Coco, had to be put to sleep today. I'm so upset. I had her for a good 6 1/2 years, so I became very attatched to her. We noticed that she just wasn't right last night, so I stayed up with her for a while just petting her and holding her. Today when we took her to the vet, they said she had a huge mass in her stomach, and nothing could be done about it. You could see how badly it was hurting her though. I almost didn't care and just wanted to take her back home and pretend nothing was wrong. But that's not reality. She sort of knew she was going though because when she was on the table, she struggled her way over to my hands and shoved her face underneath them so I could pet her one more time before I gave her to the vet. I friggin loved that pig. Here are some photos of her:

...she got over the shyness pretty quickly.
Well, I'll miss her a lot.
