Its a very sad day here today ...

our adorable all-black guinea pig Max (6-7 yrs old) passed away last night. I knew the end was near as he had not eaten anything in about 4 days. Yesterday he just laid in his igloo, could barely walk and his eyes were barely open. The poor thing. He was the sweetest guinea pig!! He had the most funky hairstyle. His hair went every which way! We buried him up on the hill that we can see out the kitchen window. Max will be missed :(.
