RIP Dot
Dot died today. When I drove over to Pomona yesterday, Julia told me that Dot suddenly stopped eating and moving around sometime the night before. I took her back and caused mucho complications in the process because my mom promised my paranoid aunt that I wouldn't be bringing the guinea pigs back after I returned during the July 4 weekend. (She was convinced they needed to be "sanitized" beforehand and kept calling my mom to tell me - but you don't sanitize a guinea pig!)So I had to leave Dot overnight in the car after mucho force-feeding. Last night I would have given you a much more entertaining rant about that but I'm too exhausted and upset to do that now.
I got up at 6:15 to see how she was doing and try and feed her some more. She wouldn't open her mouth to swallow and didn't appear to be blinking. The vet's office didn't open for another half hour so I didn't know what else to do but hold her until she went limp. :(
I spent the next half hour crying and talking to my mom. She said that at least Dot got to be with me in her last moments, so she was probably happy. Now it's a question of seeing what I can do with her body and hoping that Squee didn't catch whatever Dot might have had...
