Debbie,

My little guy was full of personality and love. I miss him every day but
know it will get better over time. He had a lot of little nicknames and some
I forgot to put in the email. It is funny that they do pick up all these
little names. Even the vet techs loved his name Frasier as my husband's last
name is Fraser. Everytime he would go to the vet, they would laugh and say
Frasier Fraser...they really thought he was quite the cute little guy too.

He is missed dearly and I visit his grave every day to make sure he knows
I'm still there for him. I wish he could have stayed with us longer...I've
stood at his house and haven't had the heart to clean it yet but will do it
once I feel ready to do so. I love the little guy and he will always have a
special place inside of me that I will never forget.

Thank you for your kind words. 

Give your piggies a hug for me tonight.

Brenda


I was SO sorry to read of Frasier's recent departure for the Rainbow
Bridge. 
It sounds as though the little chap and you faced quite a challenge over
his 
final few months, and I am so sorry that in the end he lost the fight,  
although we all know you did the correct and most loving thing for him in
the  end. 
>From your description of him, we can tell he was a real character, full of

personality and attitude, and that he reciprocated the love you felt for
him. I 
 had to smile at all his "a.k.a."'s - isn't it funny how they all aquire 
names  additional to those we give them when they first step into our
lives?! 
Sometimes  I wonder whether they don't send them into our heads via
telepathy.
 
All of us on the gpdd can identify with the agony you are feeling right
now. 
It is exactly three years ago today since my very first guinea pig,
Bafreur, 
lost his fight against pneumonia, and I still grieve over it and wish I  
could have done more for him. As you say, Brenda, these little departed
furries  
always remain in our hearts, and we are privileged to have been able to
share a 
 little portion of our lives with them. 
 
I send you hugs from across the sea in France - may it help just a little
to 
know that others understand and share in your grief.
 
Debbie (and the 16 Dolly Mixtures)
