[Gpdd] [RAINBOW BRIDGE] Condolences for Sooty

[DebJonSara at aol.com]

We were so sorry to read that Sooty had gone to the Rainbow Bridge. We  
looked at the photos on your website and can see she was the cutest little  piggie. 
How ironic that she was first to leave when you were worrying about how  she 
would cope when Silky's time came to go. We are so very glad your vets are  
going to look into things further to find out exactly what the mass was. As you  
say, in this way, Sooty could very well help many other guinea pigs to live  
longer and more comfortable lives, so she is a little hero in her own way. We  
are curious to know how old the vets considered to be "too old" for  surgery?
 
Please don't label yourself "an incompetent person" just because the lump  
had grown to a considerable size before you noticed it. Piggies are experts at  
hiding any kind of illness, and everyone on the gpdd knows that slaves who  
subscribe to it are the ones who care the most for their piggies - that is why  
we are here. 
 
We send hugs and wheeks all the way from France to you and Silky, hoping it  
may bring just one tiny grain of comfort to know that people all over the 
world  who are members of this special community understand, and wish you well.
 
Debbie and the 13 Dolly Mixtures
