Ode to a Guinea Pig


Trigger lounges around in her cage
On this past Friday morning the Wood family mourned a sad loss in their extended furry/feathered family, Trigger the guinea pig passed away peacefully in her cage at the ripe old age of 2 1/2 years. She will be sorely missed by all of us. It is already eerily quiet downstairs (that's a considerable feat when you figure that Mischka's meow alone can wake the dead- no pun intended) without her inevitable squeals of desire whenever anyone rustles a plastic bag- she was quite convinced that these crinkling bags would contain hay- one of her most favorite treats in the whole world. She also brought joy into our world when Grandpa Lancaster was alive and would look forward to a section from his daily orange every morning like clockwork. She was a sweet little creature and we miss her.
