Bonnie and Sadie

[Jinx]

Bonnie and Sadie were my two girlie guinea pigs in a house of boys. Bonnie was 9yrs old, spunky and ladylike. Sadie was 5yrs old and a bully at heart, we two had many arguments.

My house is quieter and, sigh, yes even lonlier, with them gone. I took their deaths personally, so it hit me pretty hard. I had both from the time they were but babies.

Sadie developed a respiratory infection, and died within hours of showing symptons. Bonnie passed a week later, of the same thing.

Both received a fine burial; some friends even attended .... All I have are my memories and some pictures.

They are missed and will be forever missed. They are forever my girls.

Old, but not ancient ... Bonnie was almost 9yrs old and Sadie was almost 5yrs. It was a surprise more than anything. One day they were active and the next deathly ill. In Sadies case it was overnight ... I took their deaths personally ... like an attack on my skills as a pet owner. These are the first deaths in 13yrs of keeping pets.

They were my girls, cause they were the only female pets in the house and they were kinda girlie in their actions ... and i am a total tomboy (read as no girlfriends really, all boys) so they wer my girls...lol.
