On to the "Happy Pepper Patch"

Pocahontas experienced a great loss when her guinea pig died last night. He lived for 5 years, which the vet said is good for a guinea pig. It was sudden and unexpected. Pocahontas was crushed and her brothers were very sad too.

I was so glad we had taken time to take these pictures at Christmas time so we can remember sweet "Toffee".



He was such a sweet and beautiful guinea pig. His coloring was unique. We have not seen any other guinea pigs with this coloring and long hair.


He will be greatly missed, but Pocahontas is looking forward to loving another guinea pig in the near future.



We recently read in By the Shores Of Silver Lake about Jack going to the "Happy Hunting Ground", so Thomas Edison wondered if Toffee went to the "Happy Pepper Patch" as red peppers were his favorite treat.
