BETTY BOOP (8/03 to 4/08)
Tonight Betty Boop died, our Guinea Pig just under five years. She has been sick so many times and kicked back. This time she got sick not two days ago and cataracts seemed to instantly grow on her eyes and she had an infection and her eyes were leaking. I kept them clean and gave her food as little as it was she would take. Then yesterday she ate a little more and today she wouldn’t eat at all so I crushed spinach leaves carrots and apples with water and fed that to her every so many hours because piglets (guinea) dehydrate so quickly. Tonight, she died in my arms. We will rise early tomorrow and bury her properly. She lost her husband Neo, and two children Tae and Kwon and leaves her daughter Gracie and two sons, Alfie and Do. She was a good mommy and a loving baby to us. A personality we will miss. She would come to the cage door upon calling her and give kisses. She was also the strong figure to her children. As little as she was, and she was the smallest of all, she would take no “guff” from them and kept all five in line. She was also the most vocal of all the pigs and I will miss her calling me. If you look through my archives I have a story about her. We love her so…I am hurting already and she will be truly missed. It has been a difficult month for us with the death of Taku two weeks ago today and us still hurting so badly over our beloved dog, at sixteen and a half still our pup and now Betty Boop…it leaves me sad. :(

I am so sorry abut boopers…I am glad I got to see her last night. You gave her the best life ever as you do with all of your 4 legged babies. She out lived so many ailments that they were ready to give up. We kept her going and she thrived. She will be missed. Gracie will be ok, Just keep her with lots of company!{{{{{}}}}Me
Prayers for you Sassy. Come visit me I miss you. Judi
We had a back to back loss and it was hard for us all. Our two family dogs in one month. I set up a place in the back yard and we put pictures and flowers and had a candle burning so that we each could spend some time allowing our grief. My thoughts to you. Blessings.
I am so glad you came by. It is like old times when I get to hear from you. Judi

Ryc: I give all the time to Goodwill, Salvation Army, free stuff on Craig’s list. I think that is why I find so many great buys at the thrift shops. It is fun to give and fun to find a treasure. Judi
Hello Ms. Sassy,
You made your site simple yet good-looking but I see that you don’t write here much anymore!
I want to help people to really get to know God, especially in these troubled times. “I will send them great trouble—all the things they feared. For when I called, they did not answer. When I spoke, they did not listen. They deliberately sinned before my very eyes and chose to do what they know I despise.” (Isaiah 66:4) (New Living Translation)
Sassy, Glad to hear from you. I hope you have the best Christmas ever. Judi
