Thursday, December 15, 2005 Time flies... oh my!

I just looked at when the last time I posted was, and whoops! I'm so sorry!!! I promise worst comes to worst the hunky guys of sci fi will return after the holidays. But hopefully sooner.

Marshmallow - (prior to 2002 - 12/15/05)

My guinea pig passed away today. I love all my pets, treat them all like family. Marshmallow was old for a guinea pig. I'd had her since 2002 at least, and I'm unsure how old she was then. I adopted her from Petco. She lived a long life, and a hard life. Sadly, in spite of my best attempts to get her home in a timely manner she developed heat stroke. Then, I over compensated in dropping her temperature, and we ran to the emergency vet clinic. My free guinea pig ended up costing me $300 in vet bills, and left her with neurological issues. She had a head tilt, but in spite of that lifed a full, happy life. She loved playing with her plastic keys and wallowing in hay. She explored my den in the confines of the little "kennel" I had for her, and loved being the center of attention.

I'll miss her, but I know she had the best care while she was on this earth, and she is now probably romping in thick, lush grass somewhere across the rainbow bridge.

On a happier note, I hope to have some good writing news to share within a few weeks.
