Tom, the guinea pig, 2008-2012
Tom, the guinea pig, passed away after a short illness on February 8, 2012. Born sometime in 2008, he was a cute little bugger.
He enjoyed nibbling on lettuce, the tops and peels of carrots, and the feel of a kind hand petting his fur.
Arriving in our family along with his cage-mate, Jerry, whom Tom "married" after it was discovered he was a she (Jeri), he was the proud father of three guinea pig pups.
Preceded in death by his "wife," Jeri, and their daughter, he is survived by his sons, Speedy and Spotty.
He was buried in a private ceremony in the family backyard. He will not be replaced.
Thank you, Tommy, for being you.
Ζωη σε σας
