What a bad day

Today was the first day we weren't in the 100's so I decided to take our pet guineas outside. They love out there. It was mid afternoon and their outdoor cage was built out of the sun but I guess around 3p or a little but after the sun was hitting their cage and one of my kids noticed a few of the guineas not moving a whole lot. So we rushed them all inside (we have 6...I kinda went guinea pig crazy after I had Bri) Two of them were fine but the other 4 were nit good at all. We tried cold washcloths soaked in cold water and put them un front of a fan with their butts facing the fan (per website instructions) The littlest one is pulling through but while my dh went to get some pedalite we lost one. Then after trying everything possible we lost another one and a couple hrs. later we were thinking the other guy would pull through but we ended up losing him also. I feel so horrible. I feel like the most rotten person ever. I never should have taken them out until later on. And its ironic that this happened today, on Brianna's 9 month angelversary. I didn't think anything of it. I was just so excited that we were finally getting a cooler day. Another lesson learned the hard way. I miss them. I feel so bad...

I'm so sorry you lost some of your beloved pets!  You sound like such a caring person, wanting to keep even your pets happy.  Like all hard lessons learned in life, this too shall pass.  It will get easier as the days go by.

I did want to say that I love, love, love the word you used - angelversary!  It's fantastic!

I am so sorry to hear this.  I truly believe that pets are just as much members of the family as humans.  I think and fear about losing my dog all the time and I know that I would simply lose it if something ever happened to him (even though I know eventually it will).  Call me if you need anything.  {{HUGS}}

I'm so sorry for your loss of your pets. Don't feel too guilty. You gave them so much love in such a short time. Brianna now has pets with her. *HUGS*
