Oh guys I feel so awful, you don't know what I did!! Today was such a nice day out and I was cleaning my sons room and thought his gunea pig would enjoy the nice weather. So I put her outside, cage and all on my back patio in the shade...Kept checking her all day and she was fine.
During the course of the day, the sun changed direction and my husband moved the cage over into the shade, on the patio. The next thing you know I was in the kitchen and notice that dopey LGD Ralph walking away from my patio.not running, walking..w/his tounge hanging out of his mouth (it was hot) I went over to the door, and sure enough the cage was pulled apart..Gunea pig GONE!! Both cats were under the picnic table laying in the shade..no sign or reminents of the gunea pig..She either made a run for it..or the worst ...RALPH ATE IT!! I have seen the cats kill a mouse and Ralph go over to it and swallow it whole. As I said, no reminents of the gunea pig..wonder if Ralph swallowed it???
So to make matters worse, my 4 yr old runs out the door when he hears the bus, and immediatly tells Wes what happened...Poor kid is he so upset..does not want another gunea pig..he wont talk to me..I feel terrible. We scouted the yard all over the place..no sign of her. I hope she made a run for it..
I am telling you..if it is going to happen..it happens to me!!!!
Thanx for listening!!

still waiting for Jessie to kid..it will probably happen when no one else is home, and she needs help and I will pass out..just my luck...
