Erika's Guinea Pig, Marshmellow, pasted away this evening. We all had noticed that he was acting strangely the past couple of days, but when she went into her room at 9:00 pm, he was laying in the corner barely breathing. She was able to hold him for a minutue before he gave his last breath. She has had him for 5 years now. She got him from Sharri's cousin, Kris Olsen, when Erika was 12 years old. She was so happy to have an animal of her own and to take care of. He was very smart Guinea Pig. He knew exactly where Erika's room was when she put him down on the carpet, he would run straight to her room every time. He would bite the top of the zipper on Erika's hoodie, and pull down the zipper a couple of inches. She enjoyed having him as her pet. We will be burying him in our backyard, if the snow storm lets up tomorrow. Thank you Marshmellow for being a great pet for our family and especially for Erika.
