Rosie, the Guinea Pig

Today Regan's Guinea pig, Rosie, passed away. Regan got her on the day after Christmas a couple of years ago. She has been a good pet. I really believe that she helped Regan learn how to be quiet and gentle. She is really the only Guinea pig I've ever known, but I would say she was very sweet & cute. I'll always remember the red beard she would have after eating a strawberry. Another fun memory is from when Pewter was just a kitten. Chuck offered a piece of peach to Rosie who was out of her cage. Pewter joined her and they enjoyed the peach together...it was very cute :). Pewter also liked to bat at Rosie, trying to get her to play. Lucky, our other cat, liked to rest on a chair right in front of Rosie's cage. We all enjoyed her, but Chuck probably spoiled her the most. She would beg the loudest when he came into the room, and she was always rewarded well...tomatoes, peppers, greens, and strawberries fresh from the garden. Sometimes Regan & Dad even let her graze in the strawberry patch. She loved those dandelions too! Rest in peace, Rosie. We love and miss you...
