Skittles was a great guinea pig. She was donated to us by my nephew Wyatt, he had raised her for a few years and decided he no longer had time for her. Garrett jumped at the chance to have his very own pet! He wanted to rename her Sandy, but Wyatt told him her name had to stay the same, so she became Skittles Sandy Krueger the day we brought her home.
Garrett loved holding and petting Skittles. Delaney and Lucy...not so much! Garrett was a great pet owner. He woke up every morning and first thing he'd feed Skittles without being asked! He always let me know when she was running low on water. And once a week we changed her bedding and let her out of the cage to play.
Now she is in Heaven without a cage running free with her guinea friends! We'll miss you Skittles.
We burried her under our apple tree last night. Garrett was very sad that she had passed, but by this morning he was taking it much better and was even able to talk about it without crying. His main concern this morning was this:
If Bird comes over she'll want to see Skittles like she always does, and now she wont be here"
I told him Bird's mommy would tell her that Skittles was gone so he wouldn't have to explain it. He's such a great kid and Skittles really was a great pet!
RIP.
S is for Skittles Sandy Krueger
