"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Last night we noticed that our Guinea Pig, Marceline, was very lethargic and not eating.

This morning she wouldn't eat and hid her face from me in the corner of the cage. When I picked her up she'd lost a lot of weight and her breathing was labored.

We called the Vet and found out the small animal vet was on vacation so they referred us to a vet in San Ramon.

So we scheduled a visit with them this morning, and I woke Matilda up so she could go with me. I went to get coffee and when I got back, Marcie had already died.

We were so worried about her sister, Prubs, when she had surgery a couple months ago, but she came through that fine.

It happened so fast.

In a separate post, I wanted to share this essay, which Javachik shared elsewhere: "Baseball, barbecue and losing freedom this Fourth of July." It's an incredible piece. [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

We put Prubs up to Marcie, and Prubs was vocalizing the way pigs do when they call to each other. Basically the "where are you?" call.

I'm sorry, David.

Oh, I'm so sorry about Marcie. Poor pigs and family.
