Dawn,
I tried to send you a 2nd pm but it wouldn't go through so I am posting it live.
Dawn,
I had 2 guiena pigs that lasted for 5 and 6 years. They died last year 4 days apart. This is what my husband and I turned to after the lost of his son was little critters that relied on us totally for survival. We spent quite abit of money on them buying them things just like a child. The one I dressed up in dresses and sun bonnets. Now we have a dog that we dress up and she totally loves it and we do too. It's a shame when you have to dress up your pets to get attention but it works. My dog is my baby and I don't know what I would do w/o her. I am to old to bear babies so pets are my babies. I have a 3 year old grandson also, he makes my day when I get to have him over. My grandson and dog is how I survive after all my traumas I have been through.
Please keep in touch, if there is anything I can say to help you, I am here for you.
