Note: I thought I posted this last week, on the 8th, but apparently I only saved it, and didn't submit.

All my precious g-pigs are dead! O_O

This weekend, Ron died while I was over my friend's house.
My mom could have called me, but did she? NO.
She let me go over 24 hours without knowing,
and when I came home hoping to cuddle little Ron,
HE WASN'T THERE.
he shouldn't have died; he was too young.
Alex was too young, too.

They both died from stopping eating and drinking and stuff.
Plus, since it was a few weeks, the deaths probably were related.
I'm thinking it was from this new bag of food we bought or the treats we got them for Christmas.
I'm getting it all tested,
and if there is something in there that caused their deaths,
I'm suing the goddamn company.
And winning.
How DARE they ruin the creatures I've spent three whole years caring for, loving, and treating like my own kin?

And maybe, if it was the food that killed them, I'll also sue Bush for freaking de-regulating everything he could.
Cuz I'm sure before he was in office, this stff was properly regulated and this could never happen.
But the past few years, there's been quite a few cases of this crap food coming from China and stuff.
A bunch of dogs were poisoned last year from their food.
GRRRRRR, they make me so mad!

Everytime I pass by the empty cage, I turn towards it expecting to see the excited face of little Ron.
But it's just not there, and then I feel even sadder.
It's just empty, lonely...
Why did this have to happen?!
;_________;

Here's a pic of him looking out of his cage to greet me:


I... I can never cuddle him again...
;_______;

So, yeah... they're all dead now.
But, I may get another one, for a few months.
My parents don't want to take care of it next school year, when I go to college, so someone in my 4-H group will have to take it.
That's being arranged though, and it's likely I'll get it.
I don't know if I'll have him/her post about games or not, though,
since I'll only have him for a few months.

More Sad News...

We... I, Ron, have some very tragic news to break to you.

Alex seemed to be getting better, but then he got worse.
Much, much, much worse, and quickly.

A few days ago, he was happy, his foot was pretty much all healed, and he was seemingly healthy.

However, he was far from healthy.
He began to feel sicker, and then stopped eating.
Larissa forced him to eat and drink, and was going to take him to the vet today, since her health checkup she gave him pointed to him possibly having some type of cancerous infection near his behind (which was also inhibiting him from 'emitting waste' correctly).

Well, apparantly, Alex was sicker than anyone realized.
He was alert yesterday, though a little depressed and lethargic.
We were pretty sure that he would make it at least one more day, and get better once the vet checked him out.
But, unfortunately, Alex could not hold out until then.
Last night/early this morning (between when larissa went to sleep at 11 after comforting Alex for an hour and when she awoke around 6 am), Alex closed his eyes and died, while I nuzzled and cuddled him, trying to make him feel better.
She told me to help him out and do my best to comfort him, which I did.
(I would have done it anyway, of course.)
I just wish I could have done enough for him to live a bit longer...

I mean, yes, death is a pert of life, and we only live 4 to 6 years (Alex was 4), but i just wish he had felt better before he died.
I mean, diseases like that are quite painful and unconfortable...
Alex handled it very well, though. I'm proud of him.
He didn't whine or complain much at all.
I suppose he knew, inside, that his time had come...
I suppose we all knew he wouldn't last much longer, as well.
It's just... very sad.

I remember how happy I was when, at 1 year old, Alex came to live with me.
I finally had a friend to be with!
And when Zelos came, it was even more great.
And when Zelos died, Alex and I comforted each other.
It was only two months ago Zelos died...
Now, my first friend, Alex, is dead, too, and I'm all alone.

Larissa is sad, too.
We buried him next to Zelos.
Alex was a wonderful g-pig, and I truely will miss him; we all will.

Now, for some memorable photos of Alex...





























I will attempt to carry on this journal on my own, I suppose...
It's going to be tough work, playing all the games without another g-pig.
Yet, I will persevere....

Oh, what am I saying.
This is the "Joural of the Game-Crazy guinea Pigs".
Pigs, plural.
I cannot do this without the others...
I am truely sorry, but I must end this blog now.
Perhaps, one day, I will continue this blog, or start one anew,
but for now, my frieds, I must bid ye, Adieu.

This is Ron, the last of the Game-Crazy G-Pigs, signing off...

Update

Yes, we are aware that we haven't posted in nearly two months.
the bad news: Alex hurt himself, and came down with some sickness.
The good news: he's almost completely better!

But, we haven't stopped playing games.
Out game time certainly has been cut, of course,
but you can look forwards to a Tales of Legendia (PS2) review coming soon.
great game so far; just takes forever to complete,
especially when you have not much time to complete it.
As all Tales games are, we suppose;
it's at least 60-70 hours just to play through the story,
and we've been doing side-quests and item-searching and stuff as well.

Anyway, since games take so long to complete,
we were also thinking about putting little stories about us here,
and pictures of out costumes and things.
Oh, how we love to wear costumes!
We do cosplay (dress as cartoon/anime characters),
but we also wear normal costumes as well (cowboys, etc).
We have a military costume in the making.
Look forwards to those things coming up, too!

Yes, as soon as everyone involved in this blog feels better,
we will get back to a more regular blogging schedule.
It's one of our New year's resolutions, as well. ;]
