Nutmeg

Yesterday, October 17, we had to help our son make a hard decision about his beloved Nutmeg -- the guinea pig. Nutmeg was 3 years and had been suffering with cancer since March. She had a very large tumor as well as numerous small tumors. After prayer and discussion with the Vet we decided that the humane thing to do was to 'put her to sleep'. Alex was a courageous 11 year old. It was so hard, but he feels he did what was best for Nutmeg. We miss her so much. Now Alex will focus all his love on Cinnamon and remember Nutmeg fondly.
