Guinea pig heart attacks
So this past week I was assigned to take care of my host family's guinea pigs for a week while they were camping in France. It was pretty standard fare: clean out the hutch, cut grass for them, give them fresh water and put them outside on nice days. Except for their noisy resistance to leaving their cage once or twice, the week passed without event. However, the day after the family got back, one of the guinea pigs wasn't acting its usual squeally self, so Martin took it into the veternarian for a check-up. The office must have been a little much for the poor guy as he keeled over and wouldn't respond to oxygen or CPR. The funeral was held yesterday in the backyard.
Though I've been assured that the passing of our furry little friend had nothing to do with me, I do feel a bit odd. I barely escaped having to explain to a 4 year-old and a 6 year-old why "Topsy" had gone away. Of course, when Emily did find out about the guinea pigs death it only took her a minute two to get over her grief. And she was soon demanding an adequate replacement like a rabbit or better yet, new shoes.

My sister arrived in London on Friday and you can see photos of us running all over London yesterday.
