My dead Guniea Pig will have to spend extra months in the freezer
With this weather, I don't think we'll see the spring thaw until about Mid-June! We'll just have to have his Burial Services then.

Got about 10 inches SO FAR and it's supposed to continue on till early afternoon..... and that's on top of the approx. 3 feet we already had.

Oh well. At least it's cozy in here and we have plenty to eat. The freezer is crammed full!!! :evilgrin:

JUST KIDDING!!!! SHEEESH. :-) I will really miss my Pig.

This post is written in loving memory of Steve. May he RIP :-( (As soon as I can get him out there)

1. Don't feel bad...
...we had our dead bunny in the freezer for a year and a half. We kept forgetting he was in there (he was vacuum-packed and wrapped in aluminum foil), but finally got him in the ground this past fall just before the freeze-up.

3. I can see how that would happen where you are
The thaw there in Alaska must give you a REALLY short window in which to bury dead pets. Sorry about your bunny. :-(

8. We generally have from May to October for burials...
It was sad about the bunny but he was 10 years old -- probably the oldest bunny in captivity -- so he had a good life.

2. They are really sweet creatures -- I used to have a pair
Now I have a dog the size of a Guniea Pig <grin>.

7. They were originally bred in Peru...
...as meat animals, but it's not a good idea to eat any animal that died of its own accord.

6. I've buried 4 of them and am still in mourning for the last two who died
a year and two years ago, respectively. And then there is little Toastie who died in 1997. Damned, I can't get over that little guy. Cuddles was my first.

9. Can't you use gasoline and do a cremation on the driveway?
