This hurts

My baby has been gone a week as of tomorrow. People can be so fucking insensitive and cruel. I was talking with my friends/coworkers about my poor baby having a heart attack and someone said ‘so? Not like it’s a dog or something. Who really cares they don’t live long.’ I know Guinea pigs usually only live between 5-10 years (my previous baby made it to 9) but how the fuck can you be that rude? That heartless to downplay someone’s pain like that? I had to leave. These little animals bring such joy and happiness into our lives and people think because it’s not something that can live to be 20 that they don’t matter. My babies gave me some of the happiest years of my life. I really hate people who are that damned mean.
