Today we lost one of our two guinea pigs, Flippy. This is my children's first experience with the loss of a pet. It's been a lot of careful discussions & goodbyes. 💔
Quite a gut punch on literally the first day of summer vacation.
Jun 25, 2026, 8:21 PM@syntaxseed sorry to hear that. How did they take it?
@wyri It's going ok so far. We've said goodbye & shared our fav memories. Going to give them extra screen time tonight as a mental break & distraction.
Jun 25, 2026, 8:49 PM@syntaxseed glad to hear that. It's not easy, also as an adult. But it's part of life, and it will help them for when they loose grandparents. (Assuming here they haven't lost those yet.)
Jun 25, 2026, 8:37 PM@syntaxseed Oh, man, that's rough - hugs to you and your kids. 💔
@mwop Thanks! ☺️ They're processing pretty well at the moment.
@syntaxseed I'm very sorry to hear that. 🖤
@gnomon Thank you.
