A sad day

Last night right after dinner Brandon and Gavin went to give Scout our Guinea Pig an apple. All of a sudden i hear "Taryn, come here." When i walked into the room I knew exactly why he called me in. Scout had died. I told Kaden not expecting a big reaction out of him and boy was i wrong. The tears and sobbing came full force. This was his first real pet other then gold fish. About a month ago Brandon's parents dog Shasta died and he didn't react like this at all. When he calmed down he said to me "Now Shasta has a friend" Gavin heard this and went straight out the back door and sat down on the ground calling for Scout thinking that she would come to him. This morning i was getting the boys in the car to get Kaden to school and saw Kaden waving to the sky. I asked him what he was doing and he said "saying good bye to Scout" I guess its now time to start thinking of what kind of pet we are going to get next and when?
