Thanks so much for sharing and for your love of animals. Precious Oreo reminded me of my daughters GP Millie. Keep posting and thanks again. Touched my heart and lifted my spirit.
Oh Dr. Jones,
This is so moving. I cried a little for your dear Oreo.
I can see she was well loved! I hope your daughter will continue to talk to Oreo and that he visits her (and the rest of the family) in her/their dreams!
Such a lovely tribute! Thank you for sharing. I’ll send Oreo Reiki. Blessings!
She was very loved and is still very much a part of our family. We like to think she is keeping an eye on us from somewhere peaceful, and maybe making the occasional dream visit too.
Our fur babies are family members and your loss is felt ?? let me say each of yours so blessed with wonderful HUMAN family during time with you. PRAYERS …LOSS LEAVES BEAUTIFUL SHARING AND LOVE ??
thank you for sharing your loving memories of oreo. guinea pigs are such sweet little pets. i was lucky to have one long ago named “mop” and you have reminded me of what a lovely time we had together.
i am so sorry for your loss. please take comfort in the gift of love and a wonderful life you gave to oreo!
Mop sounds like she was quite the little character too! Guinea pigs really do have a special way of stealing our hearts. We’re so glad Oreo brought back such a sweet memory for you.
So very sorry for your loss.
I’m sure that soon all of those loving memories will bring a smile without the tear… just not yet!
Thank you for sharing this loving video with all of us…

Oreo was a very special little soul, and we’re grateful to have those memories to look back on. The tears take a little time, but thankfully the smiles come back too. Thanks for watching and remembering her with us!
We are sorry for your loss of Oreo. What a cutie. She was fortunate to live in such a loving family after she lost her other friend. From the photos you shared, she looked as though she had a very happy life with you. Bless you.
Thank you doctor fir sharing your memories about your lovely Oreo. It surely touched our hearts on how she was loved and cares by your family and it proved to me that someone who wants to be a good vet is to be an animal lover. I am sorry for the loss.
Oreo was very special to us and will always have a little place in our hearts. We truly believe loving animals is a big part of being a good veterinarian!
So sorry for your loss. It doesn’t matter how big or small, it is always difficult to lose a family member. And, it’s obvious that Oreo was a loved family member.
Dr.Jones-heart felt words for your very well love Little ANGEL Oreo are very true and touching.
The look on Oreo’s face said it all when you called her name! The love and trust she holds for you and your little girl will last for eternity. Oreo is a beautiful soul filled with “Unconditional Love. Don’t be surprised if your little girl feels the touch of her fur baby when she least expects it.
Sending Warm Hugs & Furry Thoughts
Much Understanding and Love!

Oreo was truly a little soul with a very big heart. We were lucky to have shared so many beautiful moments with her, and her memory will always stay with us.
I am so very sorry for your loss of sweet Oreo. Guinea pigs are such wonderful creatures-so loving. Almost 45 years ago we adopted a GP and her name was Nightmare(sorry that’s what my kids named her)The day after we brought her home she had like 3 babies-so awesome. We found wonderful loving homes for them. When we take out the lettuce from the frige she would make that squeaky sound and we all loved her so much. I hope Oreo and Nightmare are playing at Rainbow Bridge together along with all the other beloved animals who resdie there.
Nightmare sounds like she was quite the character! We love the thought of Oreo and Nightmare meeting up at Rainbow Bridge, probably squeaking loudly for lettuce together.
Doc,
My heart goes out to you and yours for the lose of a loved friend, Oreo. We have been blessed by God to take care of his friends, to care for therm, protect them and to love them. When they depart we have grown with the knowledge that we have shared the love of a friend… They will be missed but their menory will always remain…
Thank you for sharing this moment with all of us.

Facing having to let my oldest dog go this week and have been struggling with it for a while. She’s not suffering, but is tired and doesn’t want to stay here anymore. It’s hardest on those left behind. Not matter what species or how long they’ve lived, a soul crosses over and will meet us on the other side.
That goodbye is never easy, especially after so many years of love and companionship. When the time comes, may she be surrounded by love, peace, and a gentle goodbye. They truly leave paw prints on our hearts that never fade.
I am very sorry for your loss. They tug so much at our heartstrings. Thank you for sharing your beautiful tribute and you will see her again someday. I thank God for blessing me with his wonderful creatures. Take care!
Oreo was very special to us, and we feel incredibly blessed to have shared her life. Our animals really do have a way of tugging at our hearts and leaving paw prints that never fade. We appreciate you sharing this with us!
I am so very sorry for your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I know how your heart must ache for dear little Oreo as many of my beloved little loves have crossed over. So I know how you feel. Thank you for sharing your tribute to Oreo, she is cute as a button. What a little love! I am so happy that in is this big, big, world that we all live in together that Oreo picked you to be her family. You must be honored. And I’m happy that she got to be in a home where she was loved and respected, and I’m happy too, that you had the pleasure of loving and respecting Oreo. God bless and take good care…R.I.P. Dear little Oreo. She has gone home
Oreo was truly a little love, and we were so lucky to have her in our lives. It always amazes us how these little souls find their way into our hearts and leave such a big paw print behind.
So sorry for your loss of a guinea pig, even though I have never had one they are precious animals made by God for anyone to have and Love them and all animals. It is hard to lose a family member like Oreo as they are precious babies to anyone who owns one and do make lovely and wonderful pets. God Bless your whole family both people and pets and your families and your love show through pictures and videos you show. Oreo was lucky to have such a wonderful family to take care of her.
Squeakers sounds like she was a little sweetheart! Guinea pigs have such big personalities for such little creatures. Thanks so much for sharing and for the kind words about Oreo.
Sorry for the loss of a dear family friend/member. Oreo was blessed to have been in your family as she looks like she had a fabulous life and she’ll bring out great memories to ye all as well as your other pets that have passed on. We miss them all.
They bring us so much joy and give unconditional love, we’re blessed to have them in our lives too.
In memory of a wonderful Guinea pig named Oreo.
Oreo was such a special little soul and brought us so much joy. We’re very grateful for the wonderful memories she left behind. They really do leave paw prints on our hearts, no matter how big or small they are. Sending blessings to you in Ireland!
I’m sorry for your family’s loss of Oreo. She was a precious member of the family, as are the other members of the family. I believe the grief of an beloved animal is the same as that of a human family member who passes. ( I still grieve the loss of Candace, my sweet basset hound, who passed 3 months ago). Thank you for the reminder to take more photos/videos of the fur babies. Will definitely follow your advice in the future. Oreo will be waiting for you at the end of the bridge for a wonderous reunion.
We’re so sorry to hear about Candace too. They truly become such a special part of our families, and the memories we make with them stay with us. We couldn’t agree more about taking those extra photos and videos. Those little moments become priceless. And we’d like to think Oreo will be waiting at that bridge too!
So sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your special pet Oreo’s photo’s/clips. Our animals unconditional love ….. the great joy they bring us ….. precious times with them, are most certainly to be treasured forever. Blessings to you all.
My sincere sympathies are extended to you. Oreo looked like my Neil, many years ago. Oreo is beautiful. I say is, because she is still here, she only left her physical body. Up to 12 years of age! I have not heard of a pig living so long a life. I worked in veterinary medicine for 28 years and the average lifespan was 2-3 years. I bet she ate appropriate foods for her species. All my love, Kelly
Oreo really was one special little pig, and we’re so glad she had such a long and happy life with us. And yes, she certainly enjoyed good food! We love thinking of her as still being with us in spirit. Sending love right back to you and Neil’s memory.
thank u so much for that touching video. i had to put down my black and white kitty chloe a few weeks ago and oreo reminded me of her. its amazing how pets unconditional love changes our hearts and lives, makes us laugh and comforts our troubled times. my thoughts are with your whole family during this time!
We’re so sorry to hear about Chloe. It’s amazing how deeply these little souls touch our lives and stay in our hearts. Oreo certainly brought us plenty of love and laughter too.
So sorry to hear about Oreo. There is nothing small about a GP. We had a Miss Piggy for 9 years and she gave us mountains of love. God gives us these little creatures and puts no limits as to how much we let them fill our hearts. She overflowed ours.
I see your GP was a study buddy. I had one too but it was a parakeet that used to turn my pages for me. That is what your picture reminded me of sorry to hear about loosing your friend.
As animal lovers, we are so blessed to be given the opportunity to share our lives with our unique & very individual fur kids. In passing, they still continue to journey with us in memory & spirit. Almost tangible at times. So sorry for your loss. May God be with you.
Teared up as I write this.
Oreo may be gone from our arms, but she certainly never left our hearts. Our animal companions have a funny way of staying with us, even long after they leave their little paw prints behind.
Sorry for your loss 🙁 Me and my yorkie male, Budapi, will keep you in our prayers. You’ll see them ALL in Heaven! What a day of rejoicing that will be!!
Thank you so much for your kind words and prayers. Oreo was very loved, and we are grateful for every moment we had with her. Give Budapi an extra cuddle from us!
Your Veterinary Secrets book is my bible. I turn to it first as soon as one of my dogs needs help. I also look forward to your email s so much. You have taught me an awful lot about veterinary care. Thanks Doc. Best Wishes fae Bonnie Scotland. X
That truly means a lot to us. We’re so glad Veterinary Secrets has been a helpful go to for you and your dogs. Sending a big hug to Bonnie in Scotland!
Being a cat person and not having read much about guinea pigs, I had no idea they enjoyed being so close with people. I always thought they lived in their little cages and got taken out and pet once in a while.
Thanks for showing me what dear, affectionate pets they can be! I know you will all have good memories of her and am so glad she found a loving home with your family.
Thanks also for reminding us to take video of our pets. I regret not having done it for my dear Emma, though I have some great pictures of my beautiful cat. I’ll take some videos of my cats at mealtime, when they are the most vocal.
Wish I’d gotten a video of Emma mewing, asking politely for some Romaine lettuce. Sweetest cat ever. They’re all different personalities and we need to remember them!
I also find it useful and healing to journal about pets after they die, remembering their little quirks, habits and lovable behaviors. And some of their behaviors that are irritating — but we love our four-paw kids anyway!
Guinea pigs really can be incredibly affectionate little personalities, and Oreo certainly left us with some wonderful memories. We love your idea of taking videos and journaling those funny little quirks too. Those memories become priceless.
Thanks so much for sharing and for your love of animals. Precious Oreo reminded me of my daughters GP Millie. Keep posting and thanks again. Touched my heart and lifted my spirit.
