I posted a picture of my cage cause I had just done a spot clean like I do everyday. I recently had gotten sick and we could not figure out why or how and I was so afraid of getting them sick in case it was covid so we moved them to the garage. The garage is basically a room its well lit heated all that jazz. I always wanted to post on here and I thought it was a great time to, so I did. I was happy and they were happy. The next day goes by normal, but around 5 I went to check in them. If you notice in the picture there is a step ladder so I can reach the top loft to clean it. My dog had climbed this and entered the cage and killed my guinea pigs. She's relatively small and very friendly but never really interacted with the pigs before. I was devastated because these are my first pets I have fully payed for and taken care of but I also love my dog to death. Its not the dogs fault I blame myself relatively but I was just in so much pain and I wanted some empathy so I posted them on here. I only like reddit to really just see things, I don't post a whole bunch like other people. But I knew if I posted the story redditors will reddit and be ass holes and blame me. Somehow even in a small community like this the toxicity of this app came out and I was blamed without even giving a story. I am so upset about it still and having to explain myself to strangers who think I'm sketchy is not exactly the most fun thing ever. You think I wanted them to die? Why would I want this? I owe you guys nothing. Thank you to those that said good things and gave me the hugz award.
