I Accidentally Killed My Pet
When I was about 15, my brother and I had a pet guinea pig called Alexis. I can't quite recall how, but we discovered that Alexis loved chocolate pudding... so from time to time, we would put a tiny bit on a teaspoon and let him lick it. He would always eat it so enthusiastically, making happy little grunts as he did!
The morning I turned 16, Alexis fell sick. He would lay in his cage, moaning sadly, looking like he was in pain. he died before the vet had a chance to come and check on him. After chatting with us and hearing about the chocolate, the vet said poor Alexis probably died of cirrhosis... we felt terrible. We didn't realise that guinea pigs couldn't eat chocolate. We never meant to hurt him!
