I had a couple guinea pigs, but I'm really allergic to them so I had to give them to my sister.  Then she got more so I couldn't even go into her room.  One of them ended up dying last time they were out of town and I was housewatching.  I went to feed him and saw he was about to die, and I just wanted to pick him up and hold him but I couldn't 
 
  
Make sure you keep your yorkie away!  They do not like guinea pigs one bit!
