We use fleece for Vinces bedding. Thats one of his pads so when he free falls it doesnt get on the furniture (which is vinyl not fabric. I learned my lesson) Hazel's (dog) best buddy was Kit our cat that passed and Vinces (guinea pig) wife/partner was Howard. So they have really started helping each other through this rough patch. I personally cry every day but its getting shorter each time. Those freakin animals held my heart in their little furry hands.
