Requiem For A Guinea Pig

Jett: Early 2018? to October 28, 2022

A Noble Guinea Pig and Website Editor. 


It is with sadness that I announce that Jett The Mighty Guinea Pig passed from this world on October 28, 2022. The onset of his sickness was not sudden, but the brave little guy hid his discomfort from his loved ones. When a large growth appeared on his stomach virtually overnight, the end was near. 

Being that his condition was terminal, and his fate was acute suffering, the kindhearted veterinarian euthanized our buddy as he was held by an Earth angel named Kim. We allowed Jett's guinea brother and his hamster cousin to view and smell his body prior to laying him to rest in our side yard.

Not everyone knows that some guinea pigs possess amazing telepathic powers. Not everyone is aware of their keen understanding of electronic media. Jett surprised us by claiming to be the reincarnation of Marshall McLuhan. We were first dismissive of this claim, but Jett's brilliant insights would make us reevaluate the legitimacy of this assertion. 

Jett claimed that he had experienced several cavia porcellus incarnations that allowed him to observe and absorb media without the rigors and interruptions and annoyances of a human existence. He wanted to evaluate media in their current state instead of waiting decades until such time that he could do so unfettered. And of course, he wanted to eat hay.

We will continue to produce "Evening News" without Jett's brilliant leadership. You will be missed, good buddy. You will be missed.
