This is the hardest post I’ve ever had to write, but yesterday one of the two most important animals in my life passed away. It was very sudden and very heart breaking. He died where he should in my arms and watching him leave is the worst thing I’ve ever encountered.
But now I need to remember him for the good times. Not the poor frail boy who left yesterday.
Bramble came into my life as I was walking one day in pets at home, I had no intention that day of becoming a pet owner, but as I walked past the adoption section my heart skipped a beat. Sitting there was one of the most beautiful guinea pigs my eyes have ever seen. My Bramble. Slowly after that I saw his brother, equally as beautiful and I knew that second I wasn’t leaving without them. I had owned guinea pigs in the past and after hearing their sad past there was no way I wasn’t going to dedicate my life to giving them the best remaining years they had left. They came to me around the age of 4, relatively old guineas and I’m happy to say that I got to share a year and half with my Bramble before he slipped away. I loved more than I have ever loved and I miss him already more than I can bare. I hope these pictures do some justice as to how gorgeous he was.
He was the less dominant out of the two boys, in fact he was ever so shy at first. After about 9 months of cuddles Bramble however was the first of the two to start weeking and greeting us as we walked in the door. He loved his cuddles and finding a (sometimes quite creative) spot to hide! That did not mean however you could get away without stroking him. He’d nuzzle at your hand till you gave in, and regularly climbed onto my chest to brush his face against mine. He loved the spot between my neck and my shoulder to rest his weight. Bramble was also besotted with his brother Bilbo, and spent a large amount of time trying to cuddle up to him. Bilbo, with his firey, bold personality would only ever put up with this for so long before trying to avoid Brambles constant desire for snuggles. Bilbo would always have to give in eventually! Poor boy! Smothered by the love of a soppy guinea pig.
Bramble will always be a gentle loving soul and I am so devastated to have to say goodbye. I hope you have a wonderful time on rainbow bridge my gorgeous boy. You truly are the love of my life. xxxxxxxx
Sorry for the hundreds of photos!
