i haven't posted here in ages, but canyon passed on last night and i wanted to post something.

she was about 3 and a half, and i just went in to see her in the morning. She was lying on her hay pile, which i found strange for her. i went over and looked and her eyes were half open, which made me confused as too why she wasn't moving around if she was awake like that. I bent down to pet her and as soon as i touched her and she didn't move i knew exactly what happened. i just got hit with the scariest emotion i have felt in such a long time. you know, like you can't believe it but you know its true. I immediately fell to my knees and cried for about 10 minutes, because she was my first guinea pig i ever had. after a little bit longer, i picked her up to put her in a shoebox and take her outside to bury her. she was so hard and stiff and heavy, it felt so sad and strange, like she was just a doll. when i got her outside, i dug a small grave and took her out of the box and set her in the ground. i scratched her ear one last time, and said "goodbye piggie" as i cried again. after i finished burying her, i just held her two sisters for a good half hour while i cried some more.

and now my heart just feels a little more empty.
 
Oh love i'm so so sorry to hear about sweet Canyon 8...8...8...
RIP Canyon run free at the bridge little one, popcorn with the other piggies and munch out on the green grass, you'll be so sadly missed by your mummy but NEVER forgotten xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))) and loves from me xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
I'm so sorry. rip canyon, watch over your family at this sad time as they'll really miss you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
I am so sorry to hear your sad news. I have a tear in my eye from reading your story. It sounds like she went peacefully though.
Sleep peacefully Canyon and watch over mummy and your sisters. They love you very much x
 
I am so sorry for your loss. Losing the first piggie you ever had is hard. Rest well, dear Canyon. xx
 
I'm so sorry to hear about Canyon. It seems so cruel when the Rainbow Bridge angels come suddenly for our little piggies but take comfort from the fact that she had a wonderful life with you. She will have passed peacefully in her sleep and will be running free at Rainbow Bridge. I recently lost little Farquhar, who was five and cried non stop for a week. Nothing can prepare you for the love that you feel towards these little animals and when they go it is only natural to feel like your heart is broken. Run free little one..
 
I'm so sorry to hear about Canyon. 8...8...8... I'm crying with you as losing your first piggie is so hard. There is always something so special about the first little gp who put paw prints on your heart. x)

It is hard when we lose them without knowing why, but know that Canyon is over the bridge & being looked after by all the other piggies who have gone before.

Hold onto your memories & give lots of love & cuddles to Canyon's sisters. Believe me, it will help you all.

My manly quintet send hugs & squeaks your way

So sorry for your sad loss - I remember losing my first and how horrible it was. It's no consolation I know but at least little Canyon had a mummy who loved her lots, so she was a very lucky piggie.
RIP Canyon :rose
