Adult Guinea Pig
I never wanted to make this post, it was starting to feel like I'd never have to.
Daisy passed away this morning at 10:24am, surrounded by her friends.
Her and Delilah were almost the piggies who got away, I went into Pets at Home for something else, I was having such a rubbish day, I cant remember why I was so sad but I remember seeing you, running laps around the enclosure annoying all of the other piggies
until you saw me. You came running over to say hello, you gave your trademark head up in the air look of "what did you bring me!?" And I fell in love with you. I laughed for the first time in quite a while.. I wondered if I should bring you home, but I walked away. For about half an hour, before racing back, hoping you were still there. I knew you wouldn't likely get along with the other girls, so you needed a friend. I saw a very unhappy looking Delilah in the corner out the way, I later learned she had an awful URI but luckily she made a good recovery.
Then you went and scared the hell out of me by getting such an upset stomach, I thought I would lose you. But of course you had other ideas!
You have always been such a funny little thing, climbing, screaming, growing yourself into banana pig pose at the slightest inconvenience, usually bail trims or being picked up by the vet
always such a drama queen.
While you have always loved your group if friends, you never had any ideas of power, quite happy at the bottom, submitting even to babies because you just didn't care about anything other than running around creating havoc. Our Crazy Daisy.
Couldn't even spay you without issue, of course you decided to chew your incision and take ages to heal, always had to make a problem out of something
Then 2 years later you developed lumps, in you went for more surgery where a lump was found in your abdomen, I learned that, this time, I couldn't save you. We had to make the most of the time we had left, and we did. You were given just a few short months to live.. even at the end you couldn't be told what to do 9 months you soldiered on, never letting it get you down, always your old self. I was beginning to think it must have been a mistake. But no.. we celebrated your 9 months, and you decided that was enough, it was time to go.
We love you so much Daisy, I'm so proud of you ❤ and I'm sorry I couldn't make it better, take it away. You know I would have, if I could have. I'll take care of your friends for you until its their time to come and be armored by you running circles around them again.
