I am not a woman of faith but this past year with the most gentle happy furry angel made me believe that sometimes you must accept a miracle for what it is and be thankful for it.
Chicco came in our lives in a very dark time. We lost my baby dog, Stich(he was 16 but still a baby to me) on April and than we lost our special beloved Nocciola just a week before getting him. I was not prepared for anything. I was in a deep sorrow and felt overwhelmed by the guilt and the shocking mistery of death.
At that point I lost two of the most important members of my life. I remember feeling empty and numbed and I thought I was such a failure and undeserved of what Nocciola and Stich meant for me. The only thing that made me move from that deep ocean og darkness was Lenticchia, who was deeply attached to our Nocciola and wasn't taking the loss of her big sister very well. I started getting worried for her and my husband and I decided to go to the Coseley Guineapig Rescue to see if we could bond Lenticchia with a new mate. I remember the fear driving over. I wasn't ready for a new piggie but Lenticchia needed me to try. I should have not doubted her. We went in the rescue and while the lovely Reta was showing us the girls available for adoption I saw a little clumsy little buddy coming to check what all the fuss was about. We asked if Lenticchia could meet him and for them was love at first sight. I knew two things: Lenticchia was going to be happy and we were going to give a well deserved forever home to that little funny fella.
The first days with Chicco weren't easy, I was mourning so badly but Lenticchia was happy and I thought I could just leave with that.
Chicco was going to make up fell in love tho, he was not going to take no for an answer and so it was. Before we knew it Chicco became a full member of our family, our dearest friend and companion. He was warmth of good things and nice memories, a true spirit of hope and love. You could not be sad around him and Lenticchina, my husband and I never were. Losing him after not even a year it's devastating. He was so good and kind and I so wanted to give him more.
Chicco's Death made me become a womam of doubt but I am certain of on thing. He had no wings but he was a real Angel. We will miss him forever we will love him forever.

A presto piccolino mio.
Ti amo.

Mum and Dad

I am so sorry that Chicco has gained his angel wings so early! But I am sure that there is a little bumbling furry guardian angel trying his best to learn how to look out for his beloved Lenticchia and you!

Some piggies are like an all consuming whirlwind and some are like a life giving rain. Chicco was the latter coming after Nocciola; the seeds that his gentle, healing rain has triggered into sprouting in your hearts will stay with you for the rest of your lives.
He is one of those blessed ones that you do not have for long, but that do change you in a profound way and that leave a legacy well into the future.
 
Sending big hugs during this hard time. Chicco will be watching over you and he will always be with you even if you don’t see him.
I’m so sorry for your loss 💔
 
A real moving tribute to your wonderful little boy, we never know how long we have them for but in his year with you both and his Lenticchia he had the most perfect life so full of love. I am so very sorry for your loss, massive hugs x x

Sleep well handsome boy

RIP Chicco

Just wanted to say, I love the picture of him putting his little paw on my hand. That is so representative of him. I had just come home from work there, and brought back a bag of stuff from the office. He immediately came close to see what was going on, as he used to do, and started looking at what I was taking out of the bag, going around the things so curiously. I remember when we got him, only a few months earlier, he would not dare even come close to us. Here, this was June, it's almost like he wanted to grab my attention with his little hand, I don't know what else he was doing otherwise! I always wondered what was going on in his head, but he really seemed to see us as good companions. I'll miss the little friend so much.
