I can hardly believe this but this morning I found my cheeky chappy Christian in his forever sleep. His head was resting on his paws which were on the food bowl so he passed over to The Rainbow Bridge quickly and didn't suffer.

Christian was born on 5 May 2016 along with Dennis (RIP) and Meg.

Christian was a cheeky and very loving boy who always wanted to know what was going on. He could be a bit bossy and a in April 2019 staged a coup and became head of the herd taking over from his Mum Velvet who was :yikes: :yikes: DA BOSS:yikes::yikes: (cue music from shower scene of Psycho). It was then I had to split my herd of 5 as he didn't appreciate Dennis being with "his" girls.

Christian was a happy go lucky boy who had arthritis in his spine but that didn't stop him from doing anything. He would chunter away wherever he went letting the others know where he was at all times.

Goodbye my handsome Silver Fox I will miss you patrolling the front of the hutch and licking the mesh with your little pink tongue asking for your fix of Metacam.

This was such a shock to see this morning Betsy.
I am so sorry you have lost another one of your beautiful boys so soon. 😢

So sorry. He went peacefully and is now popcorning over the rainbow bridge.💔🌈
 
Aw no! I’m so sorry Jackie, what an awful run of bad luck, sending hugs, Christian sounds like he toddled over the bridge in great peace to be with his Mum and little Dennis x
Sleep tight handsome Silver Fox Christian 🌈
 
Oh no, really sorry, so sad to lose both Christian & Dennis so close to each other. What a shock for you, 🤗🤗🤗
 
Oh no! 😭 Not Christian as well, after only a few days of losing Dennis. I'm so sorry for your loss @Betsy. 😭 Big hugs to you. :hug:

Popcorn free Christian. ❤🌈
 
Oh no, I'm sorry you have lost your handsome silver fox now also Jacky. 😪😪
What a terrible shock for you.
He was a forum legend and will be sorely missed. Hugs to you :hug:

Popcorn free over Rainbow Bridge with Dennis and Velvet, Christian x 🌈🌈
 
This is just heartbreaking news Jackie. I had a good cry when I read this post. I am so very sorry that you have lost Christian so soon after Dennis. Sending you love and hugs at this awful time. I can't imagine the sorrow you must be feeling at the moment.

Christian was such a special boy and a Forum favourite for me. I will miss his lovely little face.

Popcorn free across the rainbow bridge to your family handsome boy.💕🌈🐾
 
I am so sorry to see your very sad news. Your herd are such Forum favourites but I have to confess Christian was a big favourite of mine. I'm devastated for you losing your two boys so close together. Take care of yourself in your sorrow. Xx

Run free sweet Christian.
 
I really dont know what to say Jackie
Christian was a popular little chappie and despite his ills he was active. .
You a great piggie mum and don't think because you lost two deeply loved piggies that you are not. . I learn off others and you are a Brill piggie mummy and your pigs have a great life full of fun and :luv:
Dennis be waiting with lots hay and treats then off to play. . .
We all here to support . . x
 
Oh Betsy I am so sorry that you have lost both your handsome boys so close together, it must be heartbreaking...
If its any comfort it seems like what I remember saying to my daughter when she was 3 or 4 years old and her great-grandma passed away peacefully at home: sometimes people die just because their batteries run out.
Dennis and Christian had long happy lives with you and sadly it was just their time to go... sending many hugs to you and the lady piggies left behind x
 
I'm so so so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy, you're really not having a good time at the moment 😔. What a shock that must have been for you! I'm sure he's now popcorning happily with Dennis and Velvet over at the rainbow bridge. Sleep tight Christian ❤️❤️❤️
 
Oh No :( Jacky I'm so sorry you've lost another so soon. Sleep tight gorgeous boy. Sending my love xx
 
Oh Betsy I’m so, so sorry you’ve lost your gorgeous boy, especially so soon after Dennis. He was a big forum favourite of mine too, such a lovely boy and such a fighter. Massive hugs from me and the pigs.
Sleep tight beautiful Christian xx
 
I'm so sorry Betsy. He had a brilliant life which unfortunately alot of guinea pigs don't get x
 
NO! Really can't believe this. So sorry you have lost your beautiful silver fox Christian, especially so soon after Dennis. My heart goes out to you and little Meg.
Always thought Christian was just amazing, when he had his surgery to remove that huge abscess.
Popcorn free at the rainbow 🌈bridge little Christian, reunited with Dennis and your mum Velvet.
Hugs to you and little Meg.xx
 
I absolutely can’t believe this Jacky. Not the lovable Mr Grey. And so soon after losing Dennis. My heart breaks for you. All I can say is that this little fellow has had the best life possible and lived in a home filled with love. He passed peacefully which is a blessing for him but such a shock for you. Hugest hugs x
 
Oh Christian, I'm so sorry he's left you so soon. A big shock for you, I know from recent experience how difficult it can be to lose piggies close together. Christian was amazing to have faced everything he did with vim, vigour, and lots of suavity. His little pink tongue and gorgeous silver bottom will be a huge miss.
 
No words seem appropriate at this sad time.I'm so sorry,such a shock.just sending my condolences,take care of yourself.
:hug:
 
😢😢😢😢😢
I am so, so sorry that you lost Christian so soon after losing Dennis.
It sounds as if he passed away without even realising what was happening.
You will be held in in my heart 🙏🏼
 
Goodness me, i’m so so sorry to hear of Christian’s passing, it must have been such a shock for you. He was such a gorgeous little man. Take care of yourself in this difficult time❤️❤️:hug:
 
I’m so sorry you’ve lost your handsome “silver Fox” he had such a wonderful life with you and his ladies. I’m sending you hugs, it’s been an awful time, I can only imagine how sad you must be feeling right now x
Sleep tight Christian happy popcorning with your Mum Velvet and your little brother Dennis 🌈
