Sweet Potato
Adult Guinea Pig
As some of you may already have read on my other thread my lovely sweet potato passed over the rainbow bridge last night.
Sometimes two Guinea pigs are so well bonded that even the rainbow Bridge can't separate them for long. We brought both our babies home nearly 6 years ago and they've not been apart ever since. So of course when our Gundam crossed the bridge on Friday my thoughts went straight to his brother and best friend. Spud was eating and pooping just fine but something was a little off he spent hours stood at the top of the ramp looking out for his friend and was wheeking louder than ever. We found him last night and I knew his buddy had called for him. I sat with him all night having a last cuddle that I wish could have lasted forever but sadly he had to go taking a huge chunk of my heart with him.
Gundam was Connors piggie and Spud was mine wether we liked it or not they chose us and stuck by us through all our highs and lows. He was a real snuggle bug he'd sit and watch TV with me for as long as I'd let him. He was a confident little lad and had recently learned to let me pick him up without running for cover. He was always happy to sit with any of our guests that needed a little cosy piggie time. I swear his hugs had healing powers especially for those emotional wounds that only time and a spuddle could ease.
Spud was always the dominant boy but Gundam was the adventurer anything new I gave them Gundam would be the first to sniff about and explore and then once he knew it was safe Spud came over to steal it. Maybe that's what happened when the gates to the rainbow Bridge opened up in their cage. These two were a team Gundam the bar biter and Spud the wheeker with their teamwork and expertise there was no human that could ignore their attention seeking power. And when it became time to bite on the bars of heavens pearly gates I'm glad they did it as a team.
Spud was always a cosy boy but in his old age even more so. Cosy tunnels, cuddle cubes, corner hammocks you name it Spud would kick Gundam out and claim it as his own. I remember how happy he was when a few weeks into piggie ownership we decided fleece would be so much easier to manage than wooden bedding. It must have felt so good on his little toes because he ran around in circles until he'd tiered himself out and had to take his first cosy fleece nap.
Run free my baby eat all the blueberries in the sky but maybe share a couple with your brother.
