Sarah-sore
Teenage Guinea Pig
with tears streaming down my face, I am so heart brokenly devastated to say that Rusty crossed over the Rainbow Bridge to be with her sister early Saturday morning.
Honestly, I don't even know what to say or how to say it. I knew this was going to happen but I wish it didnt. After Lillith died, Rusty you were never quite the same. I saw you slowly slip away and there was literally nothing I could do. The vet just said it was old age, but I knew it wasn't that because you were only 5 and it wasn't until Lillith passed away that I started to lose you too. You held on for 4 months until I lost you too. You still had Allie but you and Lillth had such a special bond.
Things were starting to get better. We were finally healing after losing Lillith. The house was a lot more quiet without Lilltih but we were adjusting. Now we have to adjust again. Now we have a huge cage for 4 piggies but only have 2 little piggies and way more huts, and water bottles and food bowls, etc. than we need.
I know I shouldn't have favourites but I couldnt help it and you were my favourite. You and I had such a special bond, Rusty and I just can't believe you're gone. I don't want to believe it.
I'm SO happy I had those last 4 months with you though. before Lillith passed away I was ignorant to all you piggies and I didn't spend enough time with you. But at the end I made sure I held you at least everyday and you always had fresh fruits and veggies and water. I miss our daily snuggle time. I miss your little piggie kisses and how sweet you always were. I miss you so much Rusty.
I know you said goodbye to me. The night before you passed I had taken you into my room and I had an alarm set so every 2 hours I could make sure you were drinking and everytime you drank a little less.No matter what I did. And everytime I woke up you were on the side of the cage right by me, the cage was so close that all I had to do was reach in and move the water closer to you. I should have known something was wrong when I woke up for the day and you weren't there. You were in your hut and you were gone. And I think it wasn't really until yesterday that that truly sunk in.
You were my Rusty baby girl and miss you so so much it hurts.
I've been trying to snuggle and care for Callie and Allie but its so hard. I feel like I'm replacing you with them and I dont want to replace you.
I am happy youre with Lillith now though. You two were so close, even if Lillith did drive you crazy. You loved each other so much.
I honestly never thought I would ever love and morn and grieve over one single guinea pig this much but you always were a special piggie. I love you so much Rusty and I hope you and Litllth are happy being reunited again.
Rest easy Rusty babe.
