On Saturday we had to say goodbye to the wonderful Squeak. She had had heart disease for a long time and finally it caught up with her. It was all very peaceful and she spent her last hour asleep on me in the sun at home before going on her way.

squeak was an older adoption guinea, she was adopted after her friend died and she needed a home. She was very aloof in the early days and took a while to settle into the herd but she established herself eventually and became a matriarch right to the end. She was not fussed about cuddles but loved watching telly!

When we moved house in November we moved them to a lovely shed with a large window overlooking the garden. She spent hours and hours lying by that window and loved it. The sun came through there in the mornings and she loved lying with the sun on her. The garden is old and so is the grass, which must have been very special because she loved it so much! When I took the scissors from the drawer (a sign grass is on its way) she would shout like crazy and rush to the window to watch me cut the grass. Then she would dance up and down on her back legs waving with her front paws in the air until she got the grass. She was doing this just a few days before she passed. And wow did she wheek loudly.

she was a wonderful character, a wonderful friend and we will miss her little character terribly. Goodnight my sweet angel, we will never forget you xxxxxxx

So sorry for your loss but so glad Squeak had a lovely life with you xx. Sweet dreams Squeak.
 
I’m so sorry you’ve lost your beautiful Squeak. She had a brilliant life with you and sounded like the sweetest little girl with a massive character! Massive hugs xx
Enjoy your sunbathing at the bridge gorgeous Squeak ❤️ xx
 
A beautiful tribute for a beautiful girl.
She was lucky to have found such a lovely home when you adopted her.
Be gentle with yourself as you grieve
 
Thank you everyone for your lovely responses. This forum helps so much when you are going through the grief of losing a beloved friend. Its one of true places you can demonstrate your grief and share memories which means a lot.

She has been cremated now and is in the same casket as her true love, Heath. Sadly the girls she has left behind are missing her more than I anticipated (they did get to see her body for an hour after) so they are getting extra special cuddles. We are all missing her vocal celebration of breakfast time in the mornings :-(

That's lovely things to say. I'm going tho a bad patch with my piggie Florence she's only 3 and at vets now.
You keep loving them others x
 
Poor Florence, I do hope she is OK? I think thats the worse bit when they are sick, you feel so helpless. Sending healing vibes to her x
 
I am so sorry to read that you have lost the gorgeous Miss squeak. She was utterly stunning.

Huge hugs to you at this very sad time I hope you’re doing okay, please be gentle to yourself.

Sleep well gorgeous little lady

RIP Squeak
