Junior Guinea Pig
I lost my beloved Liddie on 4th April after falling ill with pneumonia. She’d had a history of URI’s and after further tests at the vets revealed an underlying heart condition. She was due to start the medication for her heart on Good Friday.
This is one of my favourite pigtures of her – doing her best impersonation of Dougal from the Magic Roundabout!
I adopted Liddie and her cage mate Ace (please see separate tribute post for her) from Danielle (dan2sl on this forum). Due to circumstances beyond her control she had to rehome 5 of her beloved babies back in 2009 – 3 to PiggiePooh and 2 to me. I remember when she arrived at my place with her boyfriend on 20th Sept 2009 with a car load of piggie stuff – CC cage, food and of course with gorgeous ladies Ace and Liddell (Liddie). I was so excited, I could hardly contain myself. I felt desperately sorry for Danielle who looked so gutted.
Liddie please know that your original mummy loved you as much as I did and she was desperate to find you and Ace a wonderful home together. Out of all the offers she had I am honored that she chose me. My life has been so full of joy to have had you around. I miss you squeaking at me whenever I opened the fridge and I miss your little face peeping up at me when I approached the cage. I always kept in touch with your original mummy – she always asked after you and I sent her pictures and updates.
Liddie was such a special little piggie. Everyone who met her loved her. She was unique in not only her looks but her character too. She was fearless – especially where food was involved!
My sister and her boyfriend would look after my small tribe of piggies when I went away on holiday and they really grew fond of Liddie as she was the only pig bold enough to stand in the middle of the cage looking up at them going ‘Oi! Where’s my treats you lot?!’
When you fell ill and stopped eating, I syringed fed you and I had hope. I even took you to work with me so I could feed you every 3 hours. The day before you passed you seemed brighter and had more energy and my heart sang. Then April 4th came…
I knew when you refused to accept water – allowing it to trickle out of the side of your mouth that it was all over. I cuddled you for an hour and I could hear you wimpering. I briefly left you for a while and when I returned you started to pass. Thank you Liddie, for waiting for me to be with you. I’m devastated you left me but I take comfort that you’re now with Ace popcorning freely at Rainbow Bridge.
Love you forever xxxxx
