Senior Guinea Pig
dear chesney,
aka - ches, little chesney, chezzy chops, chezzy choo, mr chesney, sir chesney..
i fell in love with you the very second i saw you. i was browsing the forum and a new post came up with a neutered boar for adoption from barc. i clicked on it and fell head over heels instantly. this was the picture.
i immediately posted asking to adopt you, then pm'd aswell to say i wanted to adopt you, and then posted again on the thread to say i had pm'd! i just knew you were meant for me.
you bonded with me so quickly. i offered you a coriander leaf and you nervously crept towards it and accepted. after that moment you trusted me completely and we were firm friends. you were such a loveable boy. you loved interraction and because you had been neutered, you lived alone for the first four weeks. you enjoyed floor time everyday and we had cuddles every evening. you loved sitting on my knee, wrapped up in a blanket, just happy to be cuddled.
when we chose maisie for you, you were ecstatic. you loved her instantly and she loved you. you chased her a bit but she put you in your place! you were the perfect match and adored each other. you slept next to each other alot, and you loved her grooming your face and ears. you purred so loudly. you romanced her at every opportunity and you just simply adored her. she was your special girl, your soulmate.
you were such a sociable pig. you loved to see what was going on around you. you adored your big pile of hay and ran and dived into it, then pushed it all up with your head, whilst making silly noises. when i cleaned the cage, sometimes you would be so excited by the hay that you would run and dive into the old hay before mummy had even taken it out! 'i've not finished yet little chesney' is what i would say, and you'd run back over to the other side with a cheeky look on your face.
you absolutely adored shoulder rubs and tickles. you purred so loudly, and even purred in anticipation sometimes aswell! we would tickle you for ages and ages, and when we stopped you would look up, and you were so cute we had to give you some more.
you loved playing outside in your run in the nice weather, and wheeked so loudly when you heard us picking grass. this was amazing as you couldn't wheek properly at all. you said 'onk onk onk' most of the time, or spent ages rumbling around. sometimes you would accidently do the loudest wheeks by accident and shock even yourself! if you were snuggled in the hay and thought you were missing out, you'd wheek and run over.
you had a funny habit with your water bottle. for some reason you couldn't like it, so instead you put your whole mouth around it and shook it.
you liked to stand up at the cage bars when we were making breakfast or tea, waving your little piggy nose in the air.
i loved snuggling you. you always wanted to face towards me and nuzzle into my arm. i loved scooping you up, all wrapped up in a blanket and holding you close to me. you even leart the word kiss and would hold your head up for them.
recently you decided biting the cage bars would be a fun game, and you loved to wake up your dan in the morning, and make him get up and make breakfast for you, then teeth chatter at him when he wasn't quick enough! but you would then happily accept shoulder rubs whilst having your breakfast.
we loved how some days you would get out of bed with your hair all tufted. you looked adorable.
i adored your colour, a lovely ginger with a white stripe down your face. the white stripe went to a point on your head and looked like a ponytail. you were such a stunning boy, inside and out. you made us laugh because you had a long snout but a super short body. you always had such a brightness to your eyes, and a smile on those piggy lips. you were such a happy boy.
you had some health problems including having a dental for elongated tooth roots and gaps between your teeth which became infected. you did so well with treatment and you never gave up. you were expected to need regular treatment but you ate so much hay that you never needed another dental.
you also suffered with bladder sludge and a lesion, a fungal infection and you fought them all. you were brave and strong and so patient with me syringe feeding you medicines and syringe food and water. you coped so brilliantly and i was so incredibly proud of you.
sadly this time you tried to fight but your body was shutting down. you looked bloated and gassy and when i checked you, i found a lump. the vet suspected a tumour and it took hold so quickly. leading up to being ill, you seemed to want to be with me more. you stayed on my knee longer. when i offered you the carrier to go back to the cage, you looked at me and stayed longer on my knee.
i hope i did enough to help you darling. i am sorry i couldn't save you. please forgive me for not being with you at the end. i didn't want to leave you but you needed better care than i could give. you did so well and the nurses said you tried so hard. you took recovery food well and you were comfortable and warm, snuggled with your maisie. i hope your last moments were pain free and that you passed peacefully.
i can't bear that you are not here anymore. i love you more than i could ever put into words and i will miss you forever. i will look after your maisie for you.
life will never be the same now that you are gone. but you have fun at the bridge and one day mummy will come for you, and we can cross over together.
please know that mummy loves you so so much. a part of me has died losing you. i love you so much my beautiful special little boy. dan misses you aswell, and maisie.
no words seem enough to explain just how special you are. you made my life so much better. i truly adored you, i hope you knew that. i am truly honoured that i could be your mummy, and feel so privileged to have looked after you.
we will never ever forget you.
night night little chesney, sleep peacefully my angel. x
