Chief Guinea Pig
Senior Guinea Pig
Dear Lola,
I have been worrying about the day I lose you for some months and it pains me to have already said goodbye when you were not even four and a half years old.
Since you were diagnosed with kidney cancer you wouldn't have been able to tell how poorly you really were until a week and a half before you left when you couldn't walk. You and Lily have brought so much joy into my life and I always looked forward to seeing your pink little nose peeking from the bars and brown red eyes looking up at me when I walked past the cage, and it is now painful to not see you there wheeking beside Lily.
You have been such an affectionate and confident piggy particularly with your sassy head butts and arm chewing when having septrin, but you always loved the metacam, and at times the syringe too, so much so that it always seemed like a war to get it out your mouth!
Please forgive me, but we couldn't see you struggle any longer and the decision to have you put to sleep was a very hard one. Seeing you forever asleep afterwards made me relieved that you are no longer in pain, and can seek forever happiness at the rainbow bridge which you deserve.
I hope I have given enough love to you- you certainly have to me.
You have done us all proud at how well you battled with cancer and still be the same in mind. Lily loves you so much as do I and grandma. You will never really be gone because you will always be in our hearts.
Lily knows you are gone, and you have left such a big hole which will never be replaced, so please be happy at the rainbow bridge, and Lily will meet you there when her time comes.
Always loved and taken too soon, night night my little poochington bear.

I am so very sorry, Lola had the most wonderful life full of love with you, please remember that and in the end when she needed you to help her across the bridge you made the best choice you could have for her out of the love you shared. I am really sorry, huge hugs, hope Lily is doing okay
It’s always a sad time losing a loved one, massive hugs to you. A lovely tribute you have written, RIP Lola xx
