New Born Pup
I will miss him. He was such a loving and affectionate little pig, he definitely loved a human cuddle and lots of attention. From the moment I first saw him at the rescue centre, I knew that he was the pig for me. I remember so vividly the day I got him, it only feels like a moment ago. He was so shy at first but within a day he was coming up to me and curious to get to know me. It was unfortunate that I couldn't successfully bond him with my other guinea pig Rolo. I think he really did prefer human contact than other guineas, I kept their cages side-by-side of course so they could still interact with each other.
He had such a lovely temperament, whenever he had play time he would always come running over to myself or my partner for a cuddle or some strokes. He loved to give kisses. Any chance he got his little tongue would be there, soggy kisses.
I'll miss the way he would stand on my feet whilst I prepared their meals in the kitchen looking longingly up at me for a little treat, which I was sometimes naughty and gave in to. I couldn't resist those beautiful eyes. And when he would get a treat he would scamper off to his house, nose high in the air with the treat between his teeth as if to declare "Yay! Look what I got!"
I'll miss the way he would perform a little dance when I was trying to put his plate of veges down into his cage. He always spun round in a circle a few times before eating, such a peculiar little thing but I loved his daily rituals like that. He wasn't an overly active and energetic pig, when it was time for play he would usually head for his fluffy bed that was under my computer bed or on the play mat if he wanted to cool down.
He loved to eat watermelon, dill and cucumber. And those meadow hay cookies he definitely couldn't get enough of. He used to push his meadow hay cookie over to the side of his cage so that he could share it with Rolo (even though Rolo had his own cookie!) Playing with toilet roll tubes was his favourite thing, I have bought them numerous toys over the years but when it came down to it, a toilet roll tube was all he wanted.
I cant believe he is gone but I will not ever forget him. I haven't had many piggies in my time yet but he was without a doubt one of a kind. I wish I could of been there at the end for him but due to health and safety reasons I couldn't be. I could tell from his body language at the vets that he knew what was coming and accepting it. Despite being in so much pain and discomfort, he didn't squeak once as I held him close and kissed his little head for the last time. He rested his chin on my hand as I gently stroked him, he was so small and weak.
I know that this was the right thing to do for his well-being, but it hurts so much. The whole time at the vets, I couldn't stop crying. Even now I cannot stop.
My beautiful Badger, my wham-bear, my little sausage, Badgey-boy, tinky tot, noodle bean.
You will be sorely missed my wonderful furry friend
