Junior Guinea Pig
My big man died last night. After a year long battle with teeth trouble and abcesses it seems cancer got him in the end. I honestly can't believe he's finally gone after everything he went through, I was so sure he'd come out the other side and live a long happy life. I remember the vet saying to me that the long term prognosis wasn't good the first time she saw him and I was so convinced my boy would prove her wrong. Which he did for a while. He was a fighter till the end.
I'm relieved he died at home, with his girlfriends, in a place he knew and felt comfortable in but the hole he leaves in our lives is enormous. He truely was a one off pig. It sounds like a weird thing to say but I felt close to him because he was so high maintenance, he'd had so many health problems my constant worry about him kept him in my thoughts no matter where I was or what I was doing. It also made me very protective and love him so much more because he'd been through so much in his little life.
Goodnight my lovely boy, I'll love and miss you forever. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
