Doris, where do I begin?
When you arrived at my house years ago, you were living with a rabbit. Although this wasn't the best beginning, I am glad that you ended up here. You were my first guinea pig. My mum tells me she chose you, as the lady opened the hutch everybody scattered except you.. you stood in the middle of the hutch and looked up at my mum.
Here you are the day we got you:

About one month after you arrived you gave us a surprise. You were very lucky to have gone through it all with moving homes and everything else.. but you produced one healthy little bubba, who was later named Dillon..

We don't know how old you were when you arrived, we were never told but you never seemed very young when we got you.

Sadly, after a year your son passed away. We do not know why, but I know that he has been waiting patiently for you.

You have always been a loving, calm guinea pig who takes everything in her stride. Even while you were with Toni the rabbit you showed love towards her..

Later on in your life you took on Annie as a friend, and finally Tilly. You and Tilly, although rocky at the start developed into strong friends who enjoyed cuddling. She would groom you while you lazed on the cosie, and always tried to pinch your cucumber which you loved so much. Tilly has looked up to you, and always wanted to be close to you.

We cannot forget your lazy ways. So laid back but head strong at the same time. Your favourite past time was plonking, combined with looking out the window which I'm sure you did.

The last few months have been tough. We have been back and forth to the vets about your breathing. I couldn't stand to see you suffer, you had been through so much but you were still so strong. I held you at the vets while you were given injections and you never put up much of a fuss. You were a very good girl, and forgave me after a good chin rub which you loved so much.

You had finally improved after trying many different methods of medication and I was hopeful. The vet was very happy with your progress too and I had hope. We thought you had at least another year to go.

I had only just emailed the vets to tell her you were continuing to do well when you deteriorated that night. You didn't seem yourself, you didn't even want your much loved cucumber.. with that I knew something wasn't right. The next morning you attempted some cucumber and grass as well as a couple bites of critical care, but in the end you wanted to be left alone.

Taking your last look out of the window you trotted over to the middle of the hutch where you laid down and rested your head for the very last time.

You were my first guinea pig, and if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have found my love for all guinea pigs. I love you and I miss you so much. But I am happy you passed away at home, and I hope that you are enjoying being reunited with Dillon at rainbow bridge.

RIP my beautiful girl.
Enjoy plonking on the endless supply of cosies and munching on all the cucumber you could want.

My mum and I planted a 'Dianthus Doris' above where Doris was buried which we can see from our kitchen window.

It is still really painful to think that she isn't coming back. She was always so strong and I never realised I'd be saying goodbye so soon. We think she was about 6 1/2 years old.

Tilly has been doing ok, she's not the most cuddley pig but I have been trying. She has been given a temporary 'friend' by the name of Boris that she has taken to.

What a lovely idea to plant the flowers in her memory. Tilly looks very cosy with Boris too.
 
Oh no this is so so very sad, whee're sorry to hear about sweet Doris 8...8...8...
RIP Doris run free at the bridge, i'm sure your darling boy Dillon welcomed his mummy with open paws, together forever again, have fun together popcorning thru the lush green meadows and enjoy munching away on big juicey cucumbers and long sweet blades of grass, you'll be so very very sadly missed by your devastated family but NEVER EVER forgotten xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) and loads of loves from Glynis, Velvet and Onyx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Another little star now twinkling in the sky .................. :(



Thankyou so much for sharing these very special pigtures of Doris x)x)
I see what you mean about plonking!
I'm sorry that all your efforts were just unable to keep this little lady going..... she obviously was ready to go be with Dillon.
Please give Tilly lots of friendly brrrrrrrr's and little nose kisses from us all XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
HUGE HUGS XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 
So sorry to hear this, that was a beautiful tribute for an equally beautiful girl. RIP Doris xx
 
I have just been told by Suzanne Le Good that she has finished my painting of Doris.

When Doris died, the image I had of her was her going up to rainbow bridge in the style of Suzanne's paintings. I have been in touch with her and she has painted Doris for me. I can't wait to share it with you all it means so much.
 
Doris, bless her. I'm sure the painting will be beautiful - a wonderful remberence of your little lady.

Hugs x
