Junior Guinea Pig
Today marks one week without my girl. She passed at 8:56am on Sunday the 7th of April.
I just remember picking her up, her making a little sound and going in my arms less than a minute later. The night before she licked my lip, she never really licked my face or anything but she was struggling with movement and her poops were awful. As she reached out, she tried to scramble up onto my shoulder where she loved to sit and instead licked my lip once. I do believe she waited for me. It brings me comfort to know she did.
I first got the girlies on the 12th of may 2018. They were my first pets essentially and my god i couldn't wish for better little friends.
Pebbles was so timid when we got her it took me nearly 6 years for her to finally be comfortable with my presence. I knew she enjoyed my company as i would often find her sprawled out in the cage having a snooze. I even managed to capture her yawning on video once.
She wasnāt just my little friend, she was pumpkins companion for over 6 years. They were together before I got them, i am unsure how long before but they were both pretty comfortable with one an other by the time I got them.
I am lucky to say she didnāt really have any health issues over the 5 and a half years we had her, only in the 8 months she declined. It was a slow and steady decline once we got told she had heart failure, this meant that I have got permanent pictures of her insides (through x-rays) which are pretty interesting to look at.
I donāt think the loss has really hit me yet as she was the first pet Ive ever lost. I think about her, cry for a minute, then recover as if nothing happened. Its one of those dull achey feeling when you know something happened thats upsetting. It follows me everywhere. I work at my local riding school, they also have a pony called Pebbles. This pony has the same facial markings and colouring as my piggy pebbles.
What is really difficult about her not being here is the empty cage, I have pumpkin but shes getting on now too and is missing her best friend.
Rest easily little girl
