Sonnet
Adult Guinea Pig
2012-2017
Radish. What can I say about you? You were the cuddliest little guinea pig I've ever had. Yes, you did steal Chutney's food, and you were something of an escape artist, but you were always there. Even so, I had no idea that boars could be so snugly until you came along. You loved attention, and being up on my shoulder, or wriggling under my hoodie and flopping. You'd get so relaxed that I'd end up with a wet patch on my shirt.
Yeah, I don't really miss that part, to be honest.
Honestly? You were the guinea pig I had the strongest bond with. And, truthfully, you broke my heart last year when you died so unexpectedly. I miss you still.
