Most spoiled guinea pig ever. I admit I was really really young when I got her, and with all the things that happened and how much I had to move her (mom's, dad's, dad's, grandma's.) she did get care and she was still very affectionate. She loved to be held. She loved to be petted and unusually she loved splashing in the water in bath time.
She was a female brindle colored Aby mix.
She lived for 5-6 years. She was alone. I thought she'd be fine. So when she DID show signs of depression I got her 2 new buddies. Princess and Amethyst who I still have. They were housed in the same cage after a swift and successful introduction soon after and they lived fine. But Princess was used to being on her own and she was too dominant. The contentiousness fights got worse so I separated them to my grandmother's, where I live, from my dad's which is a 3 minute commute from my house. Now my two remaining are living with me (and grandmother) in a 2x6 c and c.
I came home from school, I was told to go to across the street to my aunt's to deliver some vegetables. So I did. when I got there I was told to put it on the table and sit down. She asked me "how long have you had Princess?" and immediately i knew. she was gone. i looked at my aunt and she nodded. </3 I cried for what seemed forever. I went home and my grandma said she was still in her cage, if I wanted to see her before her burial. I stormed out and told her I wasn't coming back til she was out of the cage. I came back soon after and she was placed nicely in her favorite towels and fleece in an old shoebox. she was buried in my back yard. It was a terrible day. My day at school was terrible and coming home to a piece of my childhood, gone, was terrible. it was horrifying. I'm crying as I write this. I mean I love my two girls that I have right now, but not near as much as I ever will have loved Princess. They're not the same. They can't replace her.
I had a video of Princess typing . She used to run across my keyboard while I had her on my lap. She'd try to type with her little feet. I deleted it off my camera. I just couldn't look at her. I have ONE video left of her and sucks. It was their first introduction and it mainly focused on her. I wish I could find the pictures I had of her. </3333 I miss her SO MUCH and I am so sad she had to spend her life with ME. I was young and loved her, and I gave her the best I could and could provide and at the time I had everything needed. I mean I had everything she did need. But all the changes in the years really affected us both.
Miss you girl. You're in a better place.
