Scruff (Scwooflington) sadly had to be put to sleep today at the age of 6. She had become very helpless, as she couldn't walk or clean herself. She was so friendly in her last weeks; she would often nuzzle me and whenever I went near her she would lift her head up and attempt to walk but she was in too much pain to walk properly. She was such a lovely guinea pig, from when we got her (2011) to the day she passed. I was 9 when we brought her home, and she helped me through many hard times in school. I'm 13 now. It was a very hard decision to make, considering I had her life in my hands. But it was best she was put to sleep really, as she couldn't live like she wanted to anymore. I will always remember her for eating the portion of food that could feed 3 guinea pigs in one go. She was such a lively and alert piggie with so much personality. She used to popcorn around the garden all the time and run around the bushes over and over again. Her eyes were always bright and full of life, even today before she was put down. Here are some pictures I took of her in her last week.

Goodbye little Scruff. You will be so so so very missed. Love you, popcorn free with your Aunt Floss in piggie heaven. x
 
I'm so sorry, you 100% made the right decision. Hope you're ok. Sweet dreams beautiful Scruff.
 
Ahhh so sorry for your loss. What a lovely smiley little piggie she was, (with the second soppiest piggie nickname in existence!). Bless her on her trip across the rainbow bridge.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know it's a very difficult decision to make but you did the right thing. She was a wonderful little character and you gave her a really good life. RIP little one.
 
I'm so sorry to hear this. She was a very beautiful piggy, and by the sounds of it a lovely friend to you as well. Sweet dreams, Scruff.
 
I am so sorry to hear this, you 100% made the right choice, well done for being so brave and putting Scruff first. She couldn't have had a better owner. You had a wonderful bond and you'll always remember her.

Sleep well little piggie
RIP Scruff

So sorry that you had to help your fur baby to the Rainbow Bridge. She was lucky to have such a caring owner. Hugs to you.
 
Thank you everyone. I was just about to go and check she was okay then I realised she wasn't there anymore. It's so weird, I think it will take quite a while for it to seem normal. :'(
 
My deepest condolences - it must be so difficult for you to make such a decision, but I am sure Scruff knows you had her welfare as the top priority. And what a lovely smile she had, your Scruff! I, too, look back from my desk and wonder why Peaches are not wheeking to me..then I remember :( Big hugs and take care of yourself well!
 
I'm sorry to read this, it's heart-breaking when they reach that point where you have to help them onto their journey to the Bridge. She was beautiful, and you gave a her a very good life.
Huge hugs to you. Be young and free at the Bridge little Scruff xx :hug:
 
Thank you both for your kind words. xx I made a little video of pictures I took of her over the years if anyone wants to take a look. The song in the video was playing on the radio before she was taken to the vets to be put to sleep. It was quite strange that it was really, since it sounded a lot like Scruff.
 
What a lovely tribute you have made for her. Lots of great photos of her enjoying life, and enjoying your company.
:hug:
