Teenage Guinea Pig
Sadly my fudgie has passed away leaving a very sad Frankie on his own. I would like to share all my lovely pictures and the story of how I came to have this wonderful pair of Guinea pigs 
I got Frankie as a baby from a petshop that was closing down, he was the last one left and he was reduced to £5, he was not in very good condition, he had a ripped ear and was covered in cuts and bruises all over his back! So I decided I had to have him, this is the first time I've ever had a pink eyed Guinea pig and he's gorgeous! We had him a couple of weeks and realised he wasn't happy, he didn't really like anything in life and used to hide away all the time and I thought getting him a friend would cheer him up.
One day me and my boyfriend were layed in bed talking about how sad baby Frankie was and my boyfriend looked on gumtree and called an ad up, I didn't know what he was doing but he said to the lady "do you still have your Guinea pig?" And she said "yes" so he said "is it a boy or a girl" and she replied "it's a boy!"
So off we went to collect fudge, there were no pictures of him on the gumtree ad so I didn't know what to expect,all I knew was that he was being given away for free! I was really excited but I was also worried, incase the Guinea pigs didn't get along! It took around 40 mins to get to fudges house and and had to call the lady up afew times as we got lost! Then eventually we pulled up outside and the lady said "you will have to park down the side road."
When we got inside the house, it was so dirty and stunk of fags and sweat! It was one of the most horrible places I have ever been in! Then there on the kitchen worktop I noticed him, a brown, white and caramel coloured Guinea pig and he was massive! I asked what his name was and how old he was and she said " his name is fudge and he's around 2 or 3". My boyfriend said "do you want him then" and I said "yes!" So as my boyfriend went to fetch the car the lady told me I could take his cage too as he had come with it when her friend gave him to her, but my boyfriend said "that f'in cage is not coming in my car it stinks! Just get the Guinea pig and let's go!" I told the lady that I would send her lots of pictures and let her know how he's doing and she said okay.
So off we go back home, fudge sat on my lap all the way home as good as gold not even 1 poop! I was in such a rush as I was at work later that day so I wouldn't have much time to bond them. When I got home i was so excited and scared, I was in such a rush to let them get to know, I just wanted them to meet eachother, I put them both on the floor and they were chattering their teeth and rumbling at eachother I was so scared they hated eachother, but my mum, brother and boyfriend said they would watch them while I was at work. I was panicking all night at work I didn't want to call home incase it was bad news and they'd had to be separated.
But when I got home from work I walked in and found Frankie and fudge in the same cage snuggled up together! I couldn't believe it! I nearly started crying I was that happy!
Over the next few weeks Frankie really came out of his shell, he started eating new foods and was popcorning and doing zoomies with fudge it was so lovely to see, but there was 1 problem. . . Fudge was like a wild animal! He attacked our hands, made us bleed, ran away all the time. I really felt like I had fixed one problem and ended up with another problem! But I did not give in to fudge! I handled him everyday with a thick dressing gown on so he couldn't bite my skin, I gave him all the attention I could possibly give anyone even to the point I felt like Frankie was getting no attention at all! But after months and months of getting to know him, giving him love, attention, cuddles and kisses I had created the the perfect Guinea pig
He was the love of my life, big, fat and cuddly! Instead of biting he licked instead. I know he loved me as much as I loved him! He was a little angel he would come and sit on my knee when he was playing on the floor and when I shouted him he would wheek to me like he was saying hello mummy
Here we all are having a cuddle on the sofa

I had fudgie for just 15 months when he left me and Frankie for rainbow bridge. I found him huddled up in a corner of their cage shaking and cold. When I picked him up he was limp but still alive, we rushed him to the emergency vets who said they think he's had a stroke or heart attack, I asked the vet to save him because I don't know what we will do without him and she took him into the back and said she would put him on some oxygen. She came out afew mins later and said I'm sorry he's gone.
I can't stop crying I feel physically sick when I think about it I love him so much and I don't know what to do without him. I know it's only been afew days but I can't stop thinking about him and missing his smell and his warm body buried into my face, he had brown nostrils and lips with a little pink patch on the bottom one, he was absolutely gorgeous and I dont think I will ever get over him and I don't think Frankie will either he's gone back to how he was when I first got him. After all the bad things fudge had being through, passed from home to home and given away for free on gumtree just because he bites is so upsetting because when I got him I saw how loving and caring he was and I think he only used to bite because he was scared and not because he was nasty. I used to text his previous owner to tell her how he was doing and send her pictures and not once did she bother to text me back, not even when I told her he passed away. I just don't know how someone could be so cold when it comes to him I really don't he was the love of my life and I will never get over him and I don't know what to do
RIP FUDGIE I LOVE YOU ALWAYS XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
