Patchwork Staccato
Junior Guinea Pig
Hello! So I have been inactive for around a year. A lot of stuff happened, my first guinea pig (Tammy) died, then my second guinea pig (Crystal / Lil Chrissy). On the 27th of October, last year, Tammy died. It was a horrible experience, and it is soon reaching a year. Then, on 6th of December, Crystal died. I know it's been nearly a year, but to this day I still miss them. The way they got so happy to see me, when I came home (even though they just wanted food) and the way they just rested on me.
Sadly, Tammy died during the night. I will always regret that day, I couldn't spend much time with them in the morning because I woke up late. Then I came home late, fed them and added fresh hay ect. But, I only spent like 10 minutes with them because I had to go out. When I returned, I was so tired I feel asleep. Next day, woke up and there she was. I was a mess, I'll admit it, but I had to pull through and take care of Chrissy.
However, I was with Chrissy when she passed away. I remember scooping her up, because I just knew it was her time to move on. For like an hour, hugging her, I just went through old photos of Tammy and her. I had hay, blankets and her favorite bed there. During this time, I was also dealing with some other things, so it wasn't great.
When she passed, I felt some relief. At least I was with her and hopefully made her last few hours comfortable, but obviously I was horrified.
Despite the time, I decided to not get any new guinea pigs (well I couldn't anyway because of the virus). But, I will never forget them.
I hope everyone is safe and doing well!
