Today, we had to have our special girl PTS. She was 5 1/2 years old.
Putt came to us with her sister Pitch in August 2006. They were our first Guinea pigs, we'd already named them before they arrived. Putt was the quieter of the 2 and never wheeked, she let Pitch do all the shouting for her, but could demand food with a certain look
Unfortunately, we lost Pitch in January this year. Putt at the same time became poorly with long term bladder issues, which have never gone away and later was diagnosed with ovarian cysts.
We moved Putt's cage into the room to live with us. Over the past 11 months, she grew closer than ever to us and changed from the timid girl we had once known. She sat on our laps everynight, watched telly and had her medicines syringed to her without any complaint.
Her favourite food was Parsley, althougth due to her health probs, her intake of this was dramatically cut down. Last night however I fed her 5 big sprigs, she was very happy at this unexpected return of her favourite food!
When Pitch passed away, Putt was a constant strength for us both and just hugging her made us feel better. Putt was gentle, shy and had beautiful soft fur. She loved her cuddles with mummy and daddy. She smelt unlike any other pig - I could spend ages just sniffing her. She had a sideways look she would always give me. No matter how I was feeling she would always be there to cheer me up.
We will both miss her so much, nothing will ever replace her. The room seems so empty without her.

Putt's sideways look....
On the sofa
In the bowl on wee collection duty (always make me laugh)
RIP Putt, I know you've already snuggled up next to Pitch at the Bridge. We will never forget you.
