Cat...
Junior Guinea Pig
Scooby: ? - 01.02.2015
We inherited Scooby from relatives who didn't have space for him anymore (apparently there was a Shaggy who died prematurely).
Scooby had the patience of a saint.
Scooby had the ability to get on with cats.
Scooby liked to sleep with his head on his food bowl for convenience.
Scooby seemed like the laziest thing, but in the garden he loved to run, and he was so, so fast.
We always kind of thought of Scooby as a pet for our original guinea pig, Morrissey Bear, who thinks he is a person. Mozzy adored Scooby and fretted loudly whenever Scoobs was picked up for cuddles. I showed Morrissey Scooby's body when he died, because Mozzy is clever and I wanted him to understand. Mozzy tried to wake him up. It was awful. He's not been the same since.
Scooby died because I brought in a third guinea pig, a tiny thing who was bullied and alone, and who brought in an illness. Scooby is dead because I made that choice. Someone else could have taken the other pig home, but I did, because I like the number three. Scooby is dead because I was greedy, and I will remember him, and I will always, always try to remember to be grateful for what I have.
I love that little critter.
