Junior Guinea Pig
I'm writing this in the hope it will help make me feel better, and stand a reminder about my beautiful girl.
Sky was part of my first pair of piggies alongside Flynn. I got them to help me with my depression and they did. They helped me get up in the morning, and gave me purpose. If I had to look after the piggies then I would carry on. I'm better now and consider Sky and Flynn little life savers.
Sky was brave, bold, trusting, loving and smart. She 'begged' for food and would curl up and go to sleep on me. Even at the very end she was still reaching out for me. I hope she knew how much I loved her, and how much I tried to save her in as much as a piggy can.
She was bold, and knew her own mind. If she didn't want lap time, you knew about it! And would wriggle until she went back. She would sit on me and watch TV (I swear she did). She wasn't bothered by going to get her nails clipped - she'd be peering out the carrier looking for food from anyone nearby!
She would always be the first at the food. I have pictures of her dozing in the evening sunshine. Or hunting about for treats. I have a lot of happy memories, and a lot of wonderful pictures. I've linked to my favourite video below from one of the many times she slept on me (watch it with the sound on and wait to the end - it's only short).
I know everyone says this, but she was a special piggy. She trusted me implicitly. She was my little buddy. And I miss her. So much more than I thought I would. So much more than I thought I could. She was far too young to go, I had hoped for much more time with her (and my other piggies). It doesn't feel the same without her bright little face looking at me.
I'm sorry I couldn't save her. I'm sorry I wasn't holding her when she went but I was so determined to get her to the specialist. I was talking to her in the car. She knew I was there. I love my little Sky.
