Our dear Hugo sadly passed away yesterday evening. A lot of you may have been following our tough journey over the last few months, that began when we made the decision to get Hugo neutered. However, i'd rather remember the good and happy times that we had with Hugo prior to these last few agonising months.

We got Hugo as a baby in March 2014. Admittedly, we didn't know much about guinea pigs or rescues at the time and we bought both Hugo and Milan from p@h- something we wouldn't do now that we are more knowledgable but nevertheless, if we did things differently, we wouldn't have ended up with our two special boys!

Hugo has always been pretty quiet and timid around people until he got to know them and he'd show them his cheeky ways! He loved nothing more than a good chin rub, veggy time and floor time in his and milans bedroom- that much that if we were to go downstairs, we could hear him running and popcorning through the ceiling! His night time veg was always given in our bed, with Milan and lots of kisses and cuddles and if we ever dared to pick Hugo up to move him while he was scoffing his veg, gosh, he would let us know he wasn't happy haha! All in all, Hugo had a big character, a cheeky personality and had ever so kissable pink, piggy lips!

Today Hugo was cremated at Hollywell pet funeral services so that he could stay with us forever and to those who have not used them before, I would highly recommend them- such a beautiful place with a lovely atmosphere.

Sweet dreams my precious boy, I'm so sorry. You really are sorely missed and will stay in our hearts forever. Love mummy, mama, Milan and Captain xxxxxxx

I was honoured to have met the lovely Hugo. A handsome, gentle well behaved young man. You so clearly adored him and vice versa. I'm so desperately sorry that you lost him. Hugest of hugs to you both. Popcorn free Hugo xx
 
BIG HUGS

I am so, so sorry that Hugo has lost his battle; you have done everything you could for him to give him a happy and fulfilled life.
It has always been obvious how much you love him.

RIP Hugo - popcorn healthy again at the Rainbow Bridge and have fun with all the sows there!
 
I'm so sorry to you both, he had a wonderful life with you both that is clear & I am glad you will remember the happy times you shared with him. Popcorn free Hugo, enjoy the green grass at the Rainbow Bridge playing with the other piggy angels x

Sweet Dreams Hugo.RIP.
Hugs to you Sian.
I'm sure there is not a dry eye anywhere.xx
 
Thank you all.

And @eileen there definitely hasn't been a dry eye in our house since his passing. It's left a big hole in our hearts and our home is not the same without him. I'd do anything to bring him back and I'm full of regrets for putting him through the neutering but the only way to make me feel slightly better is to remember that I did not put Hugo through it for the sake of it- I genuinely wanted to give him the best life but sadly it was a mistake that I will never forget.

It's still such a shock as Hugo was doing so well for a few days after this last surgery. My concerns were not about the usual things e.g. Eating enough as he had his usual greedy appetite, but instead I was more worried about him feeling 'too well' and that he was trying to do too much after surgery, such as standing up at the bars, trying to run and popcorn etc. He went downhill so fast and I feel awful that I couldn't save him.
 
Sian you did your utmost,you did what you thought was best for hugo,so he could live happily.you would not have it any other way.i do hope you can cherish some happy times from this saga.i will post some pigtures of Bennie whom i have just adopted from BARC, A very diligent rescue.Bennie is a rescued neutered boar,he had a date with my difficult sow Jasmine.they are so happy and bonding well.it can work well.ive just put another 8 week old sow in and Jasmine has a transformed personality.ive put them into a 150cm cage in the living room so they get more contact with daily living.
