I've just come home to find The Ever Beautiful Betsy in her forever sleep. She hadn't been well for a couple of months and had lost a lot of weight but she'd rallied each time and kept going for more happy todays with her friend Meg.

I bought Betsy and her friend Velvet (Rainbow Piggy) on 1st April 2016 and brought them home. Betsy soon found her way into my heart with her big brown eyes and cheeky ways. When Dennis arrived, it was love at first sight for both of them and they were inseparable. When I had to split up my herd it was obvious those two were meant to be together so that's exactly what happened. Here they are happy in each others company.

Betsy was a lovely girl full of sass and cheekiness. She had a very loud voice when she chose to use it.

She became Shop Steward of the GPU a role which she took very seriously and would write to the GPU a lot over the years and helped her fellow piggies to cope with the injustices of their Slaves. When The One and Only Thea came to live in the garage, Betsy handed over the Shop Stewardship and retired.

Betsy had been unwell since January and had lost a lot of weight. She rallied and had a couple more months of happy todays.

Guinea Pigs live for today and I know I gave my Beautiful Betsy lots of happy todays. I know you shouldn't have a favourite but she really was mine. Sleep well my darling girl and have fun with The Love of Your Life Dennis forever at The Rainbow Bridge.

BIG HUGS

I am so so sorry for you and her mates but glad that the ever beautiful and grand Betsy could make her own way to the Bridge in her own time. She's had the happiest of piggy lives that you could give her and the best of care.

Guinea pigs don't grieve any less deeply than we humans but they cannot afford to grieve openly for as long as the pressures of survival are more immediate for them. It can be hard to bear for a grieving, heart-broken owner because you have to allow them to do their own mourning in their own way.
 
Oh my heart sunk when I spotted your post. I am so sorry that the ever beautiful Betsy has trotted off to the Rainbow Bridge to be with Dennis. She lived her very best life with you and her chums. She will be missed by all of us on the forum but fondly remembered for her role as founder member and shop steward of the GPU, plus being the long suffering model supreme to demonstrate your bum and skirt trimming techniques. Sleep tight, Ever Beautiful Betsy xx. Huge hugs to you @Betsy xx
 
I am so sorry Betsy has made her way to the bridge. What a wonderful life you gave her, so many happy days with her friends.
Sleep tight Betsy. Xx
 
Sat here at work with tears in my eyes reading this post. I am truly sorry that the lovely Betsy has crossed the rainbow bridge. She has been such a stalwart of the forum and will be greatly missed.

Betsy had the best life with you, the handsome Dennis and her other piggy friends. I'm sure that Dennis will be waiting to welcome her at the rainbow bridge. RIP beautiful girl. 💕🌈🐾

Sending you a big virtual hug @Betsy. xx
 
So sorry to hear this news. Beautiful Betsy was much loved and had a very happy home with you. May happy memories bring you comfort.
 
I cried too. So sad that The Ever Beautiful Betsy had to go over the bridge today. She will be so happy to see the love of her life Dennis again. ❤️

Take care.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss, today has been a busy day at the bridge.
Betty was so well loved, and had a life well lived ❤
 
Oh Jacky I am so sorry you have found Betsy in her forever sleep, sending you big hugs. I was so privileged to meet her last summer and give her a cuddle 😊 Take heart that Betsy had a wonderful life with all her friends, especially little Dennis, “the love of her life” and now she has gone to join him x

Sleep tight little lady 🌈
 
I’m so sorry for your loss. Betsy was a beautiful pig, she’s wheeking loud over rainbow bridge. 💕
 
So sorry to hear that the beautiful Betsy has made her way to rainbow 🌈bridge.x
Sending massive hugs.
Betsy you will be missed so much both on the forum and at the GPU.
I loved to hear all about your adventures.
Betsy you had a life full of love, you are now reunited with your friends and the love of your life Dennis.
Popcorn free little one.xx
 
Dear Betsy,
we were shocked to read the news. You were a piggy a lot of us looked up to.
But we are happy that you will be reunited with Dennis.
Make sure that there is no injustice in this beautiful land, we all return to when it's our turn to go to sleep forever.
Sad wheeks

Heartbreaking news. I’m so sorry. Betsy was and will always remain a favourite on the forum. How lucky was she to have such a wonderful home. X
 
The forum has lost another star today as we grieve with you for Betsy.
She lived up to her name of The Ever Beautiful Betsy, both for looks and her character.
She had a great life with you, lots of happy todays and was able to slip away peacefully in her own home.
I know this shadow has been hanging over you for a while now, but be gentle with yourself as you grieve.

A beautiful tribute, for an ever beautiful girl. What a truly wonderful, and perfect life she had with you.

So so so sorry. This brought tears to my eyes too. The ever beautiful Betsy and her fantastic personality really really shone through so much and she was a true legend. The special bond you had was also so apparent and all of our thoughts are with you as we know this must be heartbreaking. Take care of yourselves and be proud of how much devotion and care you provided to give her such an amazing and happy and sassy life. Here’s to the one and only Betsy, who will surely never be forgotten. What a special piggy.
