The GPU has been very quiet today in honour of The Ever Beautiful Betsy.

I am sorry to hear that Betsy has gone over the rainbow bridge. Sleep tight, beautiful Betsy.
 
Oh no, not the wonderful Ever Beautiful Betsy, a true forum ⭐so sad and sorry to hear the news.
 
On no, I'm so sorry for your loss of the Ever Beautiful Betsy! Sending ((hugs)). She was such a star and she had lots of happy todays with you. Sleep tight Betsy x
 
So sorry to hear of your loss, popcorn free Betsy🌈.
We loved hearing about Betsy’s adventures & appreciate the work she did at the GPU.
From myself, and wheeks from Hector & Hamish.
 
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.

I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your sweet girl💗 it sounds like you have her the best, most beautiful life a guinea pig could live. I’m sure she crossed the rainbow bridge peacefully knowing that she will forever hold a special place in your heart. These little creatures make such impacts on our lives and can wiggle their way right on into your heart. The way you worded your post about Betsy is especially special and you are so right about guinea pigs living for today. I absolutely love that and I’ve never thought about it that way. I’m sure your gorgeous girl is popcorning free and watching over her family here with a full belly and a happy heart❤️
 
Oh no! I'm so sorry to read that the Ever Beautiful Betsy has toddled off to Rainbow Bridge 😪😪😪 Sending you hugs at this sad time :hug::hug:

She had the best life with you, and Dennis and the rest of her herd. Her memory will live on in your heart and in your herd thread for all to see forever 💛

Popcorn free beautiful Betsy 🌈

I am so sorry, and absolutely heartbroken for you. She was beautiful and will be sorely missed by all. She had an incredible love-filled life with you and her friends, and I'm sure she knew how cherished she was. Be gentle with yourself as you grieve. Sending huge hugs 🤗
Sleep tight Betsy, enjoy the rainbow bridge 💕🌈
 
I've just caught up. So sorry to hear about Betsy. A peaceful passing is a blessing for such a lovely old lady. Love to all x

I’ve just read of the sad loss of the beautiful Betsy - she will be happy to be reunited with her lovely Dennis at rainbow bridge.
Look after yourself ‘Betsy’ as you grieve. We will miss her on the forum 💔
 
I've been catching up, and I'm so sorry to read of the loss of your beautiful Betsy. She was certainly a huge personality on the forum.. Sending you big hugs, Jackie. x
 
So sorry to hear the ever beautiful betsy has crossed the rainbow bridge. She was clearly so well loved by both her human and piggie companions. ❤
 
Really upset this morning. Went outside only to find Betsy's grave empty with some of her fur lying around. A fox dug her up and has eaten her!😭 We buried her deep too as we know there are foxes around. I can't stop crying. My gorgeous girl is no longer in the ground with Dennis, Velvet, Christian and Patsy. I just hope they have all found each other at the Rainbow Bridge.
 
OMG!
So sorry, that's horrific. Can't begin to imagine how upset you are feeling, it upset me just to think about it.
Sending you massive hugs.
I sure Betsy found her friends at the rainbow 🌈bridge.xx
 
I’m so sorry to hear this. I can’t imagine your pain. It’s anyone’s worst nightmare. Betsy will definitely be with all her friends at the rainbow bridge.
 
How awful for you. Sending a big hug. :hug:

Remember that Betsy's soul has already gone to the rainbow bridge to be with her friends. ❤️🌈

Thanks that helps a lot. When I told my OH he immediately said that we'd have to get them cremated from now on then they can't be dug up. He was nearly at the office which is an hours drive away otherwise he would have come home to give me a cuddle.
 
That's so upsetting. Just remember that was only her body and the character and personality you loved so much wernt there they we're safely running about on the other side of that bridge.

Your still grieving and things like this are only going to make that so much harder so be kind to yourself
 
Gosh that must have been so upsetting Jacky ❤️
 
Oh just seen this Jacky, I’m so sorry what a terrible thing to have happened, sending hugs x
Rest asure that Betsy is united with her family, her little body is not needed over rainbow bridge 🌈
