I got up this morning to discover that my baby Connie has died 8... I am totally devastated and do not know where to go from here. She was fine last night when I put them to bed but when Chris went out to feed them this morning, she was gone. Eliza had her head on Connie and looked extremely sad. I just can't understand what has gone wrong. My heart is truly breaking as I type this.

My darling girl, I am so sorry and can not believe that you have left us. I just hope that now you are at Rainbow Bridge, your recent troubles have left you. I know that you shall be munching on the green grass and playing with the rest of the piggies. I hope that you have found Casper, Leroy, Peanut and Grace. I love you so much and you shall never be forgotten. Sleep peacefully baby.
Lots of love from Mummy, daddy, Kym, Aggie, Harrison and of course Eliza xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

no! I'm so sorry Claire. I cant belive shes gone :( she was getting on so well and she was a fighter. RIP lil girl. I dont know what to say Claire, you did everything you could and more! I'm so sorry xxxxxxxxxx
 
Oh no Claire, I'm truly devestated for you. :( Poor Connie. Sending you big (((hugs))) I know it is so hard but try and take comfort that she went peacefully. :( x
 
Oh Claire, my heart sunk when I saw this post about Connie was in the Rainbow Bridge section. I'm so sorry -you must be devastated. At least you did all you possibly could for her, no-one could have done more. She's at peace now. My piggies will greet her at the bridge

Sending hugs

I'm so shocked! So sorry to hear this. You did everything you possibly could for Connie though, so hopefully that will give you some comfort in time. x
 
OMG Claire I am so shocked and so very very sorry you lost Connie :( You did more than your very best for the little one, I cannot believe it 8...

Please have a huge ((((((((hug)))))))))) from me, I know how you are feeling xx

Sweet dreams little Connie xx
 
I am so sorry to hear about Connie. She put up a brave fight through her recent troubles and your care for her was wonderful. Connie looked like a beautiful girl and she obviously fought as long as she could to stay with you. My girls will be there to meet her at rainbow bridge and will take good care of her.
 
Claire, I'm still crying from finding out about poor, dear little Connie. I really hope you know that you did all you could and she was so thankful for that.

I hope Eliza is coping ok, please cuddle her for me as I wish I could give her and you a cuddle, you both deserve it.

I will write a poem as my tribute for Connie when I feel I can do it justice, but I feel so shocked right now I couldn't write the words in the way I would like.
I feel it helps with grieving if you can write something about your lost one.

Love you always little Connie, you play safe up there and sleep tight. Shine down on mommy and your little family tonight.

I am so shocked to hear about Connie. As I type I am shedding tears for her -and her family. 8...8...8... She was such an amazing little fighter and had done so well.

I have no doubts that Connie was a fighter and so grateful to you for the love & care you made sure she had. Also for the love and care Eliza gave her - I am thinking of the photo of Eliza checking her 'bits & pieces' after her operation. But for whatever reason, it was time for her to cross over the rainbow bridge. Know that Connie will be looked after by all the other piggies who have gone before her.

Hold onto your precious memories of her & make sure Eliza gets lots & lots of your love & hugs as she comes to terms with the loss of her best friend. xx>>>

My manly quintet send lots & lots of hugs & squeaks to you both at this time

Oh no Claire, I am so sorry, after all you both went through, Poor Connie. Rest in piece sweetheart (((hugs for you and Eliza))), how is Eliza, is she ok.8...8...8...
 
Claire, I'm so sorry.....what sad, sad news. Understandably you are devastated. Poor little piggie. xxxxxxxxx
 
Oh Claire i am so so very sorry & i too am shocked & upset to read this :(

Sleep in peace beautiful girl, you are so sadly missed x
 
When i saw the title to the thread i was really dreading opening it in case it was this,

I am so sorry Claire, you have been through such a hard time with her ((((hugs))))

Rip Connie
 
I'm so sorry to hear about little Connie. Take comfort knowing she is no longer suffering and was at home with you xx
 
Oh Claire, I am so, so sorry that this has happened. Like others have said, you did so much for her & i'm sure she is thankful for that.
(((Hugs))) to you & all your family xx
Sleep well Connie - you were such a special girl xx
 
Claire, I'm so sorry to hear about little Connie, what a shock after all you've been through together. It seemed she was doing so well. Nobody could have cared for and loved her more than you, and I wish there was something I could say to help you feel better.

RIP sweet Connie - and many hugs for you, Claire ....
 
Oh Claire love i saw this and thought no it just can't be....8...8...8...
RIP Connie run free at the bridge sweet one, have fun popcorning and muching with your family and friends, you'll NEVER be forgotten little one by your mummy, Eliza or so many of us from here either xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) for you sweetie and lots of loves too xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Thank you all for your kind words. The tears are coming as I have read through these posts. It makes it so hard because I truly believed that Connie was getting better. She seemed so happy the day before and on Friday, her and Eliza spent the afternoon in their run :0 I have the task today of phoning the vet to cancel her appointment on Thursday so I'll probably end up crying down the phone.
I am so worried about Eliza too as she seems so sad. She is eating and drinking but I think she know's that Connie will not be coming back this time. Last night was her first night alone so I am hoping that the worst is over for her xx
 
They do know when their friends die. I remember when Fudge (now over the bridge too) died. He tried to stand on his brother & nudge him with his nose. Anything to get him to move. It was the same when Aragon died recently - his brothers tried to 'wake him up'.

I always let my boys say goodbye before I take the deceased pig to the vet's for cremation. That way they know I haven't just taken them away from them. Eliza will have said her 'goodbyes' to Connie & no doubt shouted at her too. Guinea pigs are very clever & do know what has happened to the other pig.

The only advice I can gie you now is give Eliza lots of extra love & cuddles. She will need it & will need it for a while. Talk to her about Connie & tell her that you are sad too but that Connie is OK now & being looked after by all your other piggies who have gone before her. I know it sounds silly, but I find it is as much a comfort for you, as it will be for Eliza.

My boys are sending extra hugs & squeaks for you all this morning

Poor Eliza. But they are amazing little creatures and do bounce back. Just keep an eye on her, I'm sure you are. I found with Flora, Fleur and Amber when we lost Pearl they went a little depressed and lost a tiny amount of weight.

Just give Eliza time to grieve it sounds like they were very close. x
 
Connie, I saw you shining brightly last night,
as a glorious, magical star, a beautiful sight!
Please have fun up there,
run, munch and popcorn
and most importantly to your friends, take care.

We will all miss your little face,
and your amazing grace.
You had a place in everyones' heart,
more now than ever,
to tell you how I'll mourn you, how do I start?

I want to tell you I do love you
and you know that my piggies do too!
You are missed by everyone on here,
but by your mommy and Eliza
hold your memory so dear.

Your memory will always stay
with us though god had to take you with no delay.
The world has lost an absolute diamond,
your twinkly personality, pretty eyes,
so many memories most fond.

So goodbye sweet child,
go crazy and popcorn wild!
Watch down on Eliza and your earthbound friends,
they need your presence now
as their love for you will never end.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx RIP precious girl, my Sonny will miss you so much more than you'll ever know, and so will I xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I'm really sorry to hear Connie has gone, you put up an amazing fight for her and she'll never forget the kindness and love you showed her.

Popcorn with you friends now Connie, you'll be missed x
 
I'm still devastated about sweet Connie that she had to go just when it looked that she was finally making it!

Give my love to poor little Eliza!
