Guinea pigs

Pictures from the late summer of 2017. Fluffis (the lil baby) was still so tiny here! Believe she was around one month old at the time. They're both bigger now, Midori was also kind of tiny since she had lost so much weight when pregnant.

An ode to Snultri.

( Rest in Peace 2012 - 2017 )

Every time I was I would go downstairs and you would always be there. You'd come forward, wanting to be picked up even. The only piggie I've had who could sit and snuggle with you for hours. We used to watch films together in the couch, we sat in the grass together when it was warm so you could eat your favourite food and we bonded. When your cagepartner, my poor beautiful little Ai-pon, died it broke my heart because you always stood at the edge of the cage waiting for me because you didn't want to be alone. I think you didn't stop missing her and neither do I. Every pet is special.

I worried about you lots of times. In the pet store you were by yourself and I immediately knew I wanted you. When you were only one year you got pneumonia and they said you might now live, but you did. We changed litter to make it less dusty to make it better for you. This is naught but ramblings from me, but I miss you and I think I always will.

It was in the beginning of December. I was sitting downstairs watching her, thinking she seemed to be both restless yet tired. She was walking back and forth between two spaces she'd lie down in. I felt a worry build up, I knew. I knew something was wrong. I decided not to bother her because she seemed so sleepy... I wish I had though. The next morning she was dead. My beautiful sweet baby girl. She was so close to her 6th birthday too... I was so angry with myself for not following my instincts and wasted her last hours. I should have been there, I should have stayed.

Love you both; always.
