Roxie died on my lap at the vets today, I took her in to get a last exam and most likely to help her go to the bridge, she couldn't eat anymore, from
maloclusioned teeth, brought on by her illness with visceral infection from ovarian cysts. She was a brave little girl all the way to the end, she didn't
really want to go, but she was dying when I brought her in. Her last meal today was her two favorites, first rye grass and then some parsely leaves that it
took all her last energy to eat with my help today. Roxie brought me so much joy and companionship, she was the brains behind all our operations. Her best
friend and nemesis, Gloria misses her already, and I haven't stopped crying all day. Roxie and Gloria traveled up and down the state with me in the back
seat of my car many, many times the year my Mom got sick with cancer and died, they were my moral support and really took care of me during that time. I would
have done anything to not have her suffer at all, so when she couldn't eat anymore I knew it had to be, but I think this was one of the hardest days of my
life - can you believe it, such a bitey little feisty runty guinea pig who really didn't like me much - but she was my first piggy (with her sister) and I
will never be the same. Enjoy being free little sweety, eat all the yummies in heaven and say hi to Gramma like you promised. I'm sorry I couldn't make
you better. I love you.

I lost my Emily yesterday morning. She was 4 1/2 years old and had begun losing weight slowly. Every morning when I would wake up, she would chew on her cage;
yesterday morning she was not interested in it. She lost the ability to walk. I held her on my chest and then put her back in her room. Finally, i laid her on
the couch and she shifted to one side and slowly stopped breathing. She flinched one last time and then passed. I miss her terribly and even though i have 3
other pigs, i'm a bit mad that they're here. I know this is noly a part of the process but i feel like someone took away the last 4 years of my life. I
have included the lyrics to a Celine Dion song i have been listening to off and on today between my tears. It has helped me and I hope it will help you...
Fly, fly little wing Fly beyond imagining The softest cloud, the whitest dove Upon the wind of heaven's love Past the planets and the stars Leave this lonely world of ours Escape the sorrow and the pain And fly again Fly, fly precious one Your endless journey has begun Take your gentle happiness Far too beautiful for this Cross over to the other shore There is peace forevermore But hold this mem'ry bittersweet Until we meet Fly, fly do not fear Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear Your heart is pure, your soul is free Be on your way, don't wait for me Above the universe you'll climb On beyond the hands of time The moon will rise, the sun will set But I won't forget Fly, fly little wing Fly where only angels sing Fly away, the time is right Go now, find the light |
