She was the best damn piggie, and will be greatly missed by all.
I invite you all to share in acknowledging the passing of the tiniest member of our family, Sophie. As a Guinea Pig, Sophie led a simple life, but one marked by good humor and love for those around her. Always quick to taunt the cat from behind her bars, or to call out for her fair share of the vegetables, Sophie showed us all a little place in our hearts that was still full of childlike wonder.
The staff of the Calgary North Veterinary Hospital went above and beyond in making her final moments in this life comfortable and even got her energetic enough for a last bit of a run before her tiny body gave out and released her enormous spirit to join her creators.
Sophie will be sorely missed by those who survive her. Any prayers or words of healing for us or to speed her on her way are graciously and thankfully accepted.
Well that sucks. I had an abyssinian named Poto (for “Phantom of the Opera” because his face had a big ole spot) who was awesome; prior to that I never knew they had such personality! We had two cavies and two rabbits, who all got along like gangbusters when we let them out. Poto loved my Dad and, when my folks visited, would SQUEAL for him whenever he heard Dad’s voice. If Miss Piggy gave you half the enjoyment Poto gave us, then you were indeed blessed.
