A Goodbye to one of our guinea pigs.
---------
Goodbye Shiny Sam
A shiny black guinea pig
Black, except for a smidgeon of ginger
On one side of your nose
And a ginger stripe
On one side of your back
You had company a while
But when your mate passed away
You and a new piggy did not get on well
A lonely life a times
Though you lived alone for about five months
You did not seem bothered by it
Though we should not leave you living alone really
Not just one piggy on its own
You need company
You survived a scratching to your neck
But later one of your teeth broke off
And your top front teeth needed filing too
We humans don't know sometimes
You piggies rush around and play as normal
Until suddenly you may become ill
And often - that's it then - the end is near
But it was worse
Not only your teeth
For the vet found you had a tumour underneath
We could not see it properly
Unless we lifted you up
So now time to sleep....
Rest in peace little friend
Thankful for your love and company

Thanks Gold.
Hi - Uncle Steve - ANGELA HERE - Sorry about your loss of SAM - Un Cochin d'Inde Noir ! Loved the VID especiaslly one being groomed by the Cat ! How many do you have ? I counted 8 going up the ramp. Great pets for KIDS (and Grown Men !). Through my GPS (I had three) I learned about Life (& Death) and the reproduction cycle etc. Thnaks for sharing the *Life of Sam* was he CORVID 19 isolating ?
You would love PERU (but also hate it !) One INCA HOUSE we visited has 35 GPS running round in the lounge from Babies to Grannies. Our Host said O they are no bother and lovely roasted or in a stew. That was AFTER we had had out Lunch of GP Stew (tasted like Rabbit) NO TELLUM FIDOBUS !
Blessing to You & Your Sad Spaniel
Love int Spirit Angela & Brian 💛💛💛
