Goodbye Little Friend

orchidee



Goodbye little friend

Bronze Bluebell - guinea pig departed

A lovely girl, black, with a bronze patch on one side

 

You lived quite old for a guinea pig - 5 years or more

We brought you two black-and-white girl piggies

As companions, for the last half-year or so of your life

They are still here - like twins they are

We couldn't leave just one on its own in the pet shop

 

But you had a good long life

You got worn out with old age

Don't some of us humans too?

 

Went downhill fast - as you piggies seem to do so

Eating and drinking and running about

Until about two days from the end

Then reaching the stage

Where it was cruel to let you linger on

 

But now - Rest In Peace

Free from any further sufferings

Gone to Guinea Pig Heaven, I'm sure

            All Guinea Pigs go to heaven. I have it from good authority! ☝️ Anywho, I am so sorry to here of Bronze Bluebell dying, my friend. That is such a hard thing to deal with, no matter how small or furry our loved one might be. Please know I am keeping you in my prayers. A wonderful tribute, my dear friend. 🌹👏❤️‍🩹

            Tristan's latest is related in a sense to this beauty. That's why you can't but miss the dear little character, though mercifully you have the two others to help comfort you. Very, very lovely. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a winsome poignancy. I love it. Thank you for sharing.
