There was once a guinea pig called Wiggley

A guinea pig who filled our lives with so much joy, happiness and love. And taught us respect and patience.

It is hard for me to post this tribute for Wiggley. It is hard to come to terms that he’s no longer with us when we tried so hard to give him a fighting chance to live. For those who have been following my blog, facebook and twitter, you would have read about Wiggley’s battle with his health. It was a hard time for us.

It is not so long ago that we lost Ginger. Barely 2 months. Perhaps the two of them wanted to be together.

It has left a hollow empty feeling. They were both very sweet, very intelligent and very playful. Like Ginger, Wiggley was well-traveled and socialised, for a guinea pig. Wiggley was one guinea pig who absolutely loved his food. And I’m glad I’ve made thousands of images of my boys.

I thought I would publish a few of the images I haven’t shown to anyone before to remember Wiggley by.

Rest in peace now my little old man (as I called him in the last days). He will always be in our hearts.

In case you're wondering, I kept both the guinea pigs' original names when I adopted them.

6 had a thought (or two?):

  1. I'm so sorry for your loss.
    I hope he and Ginger are together eating as many apples and snacks that they want.
    Thinking of you xo

  2. I'm so sorry that you have lost them both, especially so closely together. I'm so happy that you adopted them and they had such fantastic lives full of love.

  3. I am so very sorry about your loss of Wiggley, and in such a short space of time to Ginger. They wanted to be together in the strawberry patch, running free. They knew they were much loved, and will have appreciated all the amazing things you had done for the,, right up until the end of the battle.
    Run free with your brother xxxx
