Goodbye, Chip

[OtisandChip]

Last night I had to say goodbye to my adorable, crazy, and tomato-addicted boy, Chip. He was more than just a Guinea Pig; he was part of my family. He is deeply missed already. This happened so unexpectedly and suddenly, I wish we had more time together. Everything was fine Mar. 27th, and when I woke up yesterday (Mar. 28th) he was extremely lethargic and would not eat. I tried everything I possibly could, but unfortunately, it was his time. I cannot believe it was just two days ago I was hearing his little wheeks when I would come into my room. He was a bit over 4 years old, living in the cage with his buddy, Otis. It is so heartbreakingly quiet here now without his squeaks. If I only knew that Wednesday was the last time I would be hearing that, I wouldn’t of taken it for granted. I know he is in a better place, I just wish he was still here. I was not prepared for this, though, you can never be. This is truly the most painful part of owning Guinea Pigs. Rest easy Chippy, you are so loved and will never be forgotten.

I am so very sorry for your loss it is heartbreaking losing them, for little guys they fill so much of your heart and when they are no longer there it is impossible to fill that space. As you say you never know when the last day is and I know it's a cliché but we should cherish each day. We lost our gorgeous boy Toby just before Christmas he was fine or so I though at 9.30 ish and 2 hours later he was gone forever . Nothing can prepare you for this loss however those photos are wonderful and he is wonderful too and the love can be clearly seen in them.
Be kind to yourself and Otis as you grieve and to Chip popcorn happily over that Rainbow Bridge buddy

Thank you so much for your kind words, they are truly appreciated more than you know. It's comforting to know that I'm not alone in this. It was horrible how fast it happened, as I'm sure you understand. I'm in disbelief and filled with grief. It is just so heartbreaking. May Toby sleep peacefully. I'm sure my Chip and your sweet Toby are up there playing together as I type this. Take care of yourself and hold onto those beautiful memories forever. Until we meet them again at the Rainbow Bridge.
