Teenage Guinea Pig

Our beautiful Joe Exotic passed the bridge on april 4. He was such a strong star until the very last breath, and it hurts me to know he must have been suffering alot those last days.
Joe was a soul with high integrity. It was really hard to win his trust and to convince him that humans are friends. He was a pig-pig all the way, and had a very beautiful and strong bond with Bob. They really were each others oxygen. When Bob crossed the bridge in august, Joe successfully bonded with little Chip. When their bond really started to form Chip sadly passed in december.

Joe was not just a special Guinea pig. He was my soulpig and its so hard to loose him. Because of a sharp tooth we grew really close because of all that extra care. I hated to see him in pain, and he truly hated syringes. But now I'm grateful for every minute I had with this king in my arms.

I could feel this little man with all my senses, and earlier this week I noticed he was whimpering when doing his business. We went to the vets and they found a big bladder stone. He did a surgery Thursday, and never really woke up. He started in the right direction but during the night his organs started to shut down and by Friday morning he was lehtargic and didnt swallow his meds/critical care. It's hard to say goodbye to my little soldier, knowing how determined he has been to live during these years.

Beautiful, gourgeus and grumpy Joe. Thank you for these 5 years of true love. Your family's gonna miss your fantastic hair everywhere and your smile. You really stole my heart.
