I have lost count of the number of time I have started this post in the past 2 weeks.
I wanted it to be a fitting tribute to an incredible guinea pig.
But the reality is there really are no words to do justice to our sweet, feisty, confident, demanding, opinionated little agouti pig.

Two weeks ago we lost our precious Ruby.
She had spent he previous day trotting around her cage, wheeking for attention, and eating fresh grass before setting down for a night buried under a pile of her favourite hay.
It was the perfect final day.

And at the very end Ruby was held by her precious slave - the person she adored most in this world.
She left gently, while we reminded her how loved and amazing she truly was - not that she needed us to - Ruby always knew she was special.

I am sure that wherever she is now she is causing absolute mayhem, just as she always did while she was here with us.
There are no words for how much we all miss her.
The depth of our sorrow truly is the height of our joy.

I’m so very sorry for your loss @Swissgreys the more you love, the more you grieve. And the larger a hole they leave. I hope that the good memories go away to helping ease the pain and loss you are feeling.

Sleep tight Ruby, you will be truly missed 💜
 
My heart sank when I saw the title of this post :( I’m so sorry you lost your precious ruby, she was such a special piggie. Big hugs xx
 
So sorry to hear of Ruby’s passing, the forum won’t be the same without her Diva antics, I’m sure she is having a fabulous time being the boss over the rainbow ❤️🌈
 
This is such sad news, the forum really has lost one of it's stars. Ruby, may you shine brightly forever. 💕🌈🐾

Sending you and Ruby's favorite slave a big hug :hug:
 
How can you sum up such a powerhouse of a piggy? She was quite simply unique. Her own special self. I have no doubt that the Ruby shaped hole she leaves in your hearts is a huge one. We will all share her loss with you. Big hugs xx
 
My heart sank when I saw this thread. I am so sorry that Ruby has stormed her way over to the Rainbow Bridge as I very much doubt she toddled off there being the rambunctious, opinionated piggy that she was. She was a true forum legend who knew her own mind and will be sorely missed by all. We have all lost a piggy today. Huge Hugs to you all.
 
BIG HUGS

Ruby was such a big member of your family and leaves a very deep Ruby-shaped hole in your life and your hearts.
Please try to take consolation that she did enjoy her life right up to the very last day and that you could make her passing as gentle on her as she could have wished, even if the pain and shock were all the greater for you.

I am sure that there is a very bossy little furry guardian angel causing havoc at the Bridge right now because she knows it all better!
 
Sorry for your loss. Ruby had such a big personality and she was very clearly well loved. Sleep tight Ruby x
 
I am so very sorry for your loss. Ruby was unique and her stories a huge gift to the forum. My heartfelt sympathy to her young slave, as the mother of another young slave who will be devastated when her own special piggy crosses the rainbow bridge one day 🌈
 
I am so very sad to see your post. I loved reading her posts on the forum and will miss seeing them. She was a very special piggy and know you will find it hard not having her around. Ruby leaves you with happy memories but an empty space right now so I am sending loads of hugs as you grieve. Take care of yourself and your loved ones. The rainbow bridge has been very busy today. Popcorn free Ruby 🌈
 
Such a special piggy. Truly a star of the forum and will be greatly missed.
 
I am so sorry to see your very sad news. Ruby will be missed by you and your family and everyone on the forum. Sending you and your family hugs.
Sleep tight miss understood Ruby. Xx
 
I have enjoyed reading all of the wonderful Ruby stories since joining the forum. She was a special piggy. Thinking of you and your family during this time.
 
I just saw this and said out loud....'oh no'.....I had to check I had read it right. I am so sorry, I loved Ruby's stories. My favourite was when she got her new coconut friend. My heart hurts for you all. 💜
 
Oh no, not Ruby! What a personality and forum favourite- she will be missed by us all😥 I'm sure she's getting all the other piggies in order over the rainbow bridge and not taking any nonsense! So sorry💐
 
Sorry to hear your sad news.
The stories we read, her personality shone through, thank you for sharing them with us.
Popcorn free Ruby. 💐
 
I’m so sorry you have lost beautiful Ruby. She will be missed. Enjoy all the bananas you can eat over the bridge Ruby. Take care ❤️
 
I'm so sorry for your loss, Ruby was such a legend and will be dearly missed by us all x
 
I was so gutted and tearful to read this, as others have said Ruby was a forum legend who clearly was at the centre of your family and whose antics really raised a lot of smiles on here. I would always look forward to her latest updates. So sorry for you, your daughter and the rest of your family, this must feel very hard indeed and I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Thank you so much for sharing her personality with us, it really has been such a joy to follow her antics, she was truly one of a kind and a very special personality. Look after yourselves as you grieve. Rest in power Ruby. X
 
Thank you so much everyone.
Honestly it has been so lovely to read all of your wonderful comments about Ruby.
She would be very happy to know that so many people have enjoyed the stories about her life.
And Ruby's favourite slave (my 16 year old daughter) has been amazing throughout the whole thing - the losses are so hard, but raising our children with animals in their lives gives them so much strength and compassion.
On the day we lost Ruby I was bowled over by her unflinching courage to make the decision that meant Ruby wouldn't suffer, even when it was such a hard one for her.
 
I cried when I read this @Swissgreys .
Ruby brought so much joy and laughter to the forum. We have lost a real star ⭐️
She packed enough character for 10 piggies into her beautiful body and she will leave a huge hole in your lives.
Be gentle with yourselves as you grieve.
Holding you all in my heart ♥️
:hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:
 
Very shocked and sad to see you’ve lost your gorgeous little lady, sending massive hugs to you and the family, your daughter is so brave ❤️ She was an amazing little piggy and cheered me up so many times with her funny antics, I think she made me chuckle for a good month every time I thought about her and that coconut buddy! :wub: The forum won’t be the same without her, a totally beautiful bitey ⭐️ Hope you’re ok :hug:x
Sleep tight Ruby you gorgeous lady, me and Cleo will miss you ❤️❤️ xx
