Poppy – The bossiest grumpiest funniest pig in the world 2003-2007

Poppy was beautiful a little Himalayan who never quite grew into her ears.

She was rescued by the RSPA from a woman who kept the pigs in boxes. A result of which meant Poppy couldn’t help but feel more comfortable with her paws up on another pigs’ back; a habit which lead to much indignant squeaking from her fellows.

Once she recovered from a profound fear of being handled she revelled in an ear rub, falling helplessly into a comfort coma but only if she wanted to.

Poppy was not to be messed with, she would administer a gentle nip whenever she decided she’d had enough of being cuddled and wanted the company of her sister pigs, she could give the most demanding stare known to pig if she wasn’t getting her own way.

Hyperactive, Poppy was always out and about, prowling the conservatory in hope of finding something to eat or a nice sun spot to snooze in.

When she wanted something: mostly cucumber, she would place her two perfect black paws on the step and stare urgently into the house issuing a gentle enquiring squeak which unanswered, would rise to a hurt crescendo that we could be so cruel as to ignore her.

She was tolerated by Betty, Dill and Willow who became used to her habit of scoffing the best food quickly and then demanding to see what each of them had, and if possible, pinch it. They grew used to her need to keep moving round the plate in case something better lay on the other side and complaining, all moved up to accommodate Poppy and her needs.

They missed her as soon as she was gone; and so do we.

 

Penny the Jack Russel   1986-2004

 Oh, Penny I loved you so even though you were my nan`s. Your growl may have been fierce but we still loved you so.

We hope you are enjoying your time with the rainbow bridge. We just want to say thank you for being a faithful friend

 

Oscar

Oscar my 2tr old cat in your memorials, he was hit by a car and at first the vet said he was going to be ok and I could collect him the next day. Later that day another vet called and said Oscar was dying and then he died as she was speaking to me.  Oscar used to come to the park when we took the dog out,they were mates and the dog misses him.  I am heartbroken especially as he managed to get himself home 4 hours after being hit, I stayed up all night caring for him and now he has gone.

 

Purdie Crannage - Cat

 March 1999 - June 2006

 Died on Monday 13th June 2005.  You turned up at a friend's house and after weeks of trying to find your owners we took you in.  The moment you walked in the door you brought us happiness.  I remember you spent about 3 hours just walking around the house purring!  That's how we finally found a name for you - well you really named yourself!  I miss you so much and am so sad that illness took you away from us.  Thanks for being there for us and being a great friend.  I keep your picture on my desk and think about you always.  I will never forget you and the joy you brought to our lives.  Just picturing how you woke Simon up to feed you every morning brings a smile to my face.  Love for ever and always, Helen and Simon xxxxx

 

Pirate - the guinea pig

He was so loved and will be greatly missed, by rosie (his girlfriend), my mum and of course me. I will never forget him, he had such character and would run out into the run to greet me every morning. I'll never forget you Pi

Pipsqueak (Pippy)

 
You had the sweetest nature I can imagine any little guinea to have. Your absolute trust and no fear you showed towards people touched everyone's hearts. I miss you running to the bars every time I enter the lounge. And the way after a quick run round the room, you would always return to me, even lying on my foot. Your untimely death seems so unfair. We could never quite imagine you fully grown somehow; at least this way you will remain in our memories as being the tiny little ball of joy you were. Even your markings matched your personality - beautiful. It absolutely broke my heart to watch you die in my hands, I'm so sorry there wasn't more I could've done to help you. You were unique and irreplaceable. We will never forget you.
 
Mummy and Nathan,+ everyone else that had been spellbound by you. You were too good for this world.

 

Peppy The Guinea Pig

In honor of Peppy - Born 9/00 - Died 5/31/05.  Words cannot describe the loss I'm feeling of this sweet, blk/brown/white, adorable little creature.  When I lost my first gp, Gooney, my friend and I went to the pet store, and when you saw us, instead of being frightened like most gp's, you ran to us and started squeaking and wouldn't leave. Then, I knew you were one of a kind and had to take you home.  You helped me so much in my time of grief.  You brought much joy, comfort and happiness in the 4 and 1/2 yrs. you were with me. I still expect to hear you chew on your cage, begging for food in the morning and when I came home from work. It hurts so much to pass by your cage, they way it was before I took you to the vet. I miss your kisses playful spirit, chewing on everything (including my hair) and the way you begged for carrots.  Whenever I was sad, you were always uplifting.  Now that you passed on to the Rainbow Bridge, I hope you are happy and your little heart has mended.  I'll always love you and miss you dearly.  I hope we'll see each other again, but until then, goodbye my little one of a kind friend.

Peanut ~ The Guinea Pig

Peanut, you were a great friend and we all miss you very much.  We will always remember you.  Our hearts belong to you."  - Jason

 

Petey and Paki- Two cocker spaniels

       1996-1997

 Petey and Paki were the runts of the litter. They were both golden brown and they were brother and sister. Petey was a male and Paki was a female. They were with us for one year but we will never forget them. When we moved to an apartment we realized we had to give them up so we gave them to our cousins and then one morning they called us and told us that Petey and Paki had lost all of their hair and they had both died in the backyard. We buried them in the nearby pet cemetary. Petey had a pink mark on his stomach, and he had broken his leg but had been cured. Paki had a red nose, she had light brown eyes. Petey and Paki, you will be missed forever. All of us will be at the bridge with you soon.

          Love, Brenda, Jacqueline, Oscar, and Maria

your loving owners

 

Princess  Dec. 1989-February 26, 2003  Himalayan Cat

 

I had to put Princess to sleep last Wednesday because she was going into Kidney failure.

Princess was the best thing that ever happened to me. She was given to me by one of my closest and dearest friends, as her owners were expecting a baby and could no longer keep her.

She always had a habit of sneaking into my bedroom when she knew she wasn't supposed to be in there. She would curl up along side of me on the couch and purr her little heart out whenever I petted her. I know you are in a better place right now, and God is taking care of you. You are missed greatly, each and every day. I will see you again someday my sweet baby.

Love Mommy

Piggy - The Guinea Pig

1996 ~ 2001

Knowing Piggy was one of life's special gifts.  She passed away November 28, 2001 while sitting on my lap.  In her usual unassuming way, she simply stopped breathing while I petted her.  As odd as it may sound, I think Piggy waited for me so that she could die while sitting on my lap early in the morning.  It was our routine, every morning she sat with me while I drank coffee, put on some make-up and got ready for the day.  It was if she willed it to end that way, after having grown weak over the four prior months.

Piggy, you had Personality.  I will always remember the way you followed me around the house like a little duck following its mother.  When I went up the stairs, you sat at the bottom step waiting until I returned and when I sat at this desk, you made yourself comfortable next to my feet.  Being close to me seemed more appealing to you than running around the room exploring the surroundings.  And when you did venture off for a bit, you would return at the first sign of becoming tired.  You were gentle, loving and expressive.  I'll always remember how you adored our cat, Mieze, and how desperately you wanted to nuzzle your nose into her fur. 

We love you dearly.  Our adorable, funny looking friend, dear Piggy: we thank you for your love and trust.  I would like to think you are at the Rainbow Bridge with other gentle creatures where you belong.  I would like to think we will see each other again someday.  Your impact on us was enormously touching.  We will never forget you

Princess 

1995(?)-2001

aka "Guin", "Piggy", "Pigster", "Winnie" and several other nicknames

Princess, we miss you already. It has only been a little over 12 hours since you passed at the time I write this, but nothing seems quite the same.

You know we loved you, and you loved us back. We will never forget you and just like Erin asked on your casket, I know you'll never forget us.

We'll miss those bright little eyes, that cute face, your scampering about, your squeaks and squawks and most of all your happy little gobble.

You had an uncanny ability to touch those who didn't even know you, you were just that cute.

We know you didn't want to leave us, since you fought to live on the operating table, but I know you're in a better place and it was your time.

I believe in the rainbow bridge and I know we'll meet there again someday. Until then, romp freely with your other Guinea Pig pals and my Bunny Arnold, along with any other animal friends you make.

Lastly, I'd like to say I'm glad you passed in your sleep, during the operation, since it was the most painless way to go. The Cancer that was trying to take you didn't win, you did!  It was gone, but your little old piggy heart just couldn't take the surgery.

 

We will always remember how happy you made us, you were the best thing at cheering us up when we were down.

Mom will miss you. She remembers how your little piggy personality grew on her and how she loved you.

Erin grew up with you, she'll miss having you to help face the trials of teenhood.

Stephie feels like she was just beginning to know you. She misses you too, and wishes she knew you longer than the last year and a half

Even Dad misses you, though he doesn't show it much. 

I, of course, will miss you the most little brown buddy. My room seems empty and quiet without you. I can't even began to name the memories I have of you and I with out taking up this entire website.

  so long little friend, until we cross the rainbow bridge together!

Love Steve, Mom, Stephie, Erin and Dad

I had a guinea pig, she passed on to cavy heaven on Sept. 25, 2001. She got sick, I don't know how or from what. Her name is Princess, she had light brown hair with white stripes along her back and tail, and the most beautiful red eyes. She was so gorgeous. Anyways, i would like to say that momma L, poppa G, and Petey our other piggy miss her so much. We love you Princess (Jedionda). 

 

 

 

Patches-the Guinea Pig

1994-1998

Patches was an excellent furry friend.  she was always there when i needed someone to cuddle up with, to cry on, and to talk to (even if she just squealed back).  She died of cancer in 1998. she enjoyed long days in the sun with her sister, Midnight.  I miss her so very much, and there will always be a place in my heart for her.

 

Penny- The Guinea Pig

Penny was always known as Crafty Penny, she was such a sweet little girl and in her later days she ruled the roost in the nursery cage, She seemed to have been here forever, i will miss her

Peter Pan

my family and I had a wonderful cavy names peter pan. he was very special
and gentle. peter loved to get a bath, run around the yard and most of all
play with his partner tinker bell. peter was a tan and white abby that loved
to be held and played with. we lost him a month ago and it was one of the
hardest losses we had to endure. we purchased pete from a pet store as an
adult. as soon as we put him with tink, she fell in love with him, they were
never more than a couple of feet from each other, even when they were running
around the house or in the yard. we were fortunate that we were able to be
there when pete died. we buried in the back yard after we lovingly wrapped
in up in a towel and placed him in a box. we miss pete very much, but i
think tink misses him even more. i am afraid now that i will loose tink
soon, we adopted her as an adult and we have had her for almost four years
now. tink is a cross between an abby and a peruvian and she has the coloring
of a skunk, so we call her tinker skunk. my children took it hard when pete
died, but we know that he is as my daughter puts it, "in the happy hunting
ground." pete was special, not many piggums allow you to give them a bath as
well as brush them and blow dry them. it took tink a while to get over it,
for a couple of days she wouldn't eat properly and she would always lay in
the spot where we found pete. we are all doing better, but nothing can
replace out pete.

Oreo

Oreo was the best friend a person could have. He looked just like an Oreo
cookie but really chubby. He warmed the hearts of everyone, including
unenthusiastic people. He loved the outdoors, and dried apples. He got me
through high school and college. He welcomed in my triumphs with squeaks,
and my sorrows with cuddles. I had to put him to sleep today because of
neurological problems. Despite this he never lost his wonderful personality.
I love you with all my heart.

Penny

May 15, 1997- Feb 1, 2000
We lost our furry friend Feb 1, 2000. She was a great pig. She preferred to be held and petted to any other activity (except eating lettuce). I held her and kept her warm until it was her time to go on. We miss her a lot. Nobody "wheeks" when I wake up anymore. p>

Ozma-The Guinea Pig

Ozma was my first pet and a gorgeous one at that...she was an albino American shorthair guinea pig. However, even though I grew to love her very much, she died while I slept, a mere 3 days or so after her 1st birthday. I still miss her. Ozma, my little one, I love you.
