run free, poopsy

Posted : 6/11/2008 3:38:42 PM

some of you may have followed my thread about seaking vet help here for my guinea pig, poopsy.

poopsy was technically my sister's guinea pig. my sister has gone to germany last fall, so poopsy has been with me for about a year now.

i always thought i didnt bond with her much, but it seems i loved her more than i knew!

poopsy got sick this last week. she had diarrhia and didnt eat. here, vet care for guinea pigs is virtually non-existant. i tried to help her. learned more about guinea pig health in the last few days, than i did in the last year. i hand fed her for almost 2 days. finally she refused to swallow anything at all, so i called my sister, and we decided to let her go yesterday.

poopsy was a shy little thing. everything frightened her. but when i came into the bathroom (where i kept her cage), she would come up to the front of her cage to get petted or cuddled. she would get the zoomies, just like the dogs. she was the cutest little thing.

run free poopsy! you will be missed!

Aww, I'm sorry. Poopsy -- trust me there are LOTS of gp's up at Rainbow Bridge. The gal whose email I gave you -- she had a piggie she 'rescued' from a snake food box at a petstore. Blossom was blind (which is why she was there), but Jenna taught her AGILITY! Yep -- she built itty bitty agility equipment for her and taught her with a clicker!! Blossom used to run weave poles and everything else! All just little bitty equipment Jenna made.

Jenna at the time was just a teen and loved photography and she did the most awesome pics of Blossom ... always with little doll hats and other "props" -- and I tell ya -- I know Blossom is up there waiting for us! I missed her from 4,000 miles away!!

So Poopsy -- you're missed little one!! Have fun -- the grass up in that Meadow is rich and sweet and all sorts of places to hide and have fun!!

I have this mental picture that when *I* get to Rainbow Bridge I will see this tiny tiny hat floating along the top of the grass in the Meadow -- it just kinda 'floats' towards me and then suddenly up pops Blossom in her hat!! It's ... just ... well, it's how it's GOTTA be!!

My Sami and my sister's Bethany Ann will be playing (and sharing their celestial carrots) with Poopsie!

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about Poopsy. I'm sure my pigs will be there to greet her. There's Friendly, Pico Peeg, Abby & Truffles.

I am sure Poopsy will be welcomed by Sharky and George also. You did the right thing. RIP Poopsy.

I'm sure that by now, Poopsy has met Speedy (who looks a bit like her) and Bullet. RIP little one and give my pigs a hug for me;-))
