My baby Butterscotch

[Butterscotch2]

Butterscotch died for unknown reasons on March 1st, 2009 on a Sunday.
When I got Butterscotch she had been dropped off with the man saying, "She doesn't breed anymore." At the time I was looking for a guinea pig and as soon as I saw her, I knew she was the one. I took her in that day. Her golden-white, long hair mesmerized my eyes. She was probably 6 months when I got her. A year later I found this site and just finished building my C & C cage at the end of November. She was a very happy guinea pig and I was planning on getting her a friend in April. Little did I know.
On Sunday, I was doing cleaning the house and was cleaning out Butterscotch's cage. I set up floor-time and took her out of her cage. As I held her she squeaked in pain and bit my arm. I set her down. She started to walk away but couldn't walk without falling over onto one side. I stared at her, tears coming down my face. I knew something was wrong, but I couldn't do anything about it. I set her on my lap and she relaxed, content. I put her on the floor again. She walked and fell yet again. I felt so helpless. Butterscotch eventually snuggled between my legs. I cried harder. She got up and fell and walked to the other side of the pen. She fell and stayed down. She took hard breathes and I immeditaley swept her up. Within the next minute she died in my arms. I was bawling by that time, nothing stopping me. She was as limp as a rag doll in my arms. All I hope is that she died peacefully and lived a good life. I am still crying and don't know what to do. My heart has a hole. I walk into my room expectin her to sleep or being quiet so that she doesn't wake up from her naps. I rips my heart relizing -again- that Butterscotch isn't there anymore, just in my heart. I will never forget my baby who adored hay, veggies, and me. I just miss her so much.

I'm so sorry. She was beautiful! She lived a great life and knew so much love in her life. Now she's happy and young in heaven.

RIP Butterscotch.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is very hard to lose a furry friend. You gave her a wonderful loving home.

RIP Butterscotch! May you run free and popcorn over the rainbow bridge.

She sounded like a wonderful pig, and she was lucky to have someone who cared SO much for her in the end. She knows that she was loved... I'm so sorry for your loss...

Thanks, I know that Butterscotch is having a blast with piggie friends and even though I miss her I am going to continue taking in and helping guinea pigs.
