I looked for weeks to find little texel babies. You were the last left available in your litter, just born a few days prior. I knew you were the perfect guy for our family. I picked you up a few weeks later. We drove 5 hours in a terrible, terrible storm to pick you up. I’ve never drove in such terrible weather. You were 3 weeks old on the dot, born March 24th. We decided, on the way home, you were Nugget.
You were the happiest, most wonderful guinea pig I’ve ever met. Even when your brothers fought and squabbled, I would hear your out-of-place happy chirps above it all. You were never nasty a day in your life. Your personality was so full of life, you were the biggest lover. I don’t want to say I had a favorite, but I chose you to get tattooed on me.
2 weeks ago, you started to sick. You were on four different medications, but nothing worked. Putting you down was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make, but you weren’t yourself anymore. There was nothing you or I or anyone could do to help you anymore. You were just 10 days shy of your 1st birthday. There hasn’t been a day that’s gone by that I haven’t missed you. I love you forever and ever, Nugget. I picked out the prettiest urn for you, it has your name engraved on it.
