In Memorandum
This page is a memorial to my late guinea pig, Gip E. Pigginbottom who passed from this life on Tuesday, June 1st, 1999.
Most people might think, "So what? He's just another dumb pet. She'll get over it and eventually she'll get a critter to replace him."
Well, it's true that I'll eventually get over the loss, and I'll probably (in fact, I still do) have other pets, but no creature could ever replace Gippy.
Okay, so at times I wasn't the best friend to him. I sometimes forgot to clean his cage, I didn't let him out to excercise as much as I should have, I didn't always pay attention to him, kept him up late by sitting at my desk witht he light on till all hours... But I don't think Gip ever blamed me. He may not have been the MOST interactive and empathetic pet ever, but he was always good to me, and he never complained.
And so, in conclusion I would just like to say, "Thanks for being my little piggy friend, Gip. And peace to you, wherever you are.
My Favorite things about Gippy
- He was so cute. He was the cutest piggy I ever knew.
- The way it made him happy when I would scratch him on top of his head and he would make little purring noises.
- How smart he was. He would always jump around and whoop when he thought he might get a treat.
Farewell, Gippy! We miss you!
