I have lost little Flora

[Catherine]

Flora is the little female guinea pig who was found wandering outside two years ago. She has been living with Murray my big boar guinea pig. They have been really happy together.

Sadly she has been looking weaker and more frail lately. She stopped eating and I was feeding her, but I don't think it made a difference. When I went to check on them she was gone. I guess her heart gave out. It is hard for Murray. All day I have been home and talking to him and keeping him company. So often when I looked at him he was just starring. He has such a sad look on his face and he eats so little.

Flora was a shy little girl.

She was fragile and uncertain.

She blossomed with time and seemed more settled.

She did love the pillows.

It is when Murray started joining her that she relaxed. Yes that is a hamster. My last hamster used to visit her.

They became quite close.

She was a pretty little girl and I think Murray and I both agree, she will be missed.


I am just glad I brought her lots of special treats and spoiled her for the time she had with me. However her life started out, she found peace and happiness with me and my piggies.
