Shaggy and his littermate brother Scooby came to live with us in October 2005, when they were 5 years old. Scout arrived in 2006 at the age of 6 weeks. Scooby passed over very suddenly to the Rainbow Bridge on April 1, 2012 and is remembered fondly and missed deeply.

At The Bridge


Emma Sue went peacefully to The Bridge around 11 pm last night as she was held gently in mom's arms.

Thank you everyone for your soft purrs and kind words to her and our family.

At the Bridge she will join the others members of our guinea pig family that have passed away over the years: Boris, Buttercup, Zeus, Theodore, Ned, Georgie, Chessie, Sammy, Spunky, Sid, Little Bo, and Eddie.
She is survived by our two remaining piggies, Toby & Sasha.

We are so sorry to hear that Emma Sue ran off to The Bridge. Mom, too, had a guinea pig when she was young, named Spunky, who was there to greet her.

Dooods, I'm really sorry. It's cool that she left while being held and loved and that she has friends waiting for her at the Bridge, but I know it hurts anyway.

Emma Sue was loved and held by her family, which makes for such comfort for her as she passed onto the bridge to run free from any pain.

I'm sure Emma felt it a blessing that she could be with you as she passed. To meet one's end in the company of loved ones is as easy as it gets. I hope there are many a joyous reunion in the latter day.

Our deepest purrs for the loss of Emma Sue...may we offer this which we believe with all of our heart..

"when I am old and no longer enjoy good health and sight, do not make heroic efforts to keep me going, I am not having fun.

Please see that my trusting life is taken gently.

I shall leave this earth knowing with the last breath I draw that my fate was always safest in your hands."

And so it was...
safe in the arms of the love of Mom

purrs
