[Gpdd] [RAINBOW BRIDGE] Isis has left us...

Dear Angela,  I shall cry with you if it's ok!  I had a little girl, a black 
Abby, much like your Isis (who was no doubt queen of all she surveyed) and 
although my Jetma didn't have tumors, the resulting hormonal imbalance just 
burned her up metabolically, she always wanted more food and especially more 
to drink, if I put a syringe into the cage she would grab it straight away 
and try to administer the liquid to herself. In the final months she had to 
sleep in the same room as me in order she could wheek me awake if she needed 
more water. Then she would be all affectionate while I got it and 
administered it, then I got the cold shoulder once she was satisfied and she 
would become a regular piggy again and drop off to sleep. So we were very 
close as she recognized that she needed me so much but I think she missed 
her independence. I enjoyed my times with her, I hated that she had to 
depend on me so, but I was happy I could be there for her. Het name was Jet 
but it devolved into Jet-ma (my Jet). It's been 10 or more years but some 
times I still wake up in the night thinking she needs something. I think of 
her often still, but now in the context of her being at our lovely rainbow 
bridge where she is never hungry or thirsty and she spends her time having 
fun with her friends, and chasing butterflies and leisurely teasing out the 
best parts of the best hay because it tastes so good. Now finally  the 
urgencies that drove her life with me are gone and she just has fun playing 
like Bing, living the Guinea Pig way, in fact I'll bet she has met up with 
him there at the bridge.  Our girls were so sweet and are so missed. It was 
nice your other girls got to say good by, even the one that was confused 
gets the message that she is gone and she doesn't have to look for her.  I 
hope your heart has a nice recovery as you slowly put away the hurt parts 
but more and more member the fun and loving parts.  Lovely Isis
love, Sandy and Sammy
