Guinea Pig

Polka

You were my first & favorite guinea pig.

You were born a runt but I took you home.

After a while I brought Ruby to keep you company.

You two had so much fun together.

We would all play together.

We were happy.

Then one day you got sick from scurvy.

We drove you to the vet's office.

I cried all morning because I was scared.

When I got home I learned you had died.

I was very sad.

I had you cremated & I put your ashes in an urn.

I have no photos of you.

I hope that in heaven you can read my words.

If your dead nephew Zues hasn't told you,

You have two nephews:

A boy Napolean & a girl Rockette who is a runt also.

I ache for you.

I love you in heaven still.

You are dearly missed by all.

Luv Kira
