Tinker was my first (and to date, only) guinea pig. He had been in the pet shop 3 months we were
told, as people kept choosing the younger ones and passing him by, but to us, that made him even
more special.
He was a little character, and squeaked like mad, asking for food, when his daddy (my boyfriend)
said a certain word ("Hiya!"). Or if he heard a plastic bag rustling, he automatically associated
that with food, and stood on his hind legs, asking for treats. He had tantrums when he didn't get
his own way, jumping in the air and stamping his feet.
He passed away only earlier this month, and it just isn't the same without him, I miss the noises
that drove me crazy (when he used to make a racket on his water bottle!) and I miss his lovely brown
eyes.
(Update 12/12/08) Well, I have now finally managed to transfer my old video footage to the computer
my darling, and can update your page with your lovely face. Hope you are having fun with all your
cavie pals. xxxxxxx
Oh baby, I will never forget that night, you slipped away in my arms with Jan next to me. I hope I
didn't scare you too much with my crying, I just couldn't believe you were leaving me, you gave me
no sign it was your time baby. I love you so much.
♥♥♥♥♥ Beyond the Rainbow ♥♥♥♥♥
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.
I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.
I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.
For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

As time goes by I won't forget,
That you were my beloved pet.
You made me happy when I was sad
And just for that I'm very glad.
God took you to his home in the sky.
I miss you son but please don't cry.
Although my heart is broken in two,
One day I'll come and be with you.
I don't know when, but when I do,
I will come and cuddle you.
I think about you everyday.
My heart will never feel the same way.
Until we meet again some day,
Together forever and never apart,
You'll be forever in my heart.
Always thinking of you, never forgotten,
LOVE NOW
& ALWAYS

Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Night falls,
but day dawns to replace it...
Grief comes,
but time will ease the pain...
Life ends,
but death cannot erase it...
In memory,
love always will remain.
There are those
whose lives
death cannot diminish.
Their love radiates
forever in the hearts
of friends
and loved ones,
and their light shines on
in the lives
they've touched
for so many years.

*~*~* MY PRECIOUS TINKER *~*~*
You slipped away
We had to part
God eased your pain
But broke my heart
unknown
Letting go of you
I know I have to let you go.
How I will I do not know.
I know that it's your time to die.
What I don't know is how to say goodbye.
I'll miss you so much I don't know what to do.
I guess I'll just end this poem with a goodbye and an I love you.

A Rainy Day
Things are not as bad
As they now may seem to be
Your life will still go on
Even though it’s without me
These are not tears of sadness
On this day of rain
Please look at them as tears of joy
For I am now free of pain
You cannot know the freedom
Or the peace that I now feel
I hope this is some comfort
As you all now learn to deal
The battle now is over
And in many ways I’ve won
While you might think it is raining
I am warm amidst the sun
1 year ago.....
Well my darling, it was about now, as I walked up the stairs after watching the end of The One Show, that I heard Jan calling you gently and as I walked in the room I saw you laying there on the floor of your cage. You were looking at us both, but had collapsed as you walked towards the lettuce that we had put in your cage earlier. Jan lifted you out and we both cuddled you, I wanted to get an emergency vet but didn't have a clue how to contact one, and I started panicking and crying. Your eye had blown, so we thought you'd had a stroke, I kept massaging your heart area to try and keep you warm (you were so cold) and keep your heart beating. You held on for about 15 mins, but slowly slipped away, just recalling it now it makes me so sad, I'm sorry you had to go like that baby. I love you with all my heart. xxxxxxx

Summerlands
Just the other side of death's curtain are the Summerlands. All the pets who have died go through this curtain and though they can still watch us, we can't see them. Sometimes the curtain is thin in places and we catch a glimpse of our lost companion waiting on the other side. Sometimes the curtain twitches as they look through at us and we can feel them or feel a sudden draft as the curtain falls back into place. The Summerlands exist in the long, lazy late afternoons of an eternal golden summer of remembered childhood; the time when everything seems most alive and sweetest smelling. Our animals are young again and turned to perfect health. There is always space and time to play and love, places to be with others and places to be alone together. When our time comes, the curtain is lifted from our eyes and we can see the Summerlands ourselves. Waiting there for us are the animals and people we loved in life and we can see them clearly at last. The time has come for us to move away from the curtain and renew these interrupted friendships. Sometimes we can't help but take a peek through the curtain just to see how our own loved ones are doing before they come to join us.

Loving an Angel
Little angel in heaven so high above,
Forever we think of you with affection and love.
Memories of you burning forever in our hearts,
In this world of love we are never apart.
Blessed to have known and loved you
Honoured to be loved back so true,
Know little man love is in your direction
You were nothing but perfection.
*** Sleep well, little man ***

Oh sweetie, this time a year ago, you were sitting there, not showing me any signs of you leaving me, and I had no idea what was in store later that day.
If I had, I would have given you more attention that day...I don't feel like I spent any time with you that day, well, it was just a normal day wasn't it, and I had things to do, and you were going to be around for years to come...I would give you a hug a bit later...or so I thought.
You were so jittery when we got you home from the pet shop, and I can understand why, after 3 months of people walking past, pointing and prodding, but not taking you home little man, it must have been so scary. But I know we gave you a good home, and I'm so glad we met you and spent 5 wonderful years with you.
I'm so sorry for the way you went. It was so quick, so sudden, and you died in my arms with me sobbing my heart out. Why didn't I hug you sooner that day? Why didn't I make more of my time with you that day? Why, why, why? I miss you baby, I just hope you are happy and eating lots of carrots at the Bridge. Til we meet again little man. xxxxx
