Theodore “Teddy” was born on September 4th to Rosita and Choco. He was quite the little guy back then. Munchkin had a blast taking care of him and babying him and his siblings. Eventually, we sold Rosita and Teddy’s sisters, so he and Choco were quite spoiled as guinea pigs.
When Choco passed away, Simon and his son Alvin came into our lives. Munchkin and Daddy had gone over to adopt Alvin from someone who needed to get rid of their guinea pigs, and they ended up coming home with both Simon and Alvin. Simon was a HUGE guinea pig, and he was very loving. He kept the two youngsters in check, but sadly, he passed away shortly after we got him. We suspected that his weight and the food the previous owners were giving him played a roll in that.
It wasn’t long before Teddy and Alvin were buds. Teddy spent the most time with Munchkin as he enjoyed the human interaction more than Alvin. In fact, he liked to spent time with her while she did her homework. Alvin, on the other hand, preferred to stay in the cage and just interact with Teddy.
Teddy had been experiencing a some health issues over the last couple months, but Munchkin continually nursed him back to health. On Saturday morning, Teddy was running around and squeaking for food as normal. On Saturday afternoon, Munchkin went to get him out of the cage to spend time with him as normal and found that he had passed away. With many tears, she said her goodbyes.
Thanks for the many memories, Teddy. You were a great animal companion for Munchkin. You spent time with her as she did her school work and comforted her when she was sad. We’ll miss your silly antics and squeaks. Rest in peace sweet guinea pig.
