For those special friends that have crossed the rainbow bridge to play in a field of kale.
Sophie - Febuary 2009 to August 2009
Rest In peace baby girl, We miss you so much, I miss the way you'd snuggle up close to my head whilst we slept. I miss when you would snuggle up and rumble with joy. You couldnt "wheek" towards the end, but you sure tried, you tried so hard at veggie time. It was such a cute sight. We hope your loving your field of kale. Sleep tight angel Sophie.
Lucky - January 2010 to March 2010
You were named Lucky because you survived a fall when you were very young. We found you snuggled with your Mummy. You were in your forever sleep. I'm sorry we couldn't save you. Sweet dreams forever and always. With lots of Love from Your human Mummy and Daddy. You are missed by all of us here at Popcorn Paradise.
Roam free my beautiful girl.
Love Mummy and Daddy
Domino - January 2010 to July 2010
Domino, you were the first to appear out of Mummys nest, the same day you came to us. You were so nosy and would explore everything. You tried so hard to copy your Mummy climbing the bottle, 5 days later you managed it and i was so proud. We watched you playing with your Brothers and Sister. I loved how much you explored the cage, your siblings would copy you and follow you around. Then it was time to transfer you and your Brothers to a big tank all of your own. You were the first to explore, you didn't mind me taking a billion pictures, you loved the camera and would pose so much.
At 11:25 your need to meet your Sister was too much for you to bear and you climbed your way onto the bridge. Mummy was holding you and Daddy was stroking your tummy as you took your last breath. I do hope you felt we were there. Roam free at the bridge with Lucky. Sophie will be watching over you two.
Sleep tight my sweet boy. Mummy and Daddy miss you so much.
Love you always.
Bernie - June 2008 to July 2010
Dear Bernie, you wern't with us long but you made a massive impact on our lives. I fell in love with you as soon as I saw you. You didn't like being picked up or touched but I soon won you round. Im glad you allowed us to get close to you. We hope that whilst you were living with us you saw what it was to be loved and cared for properly.
Roam free over the bridge free from pain and with a heart full of love.
Love Mummy and Daddy.
Max - March 2008 to July 2010
Max, As soon as I saw you I knew you would break my heart some day. That day came on the 17th of July 2010.
The first time I saw you something was telling me to keep you here with us at the rescue. Within the first month you had lost a lot of weight and were struggling to put it on again. You had Kidney and Liver failure. We didn't expect you to live for much longer. You proved everybody wrong and continued for a few months to warm our hearts and live happily with your wifey Sammy.
Throughout your time with us you won so many battles. You won the battle with Urine Scold, you learned to walk correctly free from pain from the burns on your belly, your sore man bits and feet. You learned to trust us. You learned how to wrap me and Daddy around your little paws. Oh how he misses you.
I miss you following me around when I moved, I miss watching you try to wheek for veggies. I miss your piggy kisses and most of all I miss you snuggling upto me on the bed. I even miss the fact you would use me as a toilet!
It was Daddy that found you that morning, he gave you a cuddle and then gave you to me. I checked you over to see what was wrong, hunny it seems you had a stroke between 4am when I last checked on you and when Daddy found you during the morning feed. You were still bright eyed whilst laying in Daddys lap, but we knew it was your time to go. You had your first seziure in Daddys arms and your last in mine. After the seizures you came around and seemed happy, even moved your head around looking at various things in the room. We didn't leave your side till you passed, even after you had gone mummy kept you in her arms for a long time. I wasn't ready to let go. I hope you knew we were there, i'm sure you did as you responded to my voice.
I hope you forgive me darling, I just couldnt bare to see you suffer anymore. Your eyes told me you'd had enough.
We love you so much, we will see you again some day.
Im sorry I couldn't write this sooner sweetie, but the pain was just to much to bare.
Love Always
Mummy and Daddy
Noah - November 2009 to August 2010
Noah - 8th august 2010
You took a long time to adjust to being handled but we got there in the end. You were so happy when we took your storage tub "home" away and gave you a cage to climb. You were very adventurous and spent most of your day hanging from the bars at the top of your cage. You loved climbing and did it so well. You had such beautiful eyes and stunning ears, we hope to see them again one day, for today you roamed a little further than you used to in your dreams.
I hope you have as good a time over the bridge as you did being a part of our family.
Run free Noah.
Love Mummy and Daddy
Alfie, Felix and Harrison - January 2010 to August 2010
Alfie Felix and Harrison, your bond was very stong. Even though you couldn't stand to be in the same tank as each other you liked to be close by. Your tanks where pushed together so that you could see each other. All three of you trundled to the bridge within the same week. You are now together at the bridge with your brother Domino and your sister Lucky.
Have fun together as a family.
Love Mummy and Daddy
Bumble - July 2008 to September 2010
You were such a sweet little girl, I fell in love with you the moment you trundled into our world. You had very silky soft jet black fur, very dark loving eyes and a heart of gold.
You were a little angel, you loved to explore the front room and your favourite place to sleep was in an egg box.
Sweet dreams sweetie
Love Mummy and Daddy
Miny - September 2009 to September 2010
Upon checking on Miny at 1am last night it was clear he wouldn't be with us for much longer. I made sure he was comfortable, wrapped up in his favourite bit of fleece (donated by a member of the forums - thank you, he loved it).
I spent his last hours with him snuggled up talking to him, letting him know that it was ok for him to go and play with everyone at the bridge. 4 hours passed untill it was time for him to trundle off to the bridge.
He took his last breath at 05:09 in the morning.
Love Mummy and Daddy
Boo - August 2009 to November 2010
You came to us in a very sorry state, but within a week your coat looked better, your eyes looked brighter and you were full of life. Your sister Peek misses you and sleeps in your jar.
You were a very naughty Gerbil but we loved you so. It's rather quiet without you rattling the clip on your suspension bridge.
Roam free over the bridge, safe in the arms of our forever angels.
Buddy - 1st November 2010 to 3rd November 2010
You came to us with your very large family. Unfortunatly everyone in your Piggy family was very very ill, including your Mummy who tried her best to give your Brother, Sister and you the best start in life. Unfortunatly Mummy couldn't produce enough milk for all 3 of you, so Dan and I took over. We kept you warm and trickled some food into you. Unfortunatly though Buddy, you were just as ill as your Mummy and you found yourself drifting ever so close to the bridge several times.
You are now safe in our forever angels arms. Free from pain.
Roam free little lady.
Violet - 1st November 2010 to 5th November 2010
You took your last breath whilst laying under my hand in your bed. You liked having my hand over you, I think it reminded you of your Mummy when she would feed you.
Sleep well little one, roam free over the bridge with our forever angels.
Tucker - 1st November 2010 to 9th November 2010
Tucker got his name because of the way he loved food!
You were such a little fighter, but unfortunately the damage was already done and you were just too sick. You are now reunited with your Sisters and able to roam free, far from pain.
I will remember fondly your wheeks for food and how you would bolt around your cage when you knew it was veggie time. You were steady on your feet at 6 days old and since then you didn't stop moving. I will remember forever the way you slept in Maisies' (Mouse) cuddle cup. Everyone elses was far too big for you. You would stick your head up as if you where playing peek a boo.
Roam free sweetie, sleep tight.
Lola - August 2010 to November 2010
Lolek and Huru - Born sleeping - 12th November 2010
Lola Joined the bride alongside her two unborns and her two babys that where born sleeping. Unfortunatly lola was very ill and her body just couldnt cope with pregnancy too. She died due to complications of birth. Just a baby herself at 14 weeks old.
Roam free beautiful. You will be free from pain, and off popcorning with your bubs, at home with our forever angels.
Joshua - June 2010 to November 2010
Today you joined the bridge. Your death didn't
come as a suprise but we still cried. You were
found roaming in somebodys garden, in the cold
and rain. When you arrived at our rescue we
started you on a variety of treatments for your health issues. You were happy no matter what we had to do. You never seemed sad and were always happy to help! You spent many hours sat on my lap as I added forum posts and did paperwork. You also helped Dan and I unpack our food order. You chewed the boxes open whilst we put the food in storage.
As soon as your cage door was open you where poking your head out for a head rub and a cuddle.
You are terribly missed. Run free little man.
Oliver - June 2010 to November 2010
You were a special little Hammy. In August this year you stopped breathing, everybody thought that was it for the "crazy hammy" known as oliver. I wasn't ready to let you go and something was telling me to pump your chest. I spent 5 hours bringing you back. You gave me movements and groans in this time so i carried on. Within a couple of days of you being in an observation cage you where creating havoc and spending a lot of time chewing on my paperwork! You went on to have a happy healthy couple of months of life. Unfortunatly your body knew it was time today, we couldn't bring you back.
Run free beautiful boy, have fun at the bridge.
Caramel and Whisper - June 2010 to November 2010
You died as you lived, together. The only difference between your life and your death was that you were warm and well fed. Unfortunatly being outside in the freezing cold with no food and water for so long before we were called had already taken its toll on your little bodies. We wish we had had more time with you to get to know you much better. We take comfort in the fact you enjoyed your last few days in comfort and warmth of a loving family. You are sorely missed, run free girls.
Tristan - December 2008 - 15th January 2011
Tristan you were a complete sweetheart, even when you were naughty you could melt our heart's in an instant and boy did you know it. We will remember fondly the funny faces you pulled when we talked to you. You were always interested in what we were doing, you just had to be in on the action. I will miss the cuddles, you gave and Daddy will miss you trying to get infront of the camera at every chance you got. Tristan you will always be in your forever home, always in our hearts. Run free young man, popcorn with all your might at the bridge.
Spider - August 2009 - 16th January 2011
You were a very scared and nervous little girl when you arrived, it was understandable with all the problems you had. You eventually calmed down and stopped biting everyone and everything but you still didnt like to be held. That was ok as we knew you where happy. You loved to climb the cage bars and hang from your bell toy. We will miss watching you try to stuff everything into your pouches. Run free at the bridge little miss.
