Mr. Bubbles and Scruffy
Oh he is. When I put him back in his cage after cleaning his eye, I put him in head first. He spins around and rushes up to the front for his carrot. He grabs it like "yeah you better give me something good after doing that to me". He's definitely got attitude, but he's a love bug too. He's by far the best guinea pig ever.
Mr Bubbles has turned 6 years old now. He seems to be doing well. His eye has mostly cleared up. He's got some slight drainage from his nostril on that same side. Nothing major but we're monitoring him closely for that, arthritis, weight loss (no signs of either yet) and everything else that comes with his age. Thought you would want to know.
Mr Bubbles passed away peacefully of respiratory failure in my arms today at 1130 AM. He was 6 years and one month old. I thought you should know.
He wasn't just a guinea pig. He was my wingman and best friend.

I am sorry for your lost. RIP Mr Bubbles run free in perfect health with your buddies and munch on the green grass. He will never be gone! Look in your heart and he will always be there! He knew how much you loved him and to leave in your arms was a perfect way comforted and happy for his final journey! Sending big hugs!
I'm crushed right now. I'm barely functional. This one hurts more than any other guinea pig I've lost. At one point, I wished I could go to the rainbow bridge with him, but my better sense kicked in and I realized how ridiculous that was and that I'm needed here for my family and my remaining pets. I'll post his tribute later. I still have a lot of processing to do before I can do one that does his life the justice he deserves.
