Mr. Bubbles and Scruffy
Thinking of Scruffy today and decided to add this photo of him to his memorial. What a cutie he was. I miss those guinea pig cheeks.
I really miss him. Some days more than others, depending on how I'm feeling and what is going on. Grady has the face and cheeks like Scruffy did. He's amazing, but not quite the same. He doesn't let me rub his chin either. I'm still working on it, but I don't think he'll ever do that.
It's already been a year since Mr Bubbles passed over the rainbow bridge. It went by so quickly and so much has happened. In addition to losing him, I lost my mother, step dad (who raised me), my step mom, an uncle and a step brother. Despite losing so many family members, the sting of losing my best friend and wingman hasn't really diminished much. I got the privilege of having Zachary Binks as my guinea pig. He came at the most opportune time and his personality really helped soothe our broken hearts. That, unfortunately was short lived. Sometimes it feels like the world is out to make me miserable. During those times, I talk to Mr Bubbles and I fall back on the countless happy memories of our time together. I know the pain of his loss will get better over time. Remember Mr Bubbles. Rest in peace, my little brother.
He's the best pet I ever had. I have tons of photos of him. I have them in their own folder in my library. I still look through them regularly. I will never forget him.
That is true. Losing anyone is so sad but your heart animals, they can be so much harder to let go. He was so fortunate to be loved by you.
Even though it can be so rough and getting another is hard, I have always felt I could wait 5 minutes 5 years. That pet can’t come back and since I adopt, I am helping two animals. The one we take out of the shelter and the one that has a space in a shelter now.

Today is Scruffy's day. It has been 4 years since he left us for the green pasture of the rainbow bridge and I still miss him as much as I did the day it happened. I have my Grady, who is a lot like Scruffy was. Same rosette pattern, same habits and same Abby personality. The only difference is their colors. I will always look back on my time with Scruffy with gratitude for the joy he added to our lives. Remember him today.
