birthdate unknown, my family adopted her in early september, near my birthday. She came in a pair with her partner, whom we named Callie [short for calico]. She was the much more 'cuddly' one, Coco a bit more shy and skittish. Callie passed a few years ago likely due to an unforseen kidney or liver failure. Coco grew lonely in her absence, and thus during the pandemic my father took to moving his home office next to her cage. He kept her company while i was at school.
My mental health tanked in 2022, leaving me completely dependant on my family to take care of me and my responsibilities, including Coconut. I still feel guilty about it, but despite my condition, i truly loved Coconut. I loved her then and now. I could never predict how much her death would effect me, because here i am, with a guinea pig shaped hole in my heart.
