My guinea pig, Ruthie B., passed away last night.
Ruthie was named after Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her favorite activities were eating bananas, licking the salt off people's hands, and hiding under things.
Her lifelong ambition was to be a capybara; while this was never realized she was awarded the Guinea Pig Medal for Resilience in 2011 for surviving a car ride from Bloomington, Indiana to Washington, D.C. She is also being awarded the Guinea Pig Medal for Patience posthumously for allowing her owner to clip her nails on numerous occasions without biting her once, an honor her sister cannot claim.
She was a small pig in a big world, but she was very loved and will be missed.
