When I got up this morning, I discovered that my little guinea pig Ada had passed away overnight. Respiratory infections are very hard on these little creatures. She was 6 years old, pretty good for a gp.
So I’m not up to being on online today, which is a blessing I think.
@macgenie I’m sorry to hear it. Every time we take an animal in, we’re giving away a little part of our heart to it.
@macgenie So sorry for your loss Jean. Jenni and I have fond recollections of our brief time with Ada. Take care.
@macgenie lots of love to you and little Ada. I’m glad you had six years together. I saw this little fellow recently and thought of you. It made me smile. Hope it’ll make you smile a bit too. Big hug xxx
@macgenie I’m so sorry to hear about Ada. My thoughts are with you and Ada’s companion (Grace if I remember right?).
@macgenie So sorry for your loss, Jean. Pictures of Grace and Ada always warmed the timeline for me. My condolences.
@macgenie I’m so, so sorry for your loss. I know from all your lovely photos over the years she was truly family. May her memory be a blessing.
@hollyhoneychurch That did make me smile. Guinea pigs are just so adorable and cute in a goofy way, they are perpetual smile generators. 💙
@macgenie I’m so sorry. I’ve been behind on the timeline so heard about it on @theweeklyreview - my heart ached hearing you talk about it.
@macgenie and they smell really yummy too (something I remember from childhood looking after the school guinea pig one weekend : ) lots of love xxx
@macgenie I’m very late to see this and respond, but my thoughts and wishes of peace and healing are with you!
@sarcassem @bitdepth @cygnoir and everyone: thank you for your kind thoughts. I am doing a lot better, no longer weepy all day long. Grace is figuring out how many additional portions of treats she can con me into giving her. Grace still hides with her treats, always concerned someone will steal them away. Of course she is projecting her own larcenous tendencies onto the rest of the world.
