Boars in Stockholm (Kongos diary)

Harrys family is very thankful for your love. We're very sad. The Guinea pigs has always been my responsible, and I have always been their human. But Harry might have seen my as his mama, but every human as his friend. Anyone could put their hand into Harrys cage and scratch his back. He was so very trusting and loving with everyone. It'so so weird not seeing his bangs jump around or hear his purring.

Ben has spent the day under the loft or in the cat-box. He eats, but he's very quiet. He came when he got his buffet and now he's snoozig on my shoulder. He seems to enjoy the company and some peaflakes. Little baby ,♥️

Bennys takes some hugs too! And leave a fantastic teenage-pee smell after him.

Ben will have a week, further I dont think I can stretch it. He's not "there" with us humans yet, where we can be an okay social substitution while waiting for weeks for a friend. It feels very weird in my heart to take these decisions right now but its not raining babies in Stockholm. I've contacted Bens breeder and a Abby-breeder. The abby-breeder has boys ready to move next week. No, it does not feel right. But it wont feel right in three weeks either. It will feel better when Ben has someone to play with it.

It's great you are putting Benny Boy's need in front of your own. I hope he likes his new boar friend.

Benny is a very typical Coronet from what I've learned about them. He had a mild personality, playful and friendly without being to much. I think he can be friends with almost every Guinea pig, and a sassy little abby can be fun. He needs someone brave, like Djingis Kahn, because he really is like daddy Harry - a total chicken!
 
I’m so shocked to read about darling Harry
He was the piggy we all loved too and who had us all smiling and laughing with his antics
I feel very fortunate to have known Harry thru the forum 🌟
He will never be forgotten ❤️
Amazing that you are thinking of Benny when you are grieving
I hope you find him a nearly great Dad
( Harry was the best Dad❤️)
 
It's always incredibly hard to take in a new piggy soon after loosing a loved one. But we all know how lonely piggies become on their own, especially the young ones.
When I still had two-piggy-groups, I always got a new piggy as soon as possible and put my grief a bit aside during these days.
I know how hard that feels but you are not replacing Harry.
You are giving Benny a chance to be happy again.
And with a little time that will help to heal your heart as well. :hug::hug::hug::hug:
 
You really make me cry with all your beautiful words ♥️
Harry was a true star at home too. Such a messy but nice little Hairbrain and big personality. I felt so close with him, even though he was with us for just a year. With Harry I truly feel grateful I was chosen to be his mama. I'm shocked about his passing, but I'm thankful it was the way it was. I'll never know how it really was, but the time frame from the last time I saw him and when I found him tells me it must have been quick.

I cant replace Harry. I learned that you feel very guilty and everything feels so wrong in the beginning, but the new pig is a new little compadre. My love for Harry wont fade, just like it hasn't fade for any of my lost boys. I know it will come a day when I can think about my little Harry Handsome and smile about the sweet memories.

Ben is way too young to be put on hold, waiting for me to get ready. Is it one thing I can truly say it is that I know Harry lived his very best life with us. He had everything and more. Ben is ofc gonna have that too!
 
Ben needs a friend, but it could be difficult finding a new dad as patient and friendly as Harry. Perhaps an older piggy? Perhaps neutering and finding a female? Or a neutered male. You have good judgement and piggy intuition though and I am sure your choice will be good ❤️🙏🐾🥰
