Junior Guinea Pig
Wasn't really sure where to post this, tbh, it's something I probably shouldn't my feelings are probably much unreasonable but I did feel as though I would possibly find people here who could understand.
I've been looking to adopt some piggies for about a year now, three months ago one popped up that I fell in love with on the website, she went on pregnancy watch, so I waited till the watch period was over counting the days, the day came. She gave birth and a new date appeared naturally. I had been chatting to the rescue and so on during this time, (My housing was approved to adopt, but obvs not the piggie in question since inquiries were not yet valid.) I counted down the days till she would become available for inquiries. Suddenly, before the inquiries opened she was on reserve.
I asked, wondering if my hunch had been correct and she was going to a staff member or something. She's going to a member of staff. While I'm happy for her, since she is the important piece of the story, her happiness and well-being is paramount.
I am also disappointed. I had prepared some part of myself too for that possibility but still it hurts. I felt a connection to this piggie without even meeting her. It felt exactly like when I saw my last adopted piggie online on the website, you just know. And I haven't felt it since all of this happening. Like I look, see they are cute/beautiful and I hope the best, but I feel nothing. And I've even gone through the whole process of giving up entirely.
Upon this I have tried to also become a piggie foster parent but got rejected too. Since I don't drive. I think the rejection is just getting to me, but it's really knocked me about. I broke my toe a week ago and I think it's giving me much too much time to stew. I needed somewhere to vent, since I have nobody to talk to.
