This came up on my Facebook memories this morning 😞 Today would have been Ella and Esme’s 3rd gotcha day. If only I’d have known this time last year that last year would have been their last before Ella passed away in October and then Elizabeth passed away on Christmas Eve 😞 and although Esme is happy in her new home with @Wiebke today is a sad day for me as I never imagined myself piggyless and I’m missing having guinea pigs so much 😞

They are absolutely lovely it's so sad losing them perhaps you could do something to commemorate the day, write a letter to them, draw a picture, make a photo collage, donate a small something to a guinea pig rescue in their name? Not that it'll make your heartbreak any easier but it might help a tiny bit 🌈
 
Anniversaries can be tough.
It’s perfectly understandable that you feel sad when you remember your beautiful girls.
Hugs. 🤗

Knowing that it would be their last Gotcha Day with you would have been soul-destroying for you; it would not have made it easier. Trust me.

Esme is sending her wheeks. She mugged Begw this morning to exchange a piece of green pepper for a nicer bit of red pepper, so she has settled in really well with her new patchwork piggy family. :D

I did this. Made a collage of my past and present piggies and had it printed in canvas that I can hang on the wall. This made me see my rainbow piggies every time.

I guess it would have been soul destroying knowing that was there last gotcha day. I’m just missing having guinea pigs a lot right now

Please give Esme a little kiss from me. I’m so glad she’s settled in so well with her new family 😍

I can understand how that feels.
The first thing I did when we got home from our trip was check the piggy room.
It’s a habit and a constant reminder that there are no piggies at the moment.
Hugs 🤗 and more hugs 🤗
