It's been too painful to write about but I sadly had to send Meleri (named after St David's grandmother) to rejoin Gareth at the Rainbow Bridge a week ago when she failed to respond to her meds and quickly deteriorated over the weekend. The timing of her illness in the middle of the car fuel supply crisis couldn't have been more unfortunate. :(

Meleri did come here as a baby together with her sister Miaren via an unplanned pregnancy on The Guinea Pig Forum as potential company for Beryn (who was - literally - scared stiff of them) in December 2017.

After a short stay with very gentle Briallen and Barri, Millie and Mimi eventually settled in well with dominant Teggy and gentle Gareth. Miaren went off on her own to set up house with newly neutered Llelo in 2019 but Meleri stayed on in a closely bonded trio.

Millie was a smallish but feisty sow who made her presence well known and who had the habit of climbing on Teggy's or Gareth's back when begging for food to not be overlooked. It was quite a show whatching the three of them! She started her stay here with squeezing through a normal C&C grid into the neighbouring cage...

Meleri needed one eye removed in April when a very strong abscess caused a chronic eye infection inside the eye and then turned fully blind on her remaining eye (which only had partial sight left anyway) at the same time Gareth passed way. Teggy has sadly lost both her younger companions in just a month. :(

Enjoy the sights at the Rainbow Bridge and be nice to long-suffering Gareth, please!

She was the smallest of Fifi’s babies, but had the biggest character. Sending lots of love and huge thanks for taking such wonderful care of her and for loving her so much Wiebke x

Thank you and thank you for your wonderful bouquet!

The piggy room feels a lot emptier with Millie gone...

Having to say goodbye is so painful and my thoughts are with you and the piggies she left behind. Take care of yourself, I am thinking of you.

I'm so sorry @Wiebke she looks like a character. Beautiful piggy but also looks to have been a little trouble maker. Sounds like there was never a dull moment. May you cherish those lovely memories. Sleep well Meleri. ❤️🌈
 
I'm so sorry you have lost Meleri. She had an absolutely wonderful life with you and her piggy friends, and I'm sure she knew how much she was loved.

So sorry to hear this sad news. That lovely little face, totally adorable! 😍She sounds like a very spirited little piggy who made a real impression on the herd, and of course on you. I’m sorry you’re going through this and our thoughts are with you.
 
I’m so sorry that you have lost the beautiful Meleri. I remember the “twins” arriving with you as mischievous little babies. Meleri was a beautiful lady. Sleep tight at the Rainbow Bridge, Meleri x
 
A lovely tribute to a sweet looking little girl. Much sympathy to you and the tribe.
 
I’m so sorry you’ve lost your beautiful girl, I had such a soft spot for her and she sounded like such a lovely girl with a huge personality. Massive hugs to you and Teggy xx

Sending you my best wishes Wiebke at this very sad time.
I have been in Wales this week and thoughts of you and The Tribe crossed my mind more than once when I passed signs in the beautiful Welsh language.
Sleep tight gorgeous Meleri.

Sending massive hugs.
Popcorn free with your friends at the rainbow 🌈bridge.xx
 
So sorry to hear that you have lost beautiful Meleri. 😢 She sounds such a memorable character, and I just love the perky ears in the earlier pigtures of her.

Popcorn free Meleri, reunited with Gareth 🌈🌈
Sending hugs :hug:
