Junior Guinea Pig
Hi
I am a member of the Guinea Pig Daily Digest, an international online guinea pig forum. Each year they organise a candle lighting event on March 9th to remember Peter Gurney, a tireless advocate for guinea pigs but also to remember all of our guinea pig friends (whether human or animal) who have gone across the Rainbow bridge ahead of us. I wondered if anyone here would like to take part. I post below a copy of the post:
"You are invited to participate in our fifth annual "Light for Peter Gurney" candle lighting memorial on Tuesday, March 9th, 2010, at 8.00 pm.
This is a "real" event, as everyone is invited to light a real candle at or around 8.00 pm, in your respective time zone, in rememberance of our beloved friends, and all of the guinea pigs who are now with them, at the Rainbow Bridge. Peter Gurney was a tireless advocate for guinea pigs, who passed away from cancer July 1, 2006, in Great Britain. He wrote many of the books that we use, and he was probably the best guinea pig authority and advocate in the world.
March 9th was his birthday, and many of us who read the GPDD decided that it would be a fitting day to remember and honor him. We have now expanded this memorial to include and honor our dear friends who are with him at the Rainbow Bridge. Basically, all you need to do is light a candle on March 9th, in the evening, and the light will move around the world.
The memorial is also for all of the piggies who have passed away and are now with Peter Gurney. We know that he and our friends with him are looking after all of them.
This will be our fifth memorial candle-lighting, and at the end I will ask you where you lit your candle, and post a listing of all the places where the light went. So, mark your calendars for March 9th at 8.00 pm!"
If you are interested in taking part, I would be happy to compile a list of all of the locations in the UK where we are lighting candles and post it back so we can be included in the list showing where candles were lit around the world.
