We love you Estrella

On Friday morning, we walked in with a petsitter to explain the cage setup, etc. We noticed Estrella was panting hard and so we took her into the vet, hoping they could help her. They put her on oxygen but she was too sick. It turns out she had a sudden case of pneumonia, we had noticed she was losing weight, but not that substantially. We miss Estrella and mourn for her. Rocky and Estrella wrote a short poem.

     "She was an average pig,

Feisty, Mischievous, and Energetic.

She spent her life enchanting every pig and human she met. She was average in every way except, she was the star in our lives, she brought comfort and love where ever she stepped. She was the pigture perfect pig. She narrated her life in wheeks and squeaks and purrs. We love you Estrella."

-Rocky and Honey 

"Wearing argyle fur 

Wheeking loudly whe'er she roamed
Curled sweet paws - 'Strella"

- Cavy Slaves

It's that time... PIGGY FEAST

Every night when the humans make fancy dinners, they bring us what we can eat! Tonight it was a feast of fennel. Although you can't give piggies too much at once, we do enjoy it. We ate using our veggie holder where we have to work for it so we don't turn plump.

Every night we get different veggies so we don't get bored or have uncomfortable stomachs. We get citrus almost everyday! Some citrus that we get are lemons, oranges, limes, and on special occasions, grapefruit. But the humans always get rid of the seeds and wash the peel really well so we don't eat anything we aren't supposed to!
