He's super cuddly.

Check this out y'all.
Xaica can now get close to Tika without losing any fur over it.
Success so far. Keep paws crossed though. But they have been in cage together since intros and no one has been harmed so it's looking good.

Also the ever popular Roden ear!
He loves ear smooches.

MORE bad news,
Lost Daddy's baby girl.
Sadness. Dealing my way.
Love you all.

I'm sorry. She was beautiful

I am so sorry Tex. Grieve in your own way as there is no wrong/right way to grieve. She was one beautiful daddy's little girl and still is. I am sure she left you and your husband, a huge hole in both of your hearts.

Oh no, so sorry Tex.

I'm sorry to hear this. It's always hard to lose one of our little ones. :(

So sorry for the loss of your furry friend.

I'm so sorry, Tex. She was such a beautiful and unusual color and seemed to have really bonded with you guys.

I'm so sorry, TexCavy. It is just so hard to lose a beloved guinea pig.

I am so sorry. These tiny creatures leave such a big hole in our hearts.

I'm so sorry. It's always so hard & she looks like she was a special one.

You have such beautiful pigs, Tex

Today I put in for an appointment to take Roden and his two girls in to meet possible herd additions at Texas Rustlers Guinea Pig Rescue sometime in Dec. or Jan. Waiting to hear back. No rush. Tika being elder now I may take in two so that if she goes to the bridge in the next year I will still have four in the big cage. She is the one the meetings depend on though. Since she the one that pulled Xaica's hair straight away and spent two weeks chasing her away and such in the cage. Thankfully it is big enough that pigs can be two levels away from one another a good part of the time till they get used to each other.

Tika is so beautiful.

Thanks Jane. She's my sweet biting baby. nips mostly. But she is boss of the herd. I am glad she and Xaica get along now. I've had boars that never settled their differences. Was not fun. Made me even think for a long time that boars getting along was rare. Was just my first two dominant ones though. Boars can get along sometimes I learned. Even often.

We will have one hour on the morning of 6th to get Tika to accept a new herd member. I'm not confident about that sort of time limit. Might as well pick a guinea pig, bring her home and not even make my babies have to ride down there. But they won't do it for me like that the way Julia used to. I wish they would believe that I'm pretty good at matchups between piggies. That seems like a ridiculously short time to set aside for intros.

Must correct my mistake.
I misunderstood. We will have two hours for guinea pig herd intros at the rescue on the 6th. That's much better. However there are only two single females available at this time. I hope Top Pig Tika will like one of them.
