Little Cat Feet

Shaggy and his littermate brother Scooby came to live with us in October 2005, when they were 5 years old. Scout arrived in 2006 at the age of 6 weeks. Scooby passed over very suddenly to the Rainbow Bridge on April 1, 2012 and is remembered fondly and missed deeply.

Going to the Bridge


Our oldest and sweetest guinea pig, Emma Sue has started preparing to go to The Bridge.

That is Emma on the left from a few years ago with our other female, Sasha. Emma is an old piggie now, about 8 years old and lately has been losing weight and is quite bony.

Today she is resting in her igloo in her cage on soft pine shavings. She has refused her morning carrot, and says she just wants to rest.

Please join us in wishing Emma Sue a safe passage from this world. She will be joining many other piggies we have had over the years who will greet her with happy guinea pig squeeks & squeals.

Awww... I hope your trip to the Bridge is easy, Emma Sue. Squeal extra loud when you see your friends there...and then demand they show you where the Cheetos are. That's what I'm gonna do.

We'll try hard here to make Scooby, Shaggy, and Scout feel better about you having to go. And your people, too.
