Several days ago, I was very shocked to find that Meredith the chinnie had passed away. She was Ellis’s sister—our chinchilla with congestive heart failure—and a bonded companion to Lexi.

Hero is doing better after some oxygen support and a dose of Lasix.

It may seem like a small win, but to me it’s a big one:

I’m in a bit of a tizzy—Hero isn’t feeling well. 😔

I’m so pleased with how Novel is coming along.

Just a little Parody appreciation post. 💛

I really thought I’d have to move Parody to a hospice foster home because of his difficulty getting along with other piggies. And then he got so sick—I honestly didn’t think he’d pull through. That’s when I moved him to the couch cage, and everything changed.

With heavy hearts, we’ve made the decision to bring Memoir in for humane euthanasia today. She’s no longer able to swallow even water, and while we had hoped to wait for our regular vet on Monday, it simply wouldn’t be fair to make her wait and suffer. 💔

Haiku is truly a character.

Hero is growing like a weed! 🌱 But I do have some concerns about his teeth. I’ve been trimming them once a week—which is thankfully pretty easy—but the color of his top teeth often looks like a sign of scurvy.

We are very excited to announce that Snow White has found a wonderful forever home! Congrats pretty girl! You will be so spoiled!
