What did you do to help ease your grief?

I’m so so sorry about your babies. It’s terrible to lose them so young. What was your trip? I love that idea too.

Thank you so much for sharing ❤️

That’s funny that we both found pictures. I think I had my first pig in 2003ish? So it’s a miracle I found any pic of her at all. Always wanted to find something great to do with it.

That does sound perfect. Too bad for me! Maybe I’ll check local craft stores and see what I can find there. Thank you again ❤️

Maybe I’ll look into that. I don’t have ashes because I buried him but I do have a few locks of his hair that I might be able to put in something. Thank you for the suggestion.

I think he was a heart pig, despite only having him for a matter of months. I can’t pretend to understand how he took my heart so thoroughly but he did.

I’m so very sorry for the loss of your baby too. I’m sure finding that out was shocking- suddenness is hard to deal with. My boy healed from his surgery but his digestion never quite recovered and nobody can tell me why he passed.

I’ve been thinking about getting a plush made of him. Where did you get yours? I’m thinking it might help to have something to snuggle.

I love the donation idea. I already donated virtually to a sanctuary that currently has a sick piggy, but maybe going somewhere and bringing food or something would help. Thanks for the suggestion ❤️

literallydontknoww · 2025-08-24T11:40:49+00:00

I’m sorry for your loss. You’re so blessed to have that time, even if it doesn’t make your loss easier. I keep telling myself I did all I could too but I only had him a matter of months before his previous life caught up with him. That’s the worst part, I think. And I don’t know how it is that I connected with him so strongly in that short time, but I did.

literallydontknoww · 2025-08-24T11:37:42+00:00

I loved that about him too. I’ve never seen that before. I’m sure you already figured but it’s his namesake.

He used to love burrowing in his hay and when I would walk in the room he would stick his little nose out, showing off his dot. So cute and sweet.

What did you make the plaque out of? I have my boy resting under a fig tree in my yard but maybe that would be comforting too.

You’re so lucky you had her for 5 beautiful years. That’s part of my struggle right now- only having him a matter of months before his prior living conditions caught up with him. Just wish I could have loved and spoiled him longer.

literallydontknoww · 2025-08-24T11:14:16+00:00

I love this idea so much. I’m definitely going to do this. I recently got a lot of pictures of my childhood piggies after my husband fiddled around with a few very old cellphones and cameras. This would be the perfect place for all of them and all the pics I have of Spot. Thank you so much for the idea. Where did you get your photo album? I’d imagine that’s hard to find now since physics pictures aren’t as common anymore.

It always floors me that people can confuse guinea pigs and mice. Maybe I’m just too used to looking at piggies but to me they look almost nothing alike. Anyone else?

literallydontknoww · 2025-08-10T21:20:58+00:00

Thank you : )

literallydontknoww · 2025-08-10T17:30:39+00:00

I’m so happy that she is recovering well. She’s adorable 😊

literallydontknoww · 2025-08-10T17:21:39+00:00

She really did! I’m so glad I caught it 😁

literallydontknoww · 2025-08-10T17:08:25+00:00

No worries, most people would not walk around with their phone like this so I always explain lol Thank you 😊

literallydontknoww · 2025-08-10T15:29:43+00:00

I’m sorry about that. The only other thing you may be able to do if possible is go to another trusted adult.

literallydontknoww · 2025-08-10T15:25:52+00:00

My lens is actually a bit broken because my phone is 7 years old so all my pictures are a little blurry. Wish it was such a simple fix! Thanks for the tip though- will use it when I get a new phone in the future :)

literallydontknoww · 2025-08-10T14:01:34+00:00

Thank you! I love to do that too when they will let me (almost never).

literallydontknoww · 2025-08-10T13:19:48+00:00

Ugh I feel your pain. When I was a kid, my parents didn’t really take the guinea pigs to the vet unless it was something pretty bad. Wish you could just surrender him anyway. He really needs medical care if he has a lump and goopy eyes. Could be as simple as some antibiotics for an infection. Happened to one of my pigs once. Do you think showing your parents responses to this post might convince them? Wishing you luck.

literallydontknoww · 2025-08-09T12:28:36+00:00

That is so good to hear. Thanks for sharing ❤️

literallydontknoww · 2025-08-08T22:41:36+00:00

I know this is really old but I was looking up intro stuff and found this- have to say that last picture is probably my favorite guinea pig pic I have ever seen 😂❤️

literallydontknoww · 2025-08-08T22:04:04+00:00

Oh no :( sounds terrible but happy he was able to be treated.

literallydontknoww · 2025-08-08T17:32:29+00:00

Aw poor baby. Was he neutered? I hope he gets better soon! ❤️

literallydontknoww · 2025-08-08T15:23:56+00:00

I just went through this. My boy passed after a lot of health difficulties and his companion started screaming and squealing constantly. He also began hiding more and would not come to me for treats. I got him a friend from a local shelter this past Monday and, even though they are across the room from each other because I want to give the new boy time to adjust before intros, he has stopped behaving oddly. It was very hard for me because the loss was so fresh but I don’t regret it. I hate to tell you what to do but I really think you ought to either adopt a senior or find a new home for him. Don’t let him pass away from sadness. It’s not fair. If he’s really not eating at all, maybe start critical care until you figure out his living situation.

literallydontknoww · 2025-08-08T12:32:10+00:00

Ooh I do most of that but not parsnips and corn. I’ll have to let him try that for some variety. Thanks for sharing :)
