update and Mice

Sorry for being MIA for a while. I am battling an upper respiratory infection right now, but seeem to be winning. I'm feeling a little better. Still sad about Valor and we also lost Joseph the guinea pig last week. He went to the vet for a minor surgery and passed away shortly after :( It was a shock to all of us, we miss both little piggies so much. On saturday we took in a Momma mouse and her nine babies and one male mouse The male nouse has his own cage seperate from Momma. We named Momma, Siri, and I hope to have pictures of her and her babies soon. Their backstory is - a lady saved them from some children that were treating them badly, but the lady was unable to keep them herself. After two weeks of tyring to find a home or someone to take themm the lady finally found us. And within the two weeks the one mouse had babies which took their saver by surprise! The male mouse's name is Buck Mouse, he will be adoptable very soon. Momma and babies still need a few weeks, the babies don't even have their eyes open yet.

Adoptions and Thinking of Valor

Many adoptions today! Cream and Marvin the guinea pigs; Tripp, Douglass, Merle, Hercules and Ellwood the rats ; and Perry and Pierce the hamsters were adopted today! :) I have been missing Valor today, but his spirit is with us. I wish we would have gotten him well enough to have been adopted into a happy home

Valor

It is with a very sad heart that I am writing today to let you all know that we decided to have Valor the guinea pig euthanized. His battle through pneumonia had many ups and downs, he stopped eating. He was being syringe fed critical care. Early yesterday morning, he couldn't even get up onto his four feet to walk. He was only suffering at that point. Our hearts are broken..but we do not regret any of our time or efforts with him. He was a special soul and a gentle spirit that all of us will remember. Those memories of Valor are worth everything
