They are gone :(

I met the new owner, Jen, and her daughter and boyfriend. They were really amicable, which makes me feel better that my boys will be in a good home. I gave them everything I had so they can still be spoiled in their new place. I forgot the grid which is very important for the C&C cage - where the water bottle should be hung. I hope she keeps the C&C cage that I have for Porkchop and Kobe. I will cry if I would see them in a small cage.

I miss them so much. I blame my mom and my boyfriend for hating my guinea pigs. My guinea pigs were the only thing that made me happy since my parent's separation. They help forget everything that happened in the past. I surpassed how my boys were giving me rashes. Love is love - you would do anything for them.

My final hours with them. I put them in their carrier. They stayed there were almost an hour, waiting patiently for what was happening. I fed them cilantro so they wouldn't be bored inside the carrier. They kept peeing on themselves for I had to keep changing the wee pads.


Holding Kobe - knowing I'll get rashes from him but I didn't care

Porkchop couldn't wait and rest for a while

Last Supper

...well with me and my boys. I took so much pictures of them. I gave them the last meal before I sent them off to their new home. I was playing with them last night. Feeding a little extra knowing that it will be the last and I want them to know that I did my best for them. They won't know how they had until I'm gone. I have one more hour until the new owner, Jen, gives me a call to tell me that she will be arriving my house.

Last Night

My last night with Porkchop and Kobe. I took them to the Vet to get their nails trimmed this morning. I should've asked the new owner to help me trim their nails on Sunday since she knows how to do it. The assistant cut too deep on one of Kobe's nails. He has black nails which is the hardest ever. I left my digital camera at my office so my brother was nice enough to drive me from the Bronx to Manhattan to pick it up. I want to take as much pictures as possible so I can remember them. It is very emotional. Maybe I'm making the wrong thing of giving them away or maybe the right thing of starting a new life with my boyfriend. I still haven't seen them sleep.

I will see the owner tomorrow at 1pm. :(

3 days left

I was a little teary eyes yesterday talking to my co workers about my guinea pigs leaving me. This is the first pet I ever had that I'm giving them away. I just hope they will be in a better home with a lot of TLC. My mom was happy to hear the news and she was willing to help me pack Porkchop and Kobe's belongings which got me mad. I try to stay with them everyday until Sunday arrives when the new owner takes them away from me.

Back from Vacation

It's been 11 days without my boys. I came back from my vacation from Singapore, Bali and Hong Kong and I was very tired and jet lagged. But I always have time to see my boys. After the middle of my vacation, I suddenly missed home because of my family and especially the boys. I was trying not to worry about the condition under my mom's hands over the time I wasn't around. I sort of got faith in my mom since I had no one else to rely on. It's so hard to find a suitable guinea pig sitter. But when I saw them yesterday, they were all newspaper in the cage only and two pigloos. I almost screamed. Where were the fleece, the bedding, tissue rolls, the little couch I made and the hidey thing? I felt so sad for them. They were in their pigloos like the first I saw them in the animal hospital. I made it up for them by fixing up the cage. Added the fleeces and their play stuff. They were popcorning which is so adorable. They were extremely scared of me but after many petting, they knew who was the Mama.


I fed them veggies this morning.


I took this pic of porkchop - so adorable
