Remembering Peter Gurney March 9th

Hello from Scottie and Nugget! We're making sure our candle is ready for the Peter Gurney Candlelight Memorial, an annual event that began on the Guinea Pigs' Daily Digest in 2006.

This event is a tribute to the late Mr. Gurney, celebrating his great contributions to the health, care, and knowledge of guinea pigs.

Please join us by lighting a candle on March 9th, Peter's birthday, at 8 p.m. in your time zone and keeping it lit for an hour, if possible. In this way we remember Mr. Gurney as well as other friends (human, furred, feathered, and finned) who have passed on.

As candles are lit in each subsequent time zone, our light travels around the world.

Afterwards, a list of locations is posted at the GPDD, so we hope you'll e-mail pg_memorial@gpdd.org to let us know where you lit your candle. (No names or e-mail addresses are posted, just your location.)

We're looking forward to the big day, and we hope you can participate, too!

    Thanks for the reminder, Scottie and Nugget --- you are two very well-organized piggies! The Prairie Pigs are looking forward to the candle-lighting here also.
