This year it was me, Pavarotti, representing the Prairie Pigs for our Peter Gurney Memorial Candle Lighting ceremony. (Pig Mum said it was safe as long as I didn't come too close, but I had to have a good look at the candle myself before tucking into the cilantro bribe....)
We have many guinea pigs, rabbits, cats and mice to remember on March 9, and this year we had a special moment of silence for the lovely Daddy Slave of the Piggyfriends, husband to our Auntie Penny. Guinea pigs do not like to travel too far from our own hay boxes and refrigerators, so we never met him but the Piggyfriends speak so fondly of him when we have our secret midnight international piggy Zoom chats that we feel as if we knew him too. We feel as if he might have heard about us from Auntie Penny, and that he might be watching over us too from the Rainbow Bridge.
Of course, we are also remembering Peter Gurney, and we are so very thankful for all of the knowledge he spread on the proper care of guinea pigs, and how much he did to show the world how rich and entertaining life with piggies can be!
Pavarotti, you are aptly named, as your photo is very artistic! We (Nugget and Scottie) were also very interested in our candle. Yes, we are sure your Auntie Penny's husband saw the special tribute. Your Mum and the other Prairie Pigs are certainly proud to have you as their representative.
