I wasn't ready.

[Livia Rabideau]

I wasn't ready to think about getting a friend for my Chewy who lost his cagemate this week. Unfortunately, Chewy was very sad. He would hide in his house all day. He wouldn't come out. If he did he ran like he was terrified. He normally is a very relaxed happy boy that I can reach down and pet. He wouldn't make a sound either. I made the decision to try to find him a buddy. We found this little guy that my kids named Wicket. It's hard to look at him to be honest because we all still miss Jimmy. Chewy bonded with him instantly. They sleep next to each other. Chewy is back to his happy popcorning self. I guess it doesn't matter if I was ready, I guess Chewy was. I am glad he is feeling better. I know I will too. Meet Wicket.

Its so lovely that you have found it in your heart to give a wonderful home to Wicket and to recognise the fact that Chewy needed a friend.

Thank you. I feel guilty like we are replacing Jimmy, but I didn't want Chewy to be sad. He has never been alone.

You aren't replacing Jimmy, you are adding a new piggy to your family to love and enjoy.

When you can put your piggy's needs first in the face of grief it speaks volumes. It's thanks to you that Chewy has discovered he can be happy again

Wicket has such beautiful facial markings - like a piggy of 2 halves
It’s wonderful that you have been able to open your heart to welcome in a new companion for Chewy. No pig ever replaces another. Jimmy will live on in your hearts.

Welcome to the family Wicket. What very unusual colouring you have.

 

[piggieminder]

I am so sorry to hear you lost Jimmy.
Wicket will sneak into your heart when you're not looking.

 

[Zanzan]

Wow what amazing colouring on that face! He will make himself a new space in your heart, not Jimmy's space but a new spot just for him.

Beautiful! So glad they bonded well
