Lonely

[Lunapxggies]

Hello, Last night around midnight I lost my girl river who i had for only 4 years. I think she passed from an unrecognized URI…she had a cage mate rouge who is not even a year old yet. I am not sure when the right time to get rouge a new cage mate would be. She is a very social piggie (with other pigs) and loves interacting with them so I’m thinking soon I just don’t know if I am ready for another pig, and I know it’s not about me its about her happiness I am just so stuck on losing two of my girls in the same year
