Latte

[Catherine]

Quote:The pens are quiet still. Annie and Ethel are beginning to realise that it is just the two of them now and don't let each other out of their sight without making a fuss.
Marigold, in the adjacent pen, was in the habit of sitting at the barrier and waiting for Latte to join her and they would lean against each other and groom each other through the barrier. During her last days Latte made a great deal of effort to continue to meet Marigold and indeed we helped her get there on more than one occasion. Marigold has been waiting at the barrier every morning since Tuesday, I wish I could help her understand.

That is so sad for the girls, especially Marigold. Did you let them see Latte after she died. I found out from the hamsters that it is better if they see their dead friend. They understand. They still grieve, but they stop looking.
Odd that Marigold is the one who misses her the most. I suppose Latte was the only piggie company she had even if it was through the wire. It is touching how deeply guinea pigs bond with each other.
They share the sense of loss with you.
Everywhere you look there must be an absence of Latte. I am so sorry that she is gone. Big hugs from my piggies to you and your piggies.
