Latte

[Catherine]

I see your point about the guinea pigs running from the dead and a dying piggie trying to leave the herd. Hamsters always spent some time almost as if they were trying to wake their partner. They would eventually walk away. When I didn't show Ginger Bear to Victoria, she continued to look for him for weeks.
Lucy cried for Sean(a high pitched squeaking) for the rest of her life.

I can see your girls clinging to each other for awhile until they get used to Latte's absence. After Pigbert died, no one would eat carrots for days. They always let him have all the carrots and no one wanted to be the first to take one of his carrots. We all grieve differently.
Funny how much Marigold liked Latte. They were friends as equals since they both were dominant females.

Latte was such a strong personality that her absence must be like a large hole in all your lives. I know it gets better, but I feel for you in these early days.
