Atticus – 2013 to 31st January 2017

We are sending lots of hugs to Auntie Dawn and Uncle Wayne, and to Digby, because they lost Atticus last night, after a short illness. We're going to miss you, big boy.

Dylan went to the Rainbow Bridge last night after a short illness.  He'll be with his brother Dougall, and his uncles Victor and Humphrey, whom he missed so much.  So glad you came into my life, sweetheart, even though it could never have been long enough ❤

Hector died in my arms today after a series of health problems. Hugo will be waiting for him at the Rainbow Bridge. Rest in peace, my loving but troubled boy. We'll be in mourning for the next seven weeks, as is the guinea pigs' custom.
