Oreo

Yesterday, we lost our sweet cookie, Oreo. He lived a long life for a piggie, and we got to have him for almost four of his nearly nine beautiful years. He was there for us when our darling Cinnamon passed. He licked my tears. He was always ready if you needed a snuggle or some comfort. He was a gentle little soul, and we will miss him so, so much.


Life feels very empty right now without my sweet Oreo. But I'm trying to find ways to cope. I made a tribute neopet for him this morning. Donated to a guinea pig rescue. Tried to focus on some organizing. Things I can control in the chaos of grief.
