Today I got Raj a wonderful new friend, Bhindi. When I returned home it appeared he had already passed. I had also dropped CoconutPie off at the vet to be cremated with her friends and released into an apple orchard, hoping to magically eat the apples
from that orchard this coming fall...Raj was barely alive. Bhindi
only seemed to stress him out, so he is now with YumYum and VinnyGuinea playing chase and working out their herd "pecking order" with lots of running about and circling, racing through tunnels...I don't feel safe leaving Bhindi in for the night or unsupervised, but we'll see...perhaps over time and once their two large "pens" are connected, doubling their space, the may be
able to all live happily together. Bhindi lived with two other males.
What I am trying not to say is that I may not even stress Raj tonight by force-feeding him his carrot juice. And I will not take him to be euthanized. But this Valentine's Day he will receive the Gift of Holding him in my arms on my lap with all of you present as he passes.
And now my tears are fogging up my reading glasses.
Thank you all and Good Night.
love,
Chana
