Gina & Peggy
My cavy friend, Peggy, died in April after a long life of 7 years. Peggy
was preceded in passing by her sister, Gina, in 2004. Gina (guinea) and Peg
(pig) were adopted from the Iowa City Adoption Center in 2001. They helped
to foster several litters of kittens and even a few unruly adolescent
felines. Gina and Peggy enjoyed timothy hay...especially the seed
heads...grapes, raisins, and cucumbers. Their favorite book was of
Historical Feminist writings which they pulled off the shelf and ate in
increments, gaining them the nickname of "Female Feminist Pigs." Peggy, I
hope that Gina was waiting at the rainbow bridge to guide you to vast fields
of timothy hay and organic grapes where you are both popcorn jumping,
squealing, and shimmying with delight. You are both loved and missed very
much. You made me laugh every day.
The photo is of Gina (on left, sweet and elegant) and Peggy (on the right,
with the perpetual bedhead or punk rock hairstyle) shortly after they were
adopted.
