Hi all,
Must be the weather. It is very very quiet here lately.
Doesn't anybody have something to report, positive or negative or would like to discuss something. We do not have to go to epic lengths like some of the recent threads some may have read on the Essential Baby Forum.
Okay I must admit not much from my side either. I had hoped (as you do) to get a phonecall after our holiday 2 weeks ago, as back in February when I last spoke to the agency they were saying that several PC kids were coming to the area and maybe we would get lucky. But no phonecall. then I thought, maybe they wait and make me the best birthday present ever. But my birthday passed on Monday and no phonecall there either. I will call them again next week how things are going, but not getting my hopes up too much
Even had a not very happy early birthday present on Saturday/Anzac Day when one of my guinea pig was in obvious distress. After doing the impossible and finding a vet open on Anzac Day the only humane thing to do was to put the little darling down as her respiratory system was shutting down. I suspect she had a stroke, but who knows, no post mortems for guinea pigs. Now I have her sister left at home who fortunately still seems okay. We borrowed one of my SIL's guinea pigs to keep her company, but that did not work out, not that they were fighting but my SIL's guinea pig got panic attacks and I was afraid to have another one dying on me from a heart attack. So I took her back yesterday. I will pick up another guinea pig, a younger one, from my SIL on the weekend to try again, maybe not all piglets are that neurotic, my SIL has 5 of them (they used to have about 12, but they gave several away and some died)
So that's my story for now
Cheers
