Give yourself time.  Aquinnah has only been gone for a short time and she
was a special one.  I have had a couple who needed no "adjustment period"
and they did seem to be the special ones.  Perhaps you just need time before
you bring another home ... I do think Ryvvir will want a friend.

As for your family ... I think that's very normal, unfortunately.  I've
gotten flack for not going to a couple family functions, not major ones that
500+ miles away, when I have a suddenly sick piggie who needs daily meds
("Why do you take them to the vet?  You can just buy another one with the
money for the exam." ... I've never told them the cost of treatment for a
simple illness, let alone prolonged illnesses or surgery.).

I think my family thinks I'm nuts since I now have eight of them ... though
my nieces and nephews think the little furries are really cute.  They do
think my 2' X 5' enclosure is overkill.  I think the last time any of them
came by, I only had five little furries ... and they thought I was nuts back
then.

My family don't hate them (though my mom still think the REW looks like a
tailless rat and shudders at the sight of one), but they don't understand
why I'm so attached to them and treat them like people (even though their
dogs have run of their homes).
