> Hello Piggies & Slaves, I have some Sad news to share. I had to help my Wally Pig to the Rainbow Bridge. Unfortunately, his health had been failing for a while and he was on antibiotics on and off since last summer. He fought as long as he could but when he was ready to go to Heaven, he let me know when it was time, and I helped him over the Bridge. I am very Sad as I have lost my Best Furriend but I am also relieved that he is at Peace now and not in any pain. And by now, he surely has been reunited with his Beloved Wife, Ellie of New York.

He ended up at the Heritage Humane Society (HHS) in Williamsburg, VA where I Adopted him on June 5, 2015. Well, it didn't take long for him to start spreading lots of Joy on Facebook every Holiday with his silly personality and cute, little hats. In the Spring of 2016, he was featured on the front cover of Midway Veterinary Hospital's advertising brochure and later that year, he was featured as the December Pet of the Month at Fenwyck Manor Apartments. On January 7, 2017, Wally married his Best Furriend, Ellie of NY and that was the Best Day of his Life! Although it was a virtual affair, the Love was Real and that was a Beautiful thing. Sadly, Ellie had been sick for a while and so he lost his new Wife later in 2017 due to her illness. Of course, Wally vowed to Always Love his Ellie Bellie and his Heart remained hers and now they are together Furrever. Last year, Wally was featured in the 2019 Pet Piggies on Parade Calendar, which is a special calendar that Cavymadness.com put outs every year. Cavymadness.com is a website for Guinea Pig Lovers and has all kinds of information such as care, health, food, events, and even a gift shop. Wally proudly represented the month of April and was also featured on the 'Proper Pig Provisions' page. He was also one of the Spokespigs on the Cavymadness Facebook page for a few years and every Holiday, he thoroughly enjoyed spreading Happiness to the Piggies and the Peoples.

> Wow!! For such a small, little critter, he sure did have a lot of Love to give! And I just want to Thank You all for allowing him into your Hearts for all of these years. I want to Thank HHS for taking care of him until he found his Furrever Home (with me!). I also want to Thank Tammy (Rubicat) for allowing him to spread Holiday Cheer on the Cavymadness FB page. I want to Thank Mike Frazier for giving him a voice in his Fun Holiday videos on Facebook and I want to Thank Joanne Colangelo for taking such Good care of his Wife, Ellie and introducing them! And last, I want to Thank Midway Vet Hospital in Chesapeake, VA for taking such Wonderful care of my boy all of these years and for gently helping him over the Rainbow Bridge.
