Olympia Dukakis



Olympia gets a bath from Wonder



Ifrit and Olympia

Ifrit was put to sleep February 25, 2008
She had lost the use of her rear legs over the course of several days.  We took her to the vet, hoping it was an ear infection or otherwise treatable, but he pointed out a small tumor on her spine.  She would only get worse and die slowly while we watched her decline.
She tweeted and chirped happily as he carried her back to give her the shot, we all stood around and cried.
Her funeral was lovely, we waited for Matt to get home and buried her next to the rats in the side yard.  She was wrapped in a green cloth and we laid her on a bed of Timothy hay, her favorite treat.


Oreo Blizzard Skunkfluff
Blitz

Blitz is our new piggie, bought so Olympia would not be so lonely.  We waited a month until the kids were ready to have a new pet and while the initial meeting did not go swimmingly, after a day or two, the pigs were getting along without MUCH issue.
