That is the question, isn't it? VW has never been much of a communicator. Well, she communicates some things. I picked her up for snuggles last night and she was back to her late-2014 OMG I'M GOING TO BE STEW shaking the whole time I held her. She will occasionally accept head-scritches if she's in the cage, so I feel like maybe those are less traumatic and she doesn't even want to be cuddled? I just don't know how to make her life happier. Suggestions welcome.
I was thinking maybe Lil Pouf or Cici should have dinner with her nightly too. Lil Pouf is younger and a bit more docile, but she's actually lived with Cici before so theoretically they might have a relationship.
Incidentally, Dr. A emailed me, and said the tumor wasn't quite a softball -- but it was a large brown hen's egg (over 6cm long). Poor girl has been dragging that around for a while. I'm glad she doesn't have to do it any more.

I'm so sorry, Alden. She was a sweet, gentle girl, and thank you for being there for her to the very last.
Goodbye, Cookie. Please save a space for my girl Dusk over at the Rainbow Bridge, whose situation is so similar to yours, since she may be joining you soon.
Long-distance hugs to you and the rest of your guinea pigs.

Princess Truvy P. Butterbean discovered something this weekend, and shared her discovery with Steve.
The fun thing about the PigCam is that I can spend my morning clipping like a crazy person, think I've made the fleece pretty secure, and then sit at work all day watching lumps of fleece run around. Here's the current view: Cici and a nameless lump over on the right.
Yesterday Steve had sub-fleece zoomies for about an hour. I made a video.

That's Truvy, and minutes earlier she was doing the same thing to Steve, so don't feel too sorry for her!
Cici will also burrow on occasion, but she's super prone to static and I think she's actually noticed the correlation. She's far less likely to be under there than the other two.
