| In Memory of Emma and Everett Rest In Peace December 8, 2004 |

| Emma She loved to wheek and cuddle. She let no one pass her cage without making them scratch her back. She was an absolute love. We will always miss her. |
Everett He was the more timid pig. Always wanted a carrot or other treat before he would trust you enough to allow any scratches or cuddles. He was a sweet boy who will always be in our hearts. |

| Emma and Everett both passed away on December 8, 2004. Emma was very old for guinea pigs ~ almost 9 years. Typically, a domesticated guinea pig's life span is 4-7 years. Everett was only 5 years young. It looked like Emma had died in her sleep of old age and because these two pigs were best of friends and so closely bonded, Everett passed away that same day. We suspect he died from a broken heart over the loss of Emma. We loved these pigs dearly and miss them every day. Anyone who met them would agree, they were the best of pigs. |

| PS: For any concerned pig lovers out there, we removed the cedar cage litter shown in the pictures immediately after we were told the dangers of cedar to small animals. These pictures were taken about 2 years ago and just happened to be the best pictures we took of Emma and Everett. So, have no fear, they did not suffer from cedar exposure. | ||||||||||||||||||
