Zachary Binks
Thank you. Zachary Binks was unique in that he embodied all of the best traits from all of the guinea pigs I've lost. I said that before, and it's true but he had some of his own too. I'd be willing to bet that he had some traits that all of our piggies had. I'm just so sad that he was here with us for such a short time. It almost seems cruel to send me such a great friend who mends our hearts and then turn around and take him away. I find comfort in the fact that I gave him a great home with lots of love.
Today marks one year ago that we lost our Zachary Binks. I'm still a little bitter that he was taken from us so soon after he brought such joy and healing after the losses we had. He was such a sweet and lovable guinea pig. Life does have a sick sense of humor, doesn't it? Perhaps the rainbow bridge needed him more than we did. As difficult as it is, I try to focus on the good times we had together. It truly was an honor to have him in our lives, even if it was only for a few months. He has the most adorable face and his bubbly personality still makes me smile every time I think about him and look through my pictures. He had traits of all my guinea pigs who passed on. It was like I got the chance to enjoy them all one last time. Thank you Binks for making our lives better at a difficult time when despair had us in it's grip.
Please join us in fondly remembering him today.

Thank you Daisy. It certainly has been tough the past year or so. We lost Mom, Dad, step mom, brother, uncle, Mr Bubbles and Zachary Binks since October of 2022. Sometimes it feels like we're just waiting for the next shoe to drop. I'm sending you my best wishes and hope that things get better for you very soon. In the meantime, I hope this cute little face puts a smile on your face like it does for us.


Wow! It's really been 2 years today since Binks left us? Still seems like yesterday. That's always how it is when you lose someone so precious. I'm still having the same bittersweet feeling from having him in my life. The healing and happiness he brought and then losing him after such a short time with us. I get through by focusing on the positive, which far outweighs the downside. There's no cage to clean for him, no veggies to wash and prepare for him and no soft fur to pet or snuggle with. Only a little box of his ashes and a picture frame to keep clean and dusted. There's only memories and only good ones and that's enough. Please remember Zachary Binks today and always and celebrate his time with us, as short as it was.


I wish he was still here. With him, Mr Bubbles and Dean all gone, I don't have a super snuggler anymore. The rest of my guinea pigs do snuggle, but not the same way those 3 did. Like you see in that picture. Maybe I can get Buddy to do that. He's still pretty young, so there's a chance.

Sweet little Zachary Binky.
I hear you regarding a snuggler. My little Gidget was a lap pig and I sure miss that. Millie is a stealth pig and a sneak-attack expert. She pops out, nips, and runs for cover. And she hates being wrapped in a blanket. Ruby Sue can’t sit still and has to be chewing, digging, and flipping her hideys over.
Maybe little Buddy can learn to enjoy chilling out and relaxing with you.
