Why wouldn't you? You have done a great job with Fodhla. I'm sure that the rescue wouldn't want anyone to rake her until into the NewYear.

I can recommend having matching animals of some sort it really is lovely.

Mr ArklePig says no dice.
He says we need to wait til the one we have is more reliably trained. I'm inclined to agree with him but also it is fate.
I will work on him later on. Cross fingers for me!
@PinkvSantaboots maybe I can use it as next years Secret Santa clue??
TBF the guinea pigs are sisters too, so it's only right.

Nothing wrong with setting up a playdate between the two of them. If Fodhla takes a liking to her, it’s fate.

And we're nearly ready to drive home for her first Christmas in ROI with her extended family.
Pray for us that we all manage okay and are invited back next year.

Is there anything more rewarding than seeing your training pay off in front of you? She came in to the in laws house, had a bit of a sniff around, politely asked for a fuss, ate her dinner, and went to sleep in her bed beside me. In laws are very smitten with her.
I'm so proud of her I could burst*
*am aware I'm being disproportionately proud of a 3 hour period but I really am happy.

She is the best child :3 and not disproportionate AT ALL. Be proud of your girl and proud of all the work you've put in. Kiss her for me ?

You should be so proud of the progress you and her have made. What a superstar she is ?

Thank you both. She's just the very best girl.
Mr APs parents are being very good to her and I spotted a pressie under the tree with her name on. His mam in particular is just obsessed with her she keeps telling her how pretty and nice she is ?.
Fingers crossed we continue in the same way.

Just a thought Arkle, if you are thinking of taking her regularly to Ireland, get an irish passport for her while you are out there, much cheaper than the animal health form that needs completing if you are from the UK.

NI passports still act as an Irish/EU passport so no need

Fodhla has done a poo in the shower of the main bathroom - approx 10 minutes after being brought out to the toilet. She hasn't had an accident in our own house in months.
Amazingly, the in laws still think she's a great girl. I give out about them sometimes but they are saints ?

At least it's in the shower and not on a nice rug!

This crossed my mind, I'd be at the boxing day sales looking for a new one first thing tomorrow ? very considerate of her all things considered.

Years ago, we had a cat who, if couldn't get to his tray, was always very considerate and went in the bath!

She may just have found the whole Christmas experience a bit over-exciting/ overwhelming.
ArklePig

Yes, I would think so! She's been as good as gold ever since. Kind of got a bit peed off last night, she woke up from her sleep after dinner and started wandering about having a sniff and FIL acted as if she was tearing the house apart. Saying about why won't she sit down. She'd been sleeping for 2 hours she was just having a look about.
As someone who lives with her I know she's coping amazingly and really enjoying the extra attention (and to be fair no one has hassled her) and I'm happy with that.
