the final straw

[familyr]

Having a really shit week, which has come at the end of a really shit Feb. Not in a life or death way thankfully, so still plenty to be thankful for but more things breaking, job going down pan, reached end of tether with home schooling blah.

We've been looking for a little addition to our guinea pig herd and finally found the perfect fit in a local rescue. Just the most beautiul little pig who we reserved a couple of weeks ago. I've been gazing at her photo while we wait to pick her up next week whilst she's under 'pregnancy watch'. The kids have picked a name. You can probably guess where this is going but I messaged today to find out exactly when we can collect and she called back to say she's so sorry but she gave her to someone else at the weekend. Apparantly she thought they were me.

Not going to lie, I've been crying most of the evening. AIBU to be so upset by this.

op

I'd be slightly concerned though that the local rescue don't know who they're handing out animals to

The rescue lady is having a tough time too at the moment and I think just got me mixed up with someone else in due to her stressed state. SHe was very apologetic, and I was obviously polite - I get that mistakes happen. But still, I can't believe someone else has my guinea!

Oh god op that would send me over the edge, yanbu.

@familyr

I get understand you I would have been a bit miffed,well pissed off with this small animals welfare place too.

The woman running needs to be in future bit more careful how she conducts her business.

You will sooner or later in near future find another set of guinea pig set family just as cute ,maybe even more so. 😕
