A very belated Happy New Year to all! Why are we so late? Well, so many things have happened and the consequences of those are that sadly we are having to close The Ark.

We opened in 2009 and from that moment Laura (and Su) have been lucky enough to run a hugely successful venture. It has all been the most tremendous fun and massive privilege. Along the way we have met and made so many friends both furry and human! Thank you. We are signing off for a while. A well earned rest for Laura. We are thinking of it as not the end of an era, but a start to a new one.

We’ll leave you with some pictures of our herd as of this moment - so Laura will still have her “fix of furries” and a tranquil picture of The Ark. Who knows what the future will hold but we think we can safely say it will include a few guinea pigs of our own!!

It’s CHRISTMAAASSSS !!

From our herd to your herd, merry chomping and a wheeking good year !!

To all our human family, friends, customers and followers - we wish you the best of this season and hope you enjoy a happy and healthy time. Relax and enjoy.

Talking of relaxing – here’s our “lot” starting their feast. Polly and Anna snuggled in for Christmas – that face!! Also Banoffee, Blueberry and Tinsel preparing to wait for their visit from Santa. Banoffee and Blueberry are particularly excited, as it’s their first Christmas – they’ve put in rather a long list to Santa!

May all your wishes come true. As usual, thank you so much for trusting us with your precious piggies and for all your custom throughout the year. We will see you next year and until then, keep healthy and happy.

With our love

Laura and Su

Awww! It’s the end of term – well, our end of term anyway. As you all go back to school and we head towards Christmas (what a thought!) we, of course, close for the season. It’s sad for us, as all our furry friends go home and we have to wait until next April to holiday with them all again. You can always have nails clipped though and don’t forget the spot on – keep those nasty itches away!

We couldn’t go without a last look at some of our guests and a big thank you to you all for trusting us with such precious things. We hope we got it right and will see you and your furry family members next season. We’ll be posting our own updates so stay tuned. For now, stay safe and warm.

When Cookie, who belonged to Matt and Bethany, went to start her new life over the rainbow bridge, she left behind some treats that time didn’t allow her to finish.

As she couldn’t be with us personally over this half term, we kept her with us in spirit and distributed her donated goodies out between our guests.

You can see Py and Theo and Bill and Ted enjoying some of the edibles and everyone benefited from her donation. We even used the sawdust in the cat’s box mixed with some catnip! It was very popular indeed!

A last thank you then to Cookie and a fitting memory to a long standing and much loved guest.

Remember our babies Banoffee and Blueberry? Here they are, now 8 months old and having a frightful time! It’s their first “Hallowheek” but they’re not afraid of no ghosts.

In fact Banoffee is trying the “trick” of a creep up on Tinsel to include her in the “spirit” of the season. Tinsel is far too chilled for that and understands the “treat” part better!

We have fun here at The Ark, whatever the season, but we do keep our doors firmly closed as too much screaming frightens the little ones, so no tricks or treats here – anyway we have enough monsters of our own!!

Remember to keep your pets calm and covered to create a safe haven away from noise and fireworks. Even inside pets can be stressed by a noisy party.

Have fun – stay safe.
