Where to begin?
Been too busy here to take the time to update the blog; it's time for a recap of what has been happening at GPF. Tibby and Pippa, the two pigs from the shelter, were fostered and then placed by the shelter three days after they went back. Licorice and Sam, who was also being fostered, were placed later that week. The big news is that Nick was adopted and is now living with Coffey, a seven-year old female who recently lost her cage mate. For the past year Nick needed special care that put off adopters but that self-corrected over the year and he is fine now. Izzy had her bags all packed and ready to go live with her sister but one of Sasha's two cage mates got sick so that was put on hold. Suki still sneezes occasionally but exhibits no other symptoms. She has been seen by two vets but so far the treatment has not resolved her problem. The next try may be a look at treating for possible allergies. More big news, this time for Luna and Suki. They were first tried together two months ago and that did not work out well at all. I tried bonding Suki with Izzy and Izzy immediately attack
ed her (as she did later with Kylie). I tried Suki again with Luna and they hit it off immediate and spent their bonding time popcorning and running around the bonding pen. On a sad note, Tigger the little guinea pig who was abandoned and later found cover in mud and suffering from scurvy, was PTS due to his medical condition which did not improve. When he was PTS the intake person said that he was the saddest guinea pig that she had 
ever seen. Rest well on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge, Tigger and then enjoy your fill of fresh veggies! Bella, the stray rabbit, had a couple visit her to see if she is mellow like their own rabbit. She is but they are still looking around for now. If you are looking for an awesome very user-friendly rabbit t
o adopt, please contact GPF. Suki has been very busy inspecting her new van whereas Luna found no food in the van so she quickly left. Luna doesn't seem to be scratching as much now like she did when she first got here. She's had a variety of treatments and will receive one more dose of the non-diluted Ivermectin. After Charlie's long drive he went to the spa where he got a bath and haircut. He was 
neutered on Saturday and hopefully will be paired up with either Kylie or Izzy. It was very hot here recently so the guinea pigs got to try out Becky's ice pack covers. Suki, Luna, Dolly, and Kira especially loved them! Kathleen wrote today to say that Oscar and Pyrn are doing fine. She mentioned that when she took them out on an errand she heard some people say "look at the baby teacup Shih Tzus!". (They are Peruvians.) The web cam is still down since someone else is publishing it as their own overseas.
