Bobby has no hair!

Not funny at all! I know where it is ... in the garbage! Step away from the shaver! Do not pick it up again. Call the ASPCA! Wheek! [Bobby, a Texel with long curly hair, has been itching for a while now. He has been treated with Revolution, Ivermectin, Advantage, and Lice 'n Easy shampoo. I saw some lice and eggs/nits again today so I decided to shave off his hair so that any topical treatments could reach the problem. He received another bath and was treated with another meds that hopefully will resolve the problem.]

1 pig turned into 3 pigs!

Why????? That's what I want to know! Not funny! Wheek! [I went to clean Izzy and Emma's cage today and found four pigs in the cage. I wasn't sure if I was seeing things correctly since three of the pigs matched the white and black paw-print cage pad. Last night when I checked there were just the two in the cage. I had no clue that Izzy, who is quite young, was pregnant since she did not show. I did wonder when I gave her a bath last but her sides felt like a couple of other pigs who turned out not to be pregnant. So far they are all doing okay and the babies, who are quite large, look very healthy at the moment. I hope that they all stay healthy long term. I separated them from Emma since she has a history of being obnoxious with her various cage mates and also her own babies.]

Check out Ted's new cage

... he loves it! Why? Because it's smaller, that's why. The other one was too BIG! Wheek! [Ted was fostered for about six weeks and treated for mites as were his brothers. The brothers mellowed over time but he still needs some work on getting used to being around people and being handled. He seems to prefer a smaller cage so he was put in a Marchioro Tommy 102 cage today. It took him a bit to get used to the ramp but now he usually just jumps up onto the ledge to get at the hay and pellets.]

She tossed out 7 cages!

What's with that? Kathy's lost it for sure! Now there's tons of hay ... everywhere! Wheek! [The storage unit was jam packed with stuff and I couldn't get at the items that I needed so I did some cleaning and rearranging. The cages were ones that I seldom used so I ended up tossing them in the dumpster. Then I got three large storage tubs for the hay and now it's less crowded in the storage unit.]

Who is playing with the toilet paper?

What's with that? Molly? Willie? Dorita? I know it's one of you! Call the cat police now! Wheek! [Not sure which one played with the paper today. They seem to think it's a lot of fun to unroll the paper or drag it around the apartment.]
