Now Charlie is doing laps!

Why? Suki is too fast for him! He will never catch her. Wheek! [Suki regularly practises her long distance running skills and regularly leaves Charlie totally confused as to what is going on. He tries his best but Suki is way to speedy for him. She loves to do figure eights and tight circles along with in-and-out maneuvers. But at least he is trying to join in so he deserves an A for effort.]

Cozy Caves arrived ... they are so warm!

I want one now. Where can I get one? I want to know! Wheek! [I posted earlier about modifying a companion sack made by the Cozy Cavy that I had but did not use. Very soon afterward she started selling her fleece Cozy Caves and they are wonderful. Very warm and perfect for one - three guinea pigs. I bet you and your pigs will love them.] 

Willie is in timeout!

He's in big trouble! I saw it! Wheek! [Willie is part of the welcoming committee at GPF and he needs to make sure that all of the critters here are okay. I was holding one of the two males who came with the rabbit. Willie startled the guinea pig big time when he jumped up on the computer desk. :( The guinea pig scrambled off my lap and onto the floor and ran into the bedroom where I retrieved him. The two guinea pigs are two of the most terrified that I have ever seen but one of them is relaxing a bit. They are also the most amazing since they are so bonded and are excellent with the little male baby who was added when the rabbit was removed.]

Bella not eating .. went to Dr. D!

Why is she in a lump? Move around, Bella! Call Dr. D, now! Wheek! [Bella wasn't eating or moving so she went to the vet last Saturday. I thought she was in stasis (due to fur ingestion from self-grooming) but that was not the case. Her temperature was 105.9 (normal range is 100 - 103) so the vet took her home with her to treat the infection (cause unknown). The fluids and antibiotics brought the temperature down to the normal range so I picked her up on Monday night. She's on Baytril until the bottle is empty; the Propulsid was just for two days. So far she seems fine and is doing binkies when out and about in the bedroom (supervised); she decided to claim the cat tree as her own. She is eating her hay but just a small amount of her measured pellets. She loves veggies (in moderation). Another update to follow at soem point. Thanks again to Janet for donating money for her take-home meds!]

Misha and Belle packed their bags and left!

Why? What's wrong with the food here? I want to know! Wheek! [Anita emailed me that her seven-year-old female had died last week and that Nick might be lonely now. I took Misha and Belle to meet Nick to see if either of them might work out as a companion. Nick was very protective of Misha who is about two-months-old and quite amourous with Belle who is about five-years-old. We weren't sure which would be the better choice so they both stayed while Anita sorts things out. (Belle is the one who was thrown against the wall and her sister died at the shelter.) Stay tuned for an update.]
