    New Guinea Pig!!

    My wife and I have bought a new guinea pig for the girls. We were all saddened by the sudden loss of Cinderella 2 months ago.

    Cookie was pretty sad as well. We went to the pet store last night, and picked out a real cutie. This morning I had them "meet" and it went well. Our plan is to sneak her into the cage on Christmas Eve. For now, she is staying in my office in the old cage we used when we only had 1 pig.

    Cookie seemed happy for the new addition. Cookie is the black and white. The new one isn't named yet.

    Heres a pic:

    That's wonderful! Your kids will be so excited. Mmmm. Look at all that yummy Timothy hay. They must be very happy piggies.

    Your new one looks like my Ginger, only with a lighter coloured head. I'm happy to share the name with you.

    They look lovely. I don't know how fast your piggies are, but ours are like little rockets!

    Do your's 'popcorn' much? Ours are always jumping up and down. Makes the girls laugh like crazy!

    Ginger used to "popcorn" when she was younger. They are about 4.5 now and both have tumours so they don't jump much anymore. But they are still very fast. Especially Echo. For a big ball of fat, she can really move!

    Ginger is the affectionate one. She loves to have her hind end scratched much like a cat. When you pet her, she'll drop down to the ground, start making cooing sounds and wiggle a back foot out behind her. It's hilarious to see. She's also very chatty. We hardly ever hear Echo make a sound, but Ginger is very expressive.

    Good show, Beefy. Ya gots to take care of them children-folk. When making the decision of whether to take of you or not through the decrepit years the new addition may turn the tide.

    Surely little Rich will love its new home.
    So, I broke into the palace
    With a sponge and a rusty spanner
    She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
    I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

    Not as compelling roasting on a spit though...kinda anti-climactic like a miniature Stonehenge lowering from the ceiling.

    HUH?

    You rang?

    However, good going good Dad. I think FA's kids have a better playground than yours do but I'm sure there are lots of laughs when... what's its name... shifts into psycho mode.

    I have a friend whose 17-yr-old daughter went to Equador for 8 weeks as part of a high school credit course. She went to live and work with a family who owned a Guinea Pig farm. They farmed them as food, not pets. She ate Guinea Pig a few times while she was there and said that it was actually quite good.

    You couldn't get me to eat one unless my life depended on it.

    So Beefy, how did your kids like their livestock Christmas present?

    I had a girl friend just like that. She moved to Texas. Maybe I'll give her Rich's number.

    Out of respect for beef & his pets, I'm not going to continue taking this thread in the current direction.
