Me Wanna Share

Well Daddy was sitting on the floor with me last night, with what was obviously a very yummy drink in a carton.

I jumped up with my front feet on his hands to get a taste and guess what he did..... he poured some onto his hand yuck (some went on the floor to but mummy doesnt know)

Well I was not happy with that so I jumped on his hand again and tried to nibble the carton and grab the straw but he wouldnt let me.

Now if he wanted to share my drink he could have it straight from my bottle no problem, these humans have no idea of manners and sharing.

Pffffffffffttttttttttt

I want my food in the Bowl!!!

Well whenever mummy gives me my fresh nibbles she puts them in my food bowl, I race out of bed to the food bowl and drag the bit I want back to bed.

Well the other day mummy put the food next to me in the bed area pffffffffttttt, I had to get out of bed drag the food with me to the bowl, put the food in the bowl and all so I could pick the food out of the bowl and drag it back to bed with me.

Mummy says she was trying to save ME time!!!

Hmmmmmmmmmmppppppppppphhhhhhhhhhh

Me Has Spurs

Like many other guinea pigs I suffer from spurs on my front feet.

These are hard dried bits of skin that grow out from the foot.

Here is link to good description and photo on the guinealynx website.

http://www.guinealynx.info/feet.html#spurs

The spurs on the piggy in the photo seem to grow out of the bottom of the foot, mine grow up the side up of my feet and are also a lot darker than the photo.

Mummy thinks I may have got mine from sitting with my feet overhanging my old mezzanine floor which was plastic and uneven due to chewing (I now have a melamine mezzanine floor) who knows I may have developed spurs anyway.

When mine get long they irritate me so I either have to wait for mummy to cut them down with the nail clippers or I chew them off myself.

I have sometimes pulled them with my teeth but that hurt and made them bleed when they came away from foot where they were attached, I have learnt and now I only bite the side bit off NO PULLING.

I prefer to remove them myself so whenever mummy tries to cut them I throw myself about and wriggle and try to bite to put her off, she can be determined though and between us we keep them short.

If you have spurs make sure you or your human keeps them trimmed down as they can catch on things and pull off causing you pain and bleeding and risk of infection.

You have been warned!

Naughty Daddy

Me was in the garden mowing the lawn and Daddy gave me some flowers through the wire so me ate them.

Daddy then called Mummy and said are these alright for him to eat I have just given him 4.

They were daisy's

Mummy hasnt been able to find anywhere that says if they are good or bad, luckily for me they didnt make me ill (lucky for Daddy to he didnt have to sleep outside!!)

The lesson is you cant always trust your human

Now do any of you know if daisy's are good or bad?

Me is Famous

Along with many other guinea pigs!!

I appear on the guinea pig jamboree, a blog dedicated to photos of cute guinea pigs (and who could be cuter than me??)

Check me out here

Despite what captions say me loves bath time.

Its not a Subway!!!

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!

Well I finally suceeded in my mission to get behind the sofa, and I must say the cats have a better sofa than mine if they get to a subway.

I got behind the sofa and all I found was dust and dead flies YUCK!!!

Then I realised its not a subway, its a ........... time machine, I had gone back in time to before the horrible noisy hoover was invented, what else could explain all that dust???

Now I need to figure out how to make it take me somewhere interesting.........................................

Reading for Humans

If your human is anything like mine they love reading about and looking at pigtures of us guinea pigs.

Mummy says for cute pigtures and handy tips your human should read the books by the late great Peter Gurney, the man was seriously addicted to us!!!

There is also a webpage of health tips your humans might like to use here is the link   http://www.oginet.com/pgurney/

For detailed anatomy and an indepth list of foods and what they contain mummy likes the Guinea Piglopaedia (try saying that after your carrot rum!!) this is written by Margaret Elward and Mette Ruelokke.

So now you can get your humans reading and while they are doing that you can get up to mischief heeheeeheee

And yes humans really can read!!!!
