Lucky pigs

The house has been freezing all night. There's a burst pipe in the village, so no water, hence no heating. Lucky guinea girls have their own halogen heater and have been warm, cosy and happy.

At least Chloe brighten up our evening by chirping, which she hasn't done in a long, long while. It's just the cutest thing. I wish I knew why she does it. New this time was that Keleigh walked right up to her and started stamping her back feet every so often. Front seats at the world famous guinea pig concert! What a treat!

Satisfied Pigs

I switched the halogen heater on for the guinea girls tonight. They are at the moment sitting in their food tray filling their bellies while staring with dreamy expressions into the glow of the heater. I just cannot believe how much they enjoy it.

While the guinea girls are satisfied and lazy, we humans are trying to decide whether to extend their little herd or not...

Beauty Pig

By popular demand, here's a picture of Twinkle showing off in her hat! Isn't she just pretty?

Depressed Guinea Girls

The guinea girls are all depressed today! They are sad because we are back at work tomorrow and they will miss us. They really enjoyed us being around all day, coming in for a wee chat and picking them up at any time!

Yeah right! Keep dreaming. They will probably be glad to get the house for themselves and will enjoy regular feeding times once again!

Grumpy Pigs!

The guinea girls are still on their diet and it shows. They don't look any fitter but they are really grumpy. There's a lot more arguing going on. Molly and Twinkle had a proper fight yesterday: the first one I've ever seen! Also a lot of shouts coming from the Keleigh - Chloe corner this morning. Chloe can be a right bully at times.

They are still getting a lot of food: two different kinds of pellets, ready grass and fresh veggies. I have limited the amount of veg to 5 lettuce leaves, a few spinach leaves (yes spinach is back), a couple of carrots, a bit of celery and some kale. So they shouldn't really complain that much, should they?

Diet time - Oh no!

Oh yes - it's diet time again and they don't love it at all... but I won't cave in this time. They're eating all their veggies now and rummaging around the house for some extra food!

Happy New Year!

The guinea girls are wishing everybody a Happy New Year 2008 and may the grass be green and plentiful so that wee tummies are always full!
