Guinea Pigs get bogies, who know

[fortifiedwithtea]

Ok I'm lowering the tone But be honest haven't you secretly wondered or is it me

I've been away for awhile but lurking on DH work laptop not allowed to sign in and post. My laptop has been away for repair again.

Monday I had Coco for cuddle time and she did a huge sneeze, expelling a ball of white snot out her left nostril! DD2 fell about laughing and there was a lot of "eurgh Coco, that's gross."

DD2 wanted to photograph it as the Sporners would say, if there's no pic it didn't happen but I wiped it on the guinea pig blanket instead "eugh Mum that's gross"

Coco looked rather.....enigmatic

Just thought I'd share

Ermmmmm thanks for sharing that fortified

Our dearly departed GP1 (magnificent golden agouti smooth boy) used to get a little clear snot nasal drip on grass or if I gave him cut grass. He had a check up and we were told it's a hayfever~ey thing. Bit rough for a little grass eating rodent, but he didn't let it get in the way of his love of eating.

Once he was sitting on DD shoulder, she was larding on the sofa and he sneezed ....into her mouth as she was just about to talk.

"Eurgh , Chester, eurgh" she spluttered.
Hey, friends share germs

Thanks fortified . Never again will I quickly check the forum just before I eat.

While on the subject of weirdy things that guineas do/produce........

I was putting GP3 and GP4 back in the Pighouse from the run (DD was trying to catch GP5 still)
We always put their travel box in the Pighouse on the floor and close the door, I always thought GP5 would be the one to jump out but no...

GP3 , rose out of the box like Pegasus (ok, a rather portly, fuzzy brown Pegasus ) and cleared the side of the box (it;s in excess over 14" high) to land neatly in the hay .

So, never underestimate them . Even after all these years, I'm still gobsmacked by the things they do.

fortified when you wiped guinea bogey on the guinea-pig blanket, was it OBs special blue checked blanket?
He'll haunt you y'know

Gosh 70 you've got a good memory! No the girls have a big blue one with stars from Tesco.

OB's special blanket has had something far worse happen to it. As a special treat I let the girls have it in their bedroom I am still talking about the SFA kind not the DDs, anyway they covered it in poo. Its now in a plastic bag in front of the washing machine waiting for me to pluck up courage to touch it again.

I might wash it with DH pants if he annoys me

Very impressed with GP3's super leap, pole vaulting without the pole
