Where are all the guinea folk??

[guineapiglet]

Come on out, where are you all??

Have been round to guinea 'nephews' today, they are out in their run during the time of day when it wasn't hailstoning, and having a wonderful time running round squeaking .. I even had a cuddle with lovely blond boy Boris, took them some dandelions and lush long grass. Big boys now squeak when they hear my voice, Boris goes into hiding, as obviously prefers his pellets and can't be tempted out by grass... yet.... but I am working on it! The two fighting brothers are now BFFs again, outside in very large run, and Boris and less arsey brother also get on, but not all three of them..... boys eh? Three girls together fine, boys, not so good....

Not fish killing

Actually in hospital with a sick DD who is now home recuperating nicely with chocolate and ice cream whilst I catch up on washing and cleaning

ahh wish her well.
Glad she's on the mend. You have to make nice with the Super Furries and
spend alot of time with the white appliances now.

I have been reminded about the fridge many times since my return and it's been made clear that the salad drawer needs replenishing

blimey what on earth is going on....fernie hope your daughter is on the end. poor you, don't overdo it as being in hospital as a caring mum is very draining....oh and get the fridge restocked ASAP..by order!

70 what happened to your fish, poor you what a rotten thing to have to do...never heard of the freezer treatment. no wonder your guineas are quaking.....!

fortified hope you are on the mend too and your guinea girls are looking after you...

here in Ark land......have hust taken carrot tops, lovely lush long green tops round to guinea nephews.. I had been earlier in the day withno food and the disgusted wheeks and disappointed faces made me feel terrible??? it's that bottom lip which gets me every time....

sending positive and happy vibes to all creatures, furry or otherwise!!

on the mend....darn iPad...

Thanks guineapiglet it's been a funny old week. Monday I woke up in resus on a drip epilepsy playing up. Wednesday 70 is offering to finish me off

Fernie sending your DD for a speedy recovery

70 RIP Philip the Fish

Oh no fortified poor you what a horrible thing to happen. hope you are feeling better now???no clove oil and freezer treatment for you
..

I love reading about all your girls! makes me nostalgic for our girls who managed to cheer me up whatever mood I was in..... and they are all their own characters aren't they?

had a lovely cuddle with arsenal boy pig yesterday, he is a rosette and his very shy brother is smooth, Boris is now in another room, putting on weight and very content. he is the most amazing yellow colour!... and lovely little pink bottom lip... xx

arsenal boy pig!!!!!!!!!!!!!

never......

I really can't cope with predictive text....
I meant arsenal

arsey ffs

Fortified - do hope you are feeling better now. I am now slightly scared of 70 - if I sneeze will she send clove oil?

Thanks for all your good wishes for DD - she had a slightly burst appendix and we both stayed in hospital for what felt like years but was only 4 nights. Long enough for the salad drawer to be emptied by the 3 boys. It has now been thoroughly cleaned out and replenished and a large parsley pot has also been purchased. No-one does guilt trips quite as well as a pig . Current Bun was not happy at my return. He had convinced DH that he had 2 biscuits for breakfast/supper and was miffed this morning that it was '1 biscuit mum' back in charge.

Guineapiglet - glad your nephews are doing well. Boris sounds like a master of the guinea guilt lip! You'll have to throw some fertiliser on the dandelions to make sure they grow big enough.

In my defence (I'm sure there is one somewhere) when GP2 died last year we sat with GP1 and GP2 in the front room, letting them sprawl out, giving parsely, allowing a rather protective GP1 to 'care' for his brother. Then at the last twitchey moment I cuddled him, so he was in my arms.

But I can't cuddle the fish (and I couldn't leave him gasping) so there was only the Clove Oil and Freezer option (apparently clove knocks them unconscious- some people go straight to freezer which is a bit harsh).
Philip was someone elses fish (another Fishnet poster, ours was Jamie)

On the Guinea-Pig Mum Health Front, I had a scan yesterday (ongoing abdominal pain) so while I'm waiting for the results, I'll stay away from the cloves

Hope you feel better soon 70. I was intrigued by the use of clove oil and freezer as I hadn't heard that before. It certainly was the kind thing to do. You can't really take a fish to the vets to be PTS. Poor Phillip.

Previous Bun had her last 'twitchy moments' in my arms. It was a comforting time for both of us. Very hard to do that with a fish
