Melting underneath the tv tonight.

Floppiest pig. She’s been popping and squeaking her way around floor time this evening!

We only had you 16 months, but you became a little girls everything. Thank you for being her best friend when she had very few. You can never know how much you were loved.

I still don't know what went wrong. I don't how you could go from totally fine to gone in under 24 hours. I hope you know I tried. The doctor tried. I don't think you wanted to go. Not yet. But I am also glad your pain has ended. I hope you're warm again. When I felt how cold you were, I think I knew, but I tried all the same.

I hope guinea pig heaven is filled with the sweetest of red peppers, all the blankets you can burrow in, and *Rubble and Crew*, your favorite show, is always on the TV.

I figured out a trick to getting Simon to eat his Critical Care without fighting me! By putting peaflakes in a coffee grinder and mixing them with CC suddenly it goes from nasty to a treat everyone wants!

Also Bear is a boy and will lose his balls on monday

I got my first little batch of piggies in January and they were only 4 months old, so still young boys. But Mike just loves snuggling up into my neck whenever I pick him up and sleeping like this 🥲

I’ve always heard most pigs need a lot of time to feel safe and a lot of them will just never truly like being handled, but he makes me feel so special and I’m glad he feels safe with me. Sorry for the clickbait title haha.

+ pig tax of course

Nugget after his foot bath. He did pretty well with very little fussing this time. Special appearance by Bismarck. Wondering where his friend went. 🥹

Her name is Mamba :3

Off to the carpeted area then! 😂

When I bought a handheld vacuum I was worried that Dumpling (white ear) and Twinkle would be scared of the noise.

Not so! They instantly associated it with Veggie Rain (I scatter feed some of their veg after the daily clean) and greet it with great enthusiasm and wheeking. Sometimes just showing them the vacuum is enough to get them popcorning.

The girls are 6 months old, sisters, and very attached to each other. Despite having a wide choice of hides, they almost always choose to share the same one.

(Don't worry - those stains on the fleece are just remnants of yesterday's juicy red pepper!)

Carmen and Josette wish you a very pwiiiiick day 👑💜✨
