Lone-Star 57
Teenage Guinea Pig
Hi all.
Today marks the 2nd week that the newest member of my family was welcomed home. Leo.
I cannot begin to express how much I have grown to love him since I first brought him home, even my family are absolutely in love with him!
He has sincerely helped me I guess in a way I have helped him to, I gave him the home he didn't have. At first I was very tentative with handling him since he had been neutered and I was both frightened of hurting him and I shuddered every time my hand would touch his scabs, but now we are both very comfortable with each other. After only 2 weeks he is so tame and bold he wheaks along with Zee at any meal time and wheaks back at me if I wheak at him. Every morning he'll come up to the door for a chin scratch standing on his rear feet and stretching his head up. I am totally smitten with this blonde boy.
I am not the only one I have noticed a difference in Zee to, she seems so much more content, happy and active. Which of course makes me one happy pig-mother.
And of course he came with new experiences as he is both the first Boar and long haired piggie I have owned. I thought after owning Guinea pigs for about 9-10 years it was about time a Boar became a member of my family.
Now for some pictures.
(He recently had a hair cut in his rear regions so I am sorry if he seems a little scruffy)
I love his two toned lips so much.
I also love how he can go from absolutely gorgeous to completely silly in no time, he totally vege'd out on my dad's stomach (I laugh every time I see this, he looks like a snail)
And a little piggie smile from Zee.
Thank you all for the support.
Jodie.
Leo and Zee.
