Mood: sprawling on my clean fleece

She just said "Chez, you look dumb."
Miss Bramble!
I mean all he was doing was peeking from under the fleece!

Chez gets a mani-pedi this afternoon. We'll see how well he behaves for the new vet! Hopefully he'll freeze and I'll look good. Or he'll be bad like he is with me.Just wait until nail clipping time

He'll be traveling in style, a snuggle sack and pigloo.

Chez passed his yearly exam and got his nails trimmed!
He enjoyed exploring the room but was very wiggly and had to be wrapped in a towel.
Stripe is very happy to see his brother who was gone an hour. He's wheeking.
Chez is munching and over the trauma.
He pooped on the vet.

"He pooped on the vet" Yes! The movement has begun 
Glad to hear Chez is well and his tootsies are nicely trimmed.
Polos has zoomies. MS thought a beetle flew across the room and landed on the floor. Not a beetle
She has to decide whether to pick it up or glove up and pick it up but most likely will get her dust pan and brush it up and put it in the bin instead of dropping it into the cage. It's cold here again but we are still on the thin fleece. Time to get the noodle mats out again.

The boys will get a special treat of wheatgrass when I go to the store today. It's their weekly calcium treat.
I said, Miss, was Chesney bad for his nail trim.. she said he squeaked.
Honestly the vet didn't do much I don't do on the weekly health check. I'm not sure she felt his bladder. But it was only $35 as opposed to $90 at my exotic vet. But she was very nice and has guineas and a cat like I do. She seems to have heard of CBS and I'll bring in Stripe if he gets another ear infection.
Time for a protein drink.

My horror is that Djingis will discover that coroplastYour dad is a good chap. Guns are dangerous, even air gunsGlad you are home safely. It is a big, scary world and yet we have to go out in it
Cucumber, Romaine, kaleMS is not allowed to buy other veg. Spinach saves her (and she likes it in her soup) but only baby spinach (for Truffle of course) Actually he is the one who can chew through wood. I prefer to eat and snooze. But coroplast beware of Polo
Now grass, I don't think there is a guinea pig born who would say no to fresh grass
Lucky Djingis Kongo doesn't eat broccoli
He is very good at bar biting. He prefers it before veggies! His all time high is still critical care from the syringe and its a very good way to bond with the little dude, so he gets some now and then (if Kongo lets him. Kongo loooooves the syringe!). 
Napkin? Nooooo
Spa-day with Kongo!

Lucky they like the syringe. I don't know what I'll do if Chez gets sick. Wrap him like a burrito? He's so wild.My horror is that Djingis will discover that coroplast

Have you tried Chez with a syringe of water? I always assumed Master Boris would be difficult but he loves anything from a syringe!

I'm really blessed both boys accepts the 15ml syringe happily, and comes running like I offer them gold. Truly learned this syringethingy the hard way, and now I train all my boys to accept the syringe. Its so different from pig to pig. Joe needed a blankie and some comfort-basil, and a 1ml syringe without a tip. We have a big box with small syringes thanks to Joe. God bless Amazon!

Bob was often very nice to handle, until he saw a syringe. Joey poo mouth loved to lick his eyes with alot of affection, and Bob got a nasty eye infection. It was a struggle to give him meds, and it was alot of meds! We did a very tight burrito. Bob was a screamer and a kicker, so it was a very loud Belsebob-burrito and if Bob had access to this thread he would have give you long posts about his survival 
when he was better (and partly blinde, but we managed to save his eye!), I learned him to accept the syringe is a food source with alot of "milkshakes"; soaked pellets, watermelon, cucumber... It worked very well, but In happy I never had to give him any meds after that eye.
Infectious tongue and Belsebob, best friends

The vet makes it look so easy. Perhaps if I put on a uniform and a mask...
Yes, syringe training is well worth the effort in saved stress when things go wrong. A screaming basil eating Beelzebub Aw, but they were so beautiful together

Yesterday I was cleaning cages and set chez's toy on top of Stripe's cage, and he was really looking at it so today I switched their toys and they both had ignored their own toys but after switching they are both tossing and chewing! I guess I gave them the wrong ones to begin with!
Chez now has a huge willow ball he's munching and Stripe is tossing around a little stick wreath.

Haha! They are both popcorning because of their toys.
I really misjudged that one but now that I recall Chez does like Willow balls

Mom set the alarm for 5:40 because she works at 9.
She doesn't want a long shift, but she agreed to stay 3 extra hours. She's hoping it goes fast! But she'll be out at 4.
She doesn't want to miss one popcorn.
She's thinking of buying the book Parable of the Sower. African American female author, dystopian science fiction.

We've been getting cuddle time after our morning clean (the playpen is smaller, so catching is easier. Truffle is selling out 
and does a token side step and waits to be picked up. He winges nervously, but once or twice has purred, which makes MS very happy 
She pets us in our cages all the time. I never (ever) purr, but Truffle was purring away the other day and pancaking. MS was delighted 
When she is too forward and moves too quick, we biff her hand away with our noses or popcorn off out of reach. A lot depends on what mood we are in

Survivors,
we have a very sad announcement to make. We are now divorced. Separated. Kongo lunged Djingis so bad Kongo went straight into a house wall and lost his tooth. Now slave can imagine how he lost the previous tooth. Lucky the old tooth is back, and lucky its the front tooth again and not the molars. Poor Djingis told Kongo he really do accept Kongo as a leader but Kongo just didnt stop the chasing and... BAM! The divider is up. Slave is so stressed because she was just heading to work when Kongo started this rumble. I'm so mad at him to be honest, mad and worried about his tooth and if he's in pain.
Male-slave is at home taking care of the boys. After Joey his a pro-syringe feeder so slave can stress down a bit.
Kongo f*cked it up again. This dude really have a record. This chasing and the end up is a bit scary to watch. Its like my Kongo has checked out and he's a soldier with license to kill. He's not that sweet and soft boy that I know. He did the very same number with Chip and Joe. Poor Djingis
Love from the boys with a divider in the middle, Kongo and Djingis
