A guinea pig is a tube with a brain. Stuff goes into this tube at one end and comes out of the other. The purpose of the brain is to cause the tube to find more stuff to eat. Just underneath the brain, near the feet, is a squeaking muscle shaped like a kidney bean. If the brain thinks, even just for a second, that there is the remotest possibility of food, anywhere, within a fifty mile radius, then it sends a signal to the squeaking muscle, which then squeaks. Squeaks can also be elicited by tissues, your homework, feathers, and the rustling of plastic bags, all of which are incredibly delicious to the guinea pig.

That raised a smiled from me this morning! rolleyes

The other things guineas squeak at are: the wind; the dog or other guinea passing by them; no reason whatsoever; me whistling; me trying to catch them & put them back in the cage (which of course they run around thus creating their own entertainment!) :)):)); any noise of TV which sounds vaguely hopeful; the hay bag being opened; the fridge being opened; and when I forget to feed them (oops!)

I'm sure they think we are going to a) forget they exist & b) forget to feed them (which I have done when very preoccupied with work - sorry boys!) :{mallethead

Who cares?! I love their squeaking, growling, talking & chattering! And I wouldn't be without them!! x)

Any more pics of Beans Frank? He is a very handsome chap!
 
I really want to take him to the golf course and take a picture on a putting green have to move fast as the greens keepers may not think a piggy lunching on their manicured lawn is as funny as i do. But its very early spring here and everything is brown
 
Don't forget to mention that said brain is also connected to a couple of soulful eyes that are very effective in trying to convince you that the food they've just had a bare ten minutes ago is FIRMLY in the past, and the poor neglected orphan to which they belong is in IMMINENT danger of acute starvation!
