Junior Guinea Pig
Some of you have read about how I found two piggies huddled in the undergrowth in the open countryside behind our house and how I took them home and set them up here. (The introduction 'Unexpectedly a piggie owner' tells the story. Well, the story continues!
I was walking the pooches on Thursday when I met a sweet, very wet dog. After his owner had apologised (unnecessarily!), she said, 'Oh! Are you the lady who found the guinea pigs?' Well, to cut a long story a bit shorter (I'll probably blog about it!
) her friend had had her pigs in the garden when her phone went. She went indoors to answer it and when she came out the piggies had gone! She and her daughters were very upset and worried for a couple of days, thinking that the buzzards had taken them, but when she heard (from the two women Johnny and I had met on our way home with the pigs, and whom I'd told about them) that we'd found them and that they were safe, she was happy! They'd forgotten where I said I lived, and the police, whom she phoned, said that a woman had called them about finding two pigs, but they didn't have any details (so my name, address, home phone number and mobile number must have gone missing off their files!)
At that point, the two women came along! You can imagine how we all squeaked in amazement! Well, the first woman said she was absolutely positive that her friend would be happy for me to have the piggies! Her daughters were about to start secondary school and were losing interest!
I gave her my phone number, so the pigs’ owner could phone me, but have heard nothing from her!
It was a very long way for the pigs to have wandered. I'm wondering if someone has nipped in and swiped them... Strange...
Anyway, I await a phone call.....
