Adult Guinea Pig
My mum’s (88 yo) friend came with her to see my garden and have a cuppa. We sat in my kitchen and I apologised for the ‘farm yard’. She thought it was something for the dog! Anyhoo when I said, “No, somewhere in the depths of those tents there are …. Guineapigs!” Her eyes lit up! She had been a missionary for many years in Peru!
“Oh can I see them?”
I proudly and with great delight produce the …… pea flakes!
In my clearest, and highest pitch I call, “Pea flakes? Want a pea flake? Who wants a pea flake?!”
A nose appears. Another appears. A whole head. And then, I’m still so proud, they come, legging it towards us and rear up with feet on the bars!
Well mums friend nearly cried and got out her camera! I had to feed them about 6 flakes each while she tried to get a close up!
Highlight of my day!
. ( maybe this should be in the ‘What made you happy today?’ Thread… 
sorry!)
