Dear Readers,

We love our Runabouts. We run, we popcorn, we scamper, we slide (on the kitchen floor if we run off the towels and pretend to be skating) and we play with all the boxes, toys, and hidden snacks mom puts out on the floor for us. When working as a volunteer at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle she learned all about "enrichment" and we enjoy enrichment specific to guinea pigging!

Yoga we do not do.

Mom does yoga.

We watch mom do yoga.

We watch mom do yoga, relieved it is not something guinea pigs do.

This news story has done nothing to change our minds, and

if you have guinea pigs, we hope it does nothing to change yours.

If you have dogs, enjoy yoga, and are a crazy-person, we hope you

enjoy doga.

WE ARE NOT, NOR WILL WE EVER BE, POGIS!

PANDA PIG OUT!
(NOTE FROM EDITOR: The opinions shared by PandaPig do not reflect those
of every guinea pig
living here at PandaPigSanctuary.
YumYum has been squealing "NAMASTE!" at the top of his lungs
all day - so enjoyable, while Bear the Beaver Pig has been practicing
 forward stretches to reach hay
stuck in high places.)

THE PERFECT DISCIPLE

While visiting Chin-Sun-Kitty and her mom today, we discovered Chin-Sun has a disciple so humble we have never met him. Or her.

"Mom, can you find out?"

"No problem, PandaPig."

Meet The Perfect Disciple: humble. quiet. unobtrusive. never seeking
attention. serves with loving devotion. open, affectionate, kind face.
dressed simply. not materialistic, content with pretty green ears and
hand-painted brown flowers, orange eyes always seeking to serve with
a gentle smile. horns like a giraffe, and tail hanging gently down
towards earth; yes, earthy and modest. Childlike and innocent.

With enough faith
to stand
perilously close to the edge of  am's kitchen countertop
without an
ounce of fear. Wears a beautific expression of grace:
this perfect disciple!

PANDA PIG OUT!

VENERABLE CHIN-SUN KITTY

The magic of our venerable master
is that she
still finds sun
for
her chin
even when the sun isn't out

BEAR PREDICTS NO SUN ON SUNDAY

Yum-Yum woke up this morning, peeked out of his colorful, snuggly sleeping bag, asked Bear for the weather report,
discovered the sun might or might not make a surprise cameo appearance but a windstorm was definetely in the forecast,
and decided, "Why Bother?"

Indeed!

You stay tucked in, little fella, 'cause you're right where you belong until mom wakes up for breakfast.

And YumYum stayed right where he belonged until mom woke up for breakfast. (Our breakfast, of course!)

And, after her migraine, mom got a special surprise: time to visit her spiritual/art friend and neighbor, am,
and the Venerable Chin-Sun-Kitty! Who actually did find Sun!
HAPPY THEM. HAPPY US.

NOW WE WAIT FOR WIND.

PANDA PIG OUT!

IN LIVING COLOR

PACIFIC NORTHWEST PALETTE

Mom calls this "Detritus: Forest Floor with Sun" She didn't take it for the sake of art, just to demonstrate how quickly the light changes up here in the Great Pacific Northwest.











Mom calls this "Reflections on Water: No Sun"




















Same day. Same planet. My how a day can change the appearance of Reality through a camera's faithful lens!
Thanks, mom, for showing us what your Walkabouts look like. Because if it gets dark in here, you just turn on
the lights. Different outdoors, huh? We like being indoor guinea pigs but know mom likes being an outdoor girl.
Even if we move into town, we promise to pack your gear and camera, kick you out the door, and make sure the
Magic Lives On!

PANDA PIG OUT!

NORTH SHORE OF LAKE WHATCOM

THIS AND OTHER SIMILAR PHOTOS ARE ACTUALLY IN COLOR: PACIFIC NORTHWEST COLOR, THAT IS.
When mom headed out, she had the Sun predicted by Bear the Weather Pig. But when she headed back, the
weather changed and her color photos took on the color palette unique to the Pacific Northwest. Today Bear did
not predict sun. Accurate prediction, Bear. But, for those brief, shining hours yesterday, that bright thing did
dance in the sky and turn things green and people smiled again. It was glorious!

PANDA PIG OUT!

EXOTIC THAI RIDGEBACK DOG: WOW!

Dear Readers,

Yesterday, mom went Walkabout on the north shore trail along
Lake Whatcom and look who she ran into!

We have never even heard of Thai Ridgeback dogs before, and
this girl is still young and learning about America, and Bellinghamsters,
who do not keep their big, gigantic dogs on leashes while walking on trails specifically asking them to do so. For everybody's safety.

She was lovely but so many unleashed dogs rushed up and, excited by her exotic aroma, went beserk, that she really did not feel safe. And her mom had a hard time protecting her. 

Please leash your dogs, dear dog owners. For everyone's sake! Thanks!

PANDA OUT!
