"Who can know what effect our smallest acts of kindness may have on others? Perhaps the most important contribution of Mother Teresa, who serves the most destitute and neglected, is that she instills in those who have been abandoned the realization that they too are loved." ~ Sant Darshan Singh Ji Maharaj ~ Panda Pig's Peace Sanctuary exists so that abandoned, neglected, sick, and dying guinea pigs may experience that they, too, are cherished and loved!

JACKIE CHAN: HE'S OUR MAN!
Dear Readers,
It's no secret that Jackie Chan has been mom's favorite movie star since the 1980's...
But did you know I also emulate him? Yes, I am YumYumChan, and mom thinks my
chasing, running, jumping through the air, then trying to land on my enemy makes me
a "bad-mannered" little piglet. (She emphasizes that our brothers here at
PandaPigSanctuary are not stunt doubles, but members of our herd, deserving
our love and respect: not being chased, jumped on, and bitten...)
INDEED.
See, the thing is, mom thinks she knows a lot and that she is imparting wisdom.
WHEREAS
I have learned to
nod thoughtfully, as if contemplating my misdeeds, which THEN softens her heart,
inspiring her to scratch me in my ticklish spots, making me giggle with glee.
What she doesn't know won't hurt her: I let the words in one big, floppy ear then
right out the other, pausing in self-contemplation only once I hear the jibber-jabber
stop; and then only to receive my "tickle-treat" before going back to whatever mischief
I was engaged in before mom rudely interrupted me!
TRUTH IS, kung fu piglets like me aren't a dime a dozen: I'm special and I knows it!
And Jackie has been training me in his most famous "Drunken Guinea Pig" style
of Kung Fu, SECRETLY!
So, when mom sneaks us all into the new "Karate Kid" movie, and Jackie winks
at me like he said he would in a scene only I know about, it's his way of saying
"Yum-Yum, BE STRONG!" hee-hee, i LOVES JACKIE CHAN!
YumYumChan OUT, KUNG-FU'ING ABOUT

YUM-YUM: NOTHING BUT SWEETNESS!
Dear readers,
We always seem to write little poems (epic for us, considering our attention span)
called : "I SPY WITH MY LITTLE EYE..."
So, tonight, in honor of my ear, surrounded by a thick mane of soft, swirly fur,
I wish to write a different kind of poem.
Entitled "I HEAR WITH MY LITTLE EAR"
***********************
"I HEAR WITH MY LITTLE EAR"
BY YUM-YUM
I hear with my little ear
the sounds of the city
oh, so near
The buses, trains, and cars go by
Without even stopping to tell me why.
Oh, where they are going, guess I'll never know,
Should I skitter on board?
Am I one who would go?
Here's the answer I find through my little ear
That whatever I long for is always right here.
Yes, I spy with my little ear
That the life we seek most for
Is inside, most dear.
