"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!

"TWAS LIKE A DREAM SO LONG AGO...
A winter month in the Pacific Northwest can seem like an eternity when every day
is garbed in varying shades of gray...light gray, dark gray, drizzle gray, full-on
rain gray, ice pellet gray, before snow falls gray, wake-up gray, go to bed gray,
foggy gray, gray for no particular reason, gray for every conceivable reason, gray
to get people to buy light boxes, gray to make people simply want to hibernate...
There is only ONE TRUE antidote and this is it! Go High! Find y'self in the Mountains
coated with white powder, fresh mountain air, the sound of stellar jays, ravens, the
elusive white ptarmigan...
The Mountain! WE Shall return...if we ever get well, climb out of bed, and remember
what day it is...SNOW DAY, MOUNTAIN DAY, LATTE DAY! HERE'S TO "THE RETURN & MAY IT
BE SOON!"

HEY RAJ, JUST OUTTA CURIOSITY...WHATCHA GOT HIDIN' BACK THERE?
Raj is a handsome fella and don't he know it!
But Taj suspects he is hiding a secret in those
beautiful, long tresses, and I - MacNutPie -
shall find out what - or WHO - he got hiding in there.
She will be mine, all mine!
{EDITOR: "NO, SHE WILL NOT!"}
Oh, O.K. then, I'll try to find Coconut and...
{EDITOR: "NO! NO! ABSOLUTELY YOU WILL NOT!"}
Oh, FINE! Whatsa guy gotta do to get some
hay around here?! Goodness gracious, it's not
like I was sniffin' somebody's butt or something gross like that.
{EDITOR: "UH, YES, YOU WERE!"}
FINE!
Awwww, Would Someone Hand Me a Tissue, Please?
Tonight the gang and I watched Mel and Sydney's owl box and they
were all kissyFace and beaking and grooming each other and it made
me wonder whether I will ever find my own true love, as they have?
Usually, all I care about is food, running about, chasing Raj out
of my Pigloo, tumping over the food bowl, drinking the water bottle
dry, and whistling a shrill, loud soprano squeal in my unmistakable
voice...but watching those two love-birds tonight made me start to
question my life: am I missing out on something?
{EDITOR: "NO!"}
Aww, O.K. SO, CAN A PIGGIE GET SOME HAY FOR BEDTIME ALREADY?

BREAKING NEWS: MAC NUT PIE DENIES ALL CHARGES!
As we wait patiently to find out whether or not our precious little Coconut is preggers with MacNutPie's mini-pies,
MacNut denies all charges of infiltrating off-limits areas!
"I SAW HIM DO IT!" said Raj Mahal in a recent interview.
"Me, too, I saw him, too!" added Erica, Coconut's best friend.
"I'M HUNGRY, CAN WE JUST HAVE HAY?" demanded Taj Mahal.
Stay tuned, because we don't know what a preggersPig looks like,
but have been informed they become "pear-shaped" and so far,
well: if it looks like a pear, and it walks like a pear...
sigh...that's just what we need around here: BABIES!
Charges have not been filed until alleged "break in" has been
found true or false.
"But MacNut better keep it in his pants!" warned one onlooker.
Will someone please make him some pants? Thank you.
Tiny Baby Egyptian Tortoise Up Close
When mom volunteered at Woodland Park Zoo, these guys were among her
fave-O-faves and now there are two more in our world! Severely
endangered, no longer wild in Egypt, they are truly fun to watch
and they never fledge and fly away, like the owls, they only get
bigger and more fun to watch...we loves them Egyptian Tortoises!
Guinea Pigs dig this sort of thing!

PHOEBE, THE FABULOUS HUMMINGBIRD
This stunning portrait of Phoebe sitting on her eggs can be found on her
very own UStream site! And now her eggs are hatching, so check it out!
Stunning little Phoebe: WOW!
BREAKFAST, ANYONE?
We are downhearted that our beloved Seahawks lost
last weekend and are now out of the Play-Offs...
However, there's always COFFEE! WHEEEEk!
Sydney Has Her Third Egg...
We dare you not to shed a tear...
Thank you for this beautiful video, courtesy of "The Daily Hork"
PSsssssT! DID YOU HEAR THE NEWS? SYD JUST LAID ANOTHER EGG!
Dear Sweet Readers,
We are enjoying the "Mel & Sydney Barn Owl Comedy Hour" as much as the rest of you but I had to tell
everybody in the herd the news: Sydney is actually SITTING ON HER EGGS NOW! And, and - gosh - if you
ask me, I think she's starting to get the hang o'this, like, and what those things are, like they
are NOT soccer balls! And Mel is leaving the Owlbox during the day so Sydney isn't gettin' her bones
jumped every 2 1/2 minutes...Mel is hunting Rodential-Viagras and our poor Syd has been the recipient
of "all the love" and then way too much more!
Well, PppppsssssssT! Here's the REAL question: could it be possible she'll lay more eggs and that some
will even hatch???
And Molly is cleaning out the gag-shag in HER box, too, getting it all spruced up for what? We will not
see since Carlos is not reconnecting the cameras, but it's looking like Southen California is turning
into Barn Owl Country, U.S.A. and the Social Streams on UStream, they are a-buzzin' with anticipation!
And, to set the record straight, yes I DID canoodle little Coconut after I got neutered! And now she is
my sweetheart and we kiss between the bars of our cages and I love her...MacNutPie + Coconut = CoconutCream-MacNutPie. MMMmmmm, GOOD! Oh, Yeah, baby!
And, hopefully, NO BABIES! Thing is, mom only just found out that live sperm can linger up to 3 weeks after a
neuter and our beautiful first time together took place, oh, well, a wee bit sooner than that. But Coconut is
too old and as long as there remain guinea pigs who still need to be rescued we will never, ever breed!
This Here Is MacNutPie Piggie reporting all the news that's fit to print and all the news that isn't!
MacNutPie has left the building and is going to sleep now! You do the same...love ya's each & every one.

Edwin Makes Our New Year Bright and Right!
We have been having a great time with Edwin over the New Year. He sleeps next to our cages and so we
wheek all night and make so much noise acting hungry he wakes up and keeps feeding us because mom
forgot to tell him not to! Then, today, he said, "What are they doing? Playing soccer all night or
what?" and mom said, "What?" and he told her "What" and now our fun is spoiled! Mom...so we banished
them both to the woods but it looks like they had so much fun that we think they forgot our sleepy-
time rules of "no feeding" and we planning a BIG NOISE all night so Edwin feeds us in his sleep and
forgets to tell mom.
January 2, 2011: Snowshoeing in the North Cascades
What a difference a mountain makes!
Edwin came up, took mom out,
and they are both so happy we got
lots of treats when they got home!
SQUeeeeeeEEEE!

Science of the Winter Olympics - Short Track Speed Skating
We piggies are studying the Physics of Short-Track Speedskating on
New Year's Day and then we will be eating hay. Does it get any better?
Probably...
But Edwin here and brought Apolo's book for mom and not only autographed but 'Polo
hung out with Edwin, autographed HIS speedskates, and had a message for mom.
He told her to be strong, get back on the ice, and even do just one lap!
She not gonna. At least not until we teach her about the 3 laws of Newtonian Physics!
Happy New Year from Institute of SmartPigPhysics=WhEEkFeedUsNow!
WHO LOVES YA, BABY? smart pigs, vEry smaRt pigZ!
