h.e.l.p.

Mom gets so tired the only way she can clean this joint is to caffeinate into a BollywoodDanceParty, yes, she actually DID order and receive the "How to Dance Bollywood" video - only, today she didn't even put it on! Just started making up her own moves once
the java kicked in and if we EVAH see that again we iZ all gonna turn into pillars of salt! STOP THE MADNESS. Leave the dishes in the sink another day...it's already been two months, maybe they're growing a cure for cancer by now, just - please - stop
dancing...or at least follow the video, or - hey, we have a great idea - just CLEAN THE FREAKING HOUSE ALREADY!

thank you.

3 Live Cavy Web Cams and Blog, Guinea Pig Website - Happy Cavy

Mom doesn't have us on webcams because, frankly, she don't even

know what it means...DUR...what's new? But we have found this

way cool site with THREE CAVY CAMS! And lots of great information

about keeping your cavy healthy, happy, and the boss o'ya!

So, this ain't US (and the way things iz goin' heah, ain't nevah gonna be!)

but they is our own eCavyFriendZ!

WHAT IS SUN?

^O.K. you gotta press on the pic to enlarge it: so sue us!^

It Hath Been Decreed that the Sun Will Shine Upon the pale, pale Bellinghamsters once Molly and McGee's Owlets Fledge.
This may be a very short summer, should it come at all.
We is the Pale People, we walk the streets like pale zombies, occasionally staring up into what we have been told is a thing,
they call it...oh, what is that name they give it? Oh, the SKY! The sky. See the sky? We stare at it. We wonder why. Why.

Oh, and for those of you who have no pity on us because we haven't been beset by tornadoes, think AGAIN!
Not here in our city, but we are actually getting reports of twisters in other parts of Washington: So there.

We won't even bring up the 9.0 earthquake we just attended a preparedness class for. We dunno why. Bellingham is
built on top of mines...MINES! So...we are the pale people waiting for the sun, prepared for the earthquake that will
give Idaho beachfront property, and all we want is a nice tan, the look of a people prepared for adventure by land, sea,
mountain, river, or ocean...

we look like pathetic zombies. with hula-hoops every Saturday at the Farmer's Market. it is the most fun to be had.
Pale stoics waiting for The Big One as the clouds take our fair little city seige day after day...month after month...
until we all hang up our Seattle Sombrero Hats, put on shorts, eat ice cream in hailstorms on Railroad Street, and
Sing: "We are the Champions, my Friend! And we'll Keep on fighting till the end...We are the champions, we are the
champions..." with ice cream. And hula hoops. On Champion Street. Pale Zombies singing. Looking Up, faint memories
of something bright, we know not what. There's even a terrific new gelato place!

YouTube - I am an Animal Rescuer

We invite CD3, Mother of Bob, to become a contributor
here at PandaPigSanctuary because she understands...
and her heart will break and then she will let it break again
and again and again, as we all will. Invisibly, most of us,
but an army of LOVE which, in the end, justifies the
highest service any human being can offer...our lives,
our money, most of all: our willingness to have our hearts
reach out knowing that they will be broken again.
And then again. With each lost soul we invite into our
lives, we become Whole. Who rescues whom, really?

10 Things to Say and 10 Not to Say to Someone With Depression - depression - Health.com

10 Things to Say and 10 Not to Say to Someone With Depression - depression - Health.com

We just COULDN'T HELP OURSELVES! You have GOT to read the things NOT TO SAY

to people with depression because:

1. We have heard them all!

2. Chances are, you have, too!

3. They are tragically hilarious!

4. Goes to prove some our closest

friends really DON'T HAVE A CLUE!

5. It's just too STUPIS not to share because

we have so many loved ones suffering with

depression who continue to be shocked upon

hearing their OWN DOCTORS 

actually saying these things the most!

6. You are not alone....(see #7)

7. Unless: those people saying this are your family,

friends, doctors, health care professionals,

or companion animals. If so, you are alone.

8. So get a guinea pig, all they say is: WHEEK!

SO YOU'RE DEPRESSED? THEY THROW

US IN FRYING PANS IN THE ANDES AND

EAT US FOR DINNER, TRY BEING A CAVY!

9. Guinea pigs are very understanding.

GAG.

10. GAG.

MOM ACTUALLY WON THIS! SHE WAS AWESOME!

YouTube - The North Face Endurance Challenge - Bellingham, WA

not really. but those muddy, muddy woods is where we lived for ten
years before moving into town and MollyWood! We remember
everybody asking mom after a mountain bike-ride through there
why she got mud splattered all over her back and she'd go: "Huh?
Can't see my back. Really?" then she'd go to town covered in mud.
Mud she could not see. Everyone else could. That's the beauty of
Bellingham: mud, sea, snow: if it's "on you" you is a LOCAL!

O.K. NOT THAT BAD IN MAY,

but the music from one of our favorite

artists in the whole world, George Winston,

so we including it in our Homage to Home...in May.

Mt. Baker, our resident Volcano just 55 miles East o'here
does hold the record for "Most Snowfall in the World."
That true. Don't seem like they gonna be plowing THAT
road to "Artist Point" anytime soon this year, either.

We loves it here. We just don't always remember WHY!
