MMMmmmm...Cuddling, on a Sunday Afternoon...

There's gotta be a MOTOWN song about this...me and my elephant,
Cuddling...oooooh, on a sunday afternoon.....ooooooh,
"Shaft! John Shaft!"
Yeah...that the one.
Taj Mahal is IN THE BUILDING!

I AM COMMUNING, NOT ABOUT TO SNITCH ON MOM...

Dear Readers,

Few of you really know me, Taj Mahal, because - although many find me the most beautiful in the herd with my abyssinian whorls and swirls all growing in perfect symmetry across my buttery, luscious, chocolate brown coat - Well, I may have told YumYum what mom just did but I am not hiding! Gizmomma sent us the coolest effalent in the whole world to play with and I have found that he is also perfect for cuddling beneath, particularly when one as beautiful as me feels compelled to HIDE, no, I mean, take a nap keeping one eye open just in case...ya know: Just. In. Case.
GizMomma, it's not how it sounds.

GIZ KNOWS! LOL!

Sincerely,
Taj Mahal

"YUM-YUM, C'MHERE, GUESS WHAT MOM JUST DID TO OUR BLOG?!
AIN'T GONNA BELIEVE THIS..."

OOPSIE, BIG, FAT OOPSIE!

MOM ACCIDENTALLY DELETED
THE "BLOGS WE FOLLOW" LIST
BY BEING HERE INSTEAD OF
TAKING HER NAP.

IT WILL RETURN.

WE GUINEA PIGS WILL PUT
OUR LIST BACK TOGETHER
AGAIN ONCE WE KNOW
MOM IS ASLEEP, FOR SURE.

YOU BLOGGERZ WHO WE
LOVE READING SHALL BE
REINSTATED! IT'S ALL MOM'S
DOING, AS USUAL...PLEASE
FORGIVE HER, SHE KNOWS
NOT WHAT SHE DOES.
(PRETTY MUCH EVAH!)

SINCERELY YOURS,
YUM-YUM and Taj, aka: "The Snitch!"

"Mom! How COULD YOU?"
ooops...sssshhh! is the mike still on?
the mike, is it still on? no one heard
that, right? Calvin, was the mike off?
Calvin, wake UP!

Where Love Is A Secret No More!

Photo taken today, June 26, 2011, a day of unexpected sunshine:

Dedicated to Marilyn173, a poem from the founder of my meditation center

up in beautiful Birch Bay, Washington:

"I started alone on the journey of love,

               filled with faith and zeal,

At every step travelers joined me,

               and soon we were a caravan."

                              ~Sant Darshan Singh

one of India's most beloved mystic poets,

from his book A Tear And A Star.

These words reflect our secret-no-more

definition of how humbling it feels to be

 a true, classic MOD: Friends FOR LIFE! 

And, in Hebrew: "L'Chaim, To Life!"

Marilyn, we shall join you Wedsnesday,

and - together - become the wind beneath your wings,

gently holding you aloft above the fluffiest clouds

in the gentlest azure sky, even as you sleep...

and pray that no MOD ever feel alone again!

and pray that no one ever feel alone again, including

all the animals in the world and all the stars in

the universe. And each other...

~humbly (for once!)

Meditating with George...

We guinea pigs know it's cage cleaning time when George comes on. Tonight mom played "Dark Horse" and we knew she meant business! Raj and Taj's cages were cleaned in no time. Until she started dancing and drumming in the air in her overalls...my cage was next and I was so excited! But she fell asleep.

I gonna get her tomorrow! Gonna pick out the soundtrack from "Shrek" because she never falls asleep
listening to that and I want A CLEAN CAGE! Even we guinea pigs miss George. We all hoped for a Beatles reunion LIVE on UStream but gave up sadly once mom quoted George as having said:
"As far as I'm concerned, there won't be a Beatles reunion as long as John Lennon remains dead."

On a happier note: HERE COMES THE SUN! There WILL be summer and clean cages with fresh timothy hay for all! Squeeee!

love,
YumYum
