REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOD!

TODAY VinnyGuinea and Bhindi pretty much
had the Run o'the RunAbout all day since I didn't
have the strength to leave the apartment; so they
indulged in massive, eager doses of popcorning, chase, 
treats, resting together in sleeping bags, cuddle cups,
square ferret houses with round holes & hidden 
treats with infinite jump-through opportunities
 pOpCoRnING-FULL-THROTTLE through
their HappyDayTogether!

AND IT WAS GOOD.

THEN I got too tired and needed to give them antibiotics
so placed them back into their cages to medicate them before
Molly Movie Night or I fell asleep, whichever came first.
AND IT WAS NOT GOOD.
BHINDI HAD A FIT! 
A
FIT.

HE'S quite the acrobat, much as Taj Mahal was, and finally
jumped right INTO HIS HAY TROUGH in an effort to see
what was on the other side: could it be Vinny? Could it?

IF he just s.t.r.e.t.c.h.e.d. far enough...was there any chance
he could find his best friend and maybe somehow find a way
to escape captivity of The Cage and regain the Wonder of their
SUPER SPECIAL DAY?
IF ONLY HE COULD STRETCH JUST A WEE BIT MORE?
ON TOP OF HIS PRECARIOUS PERCH
ATOP HIS PRECARIOUS HAY TROUGH, THE
FEEDING HOLES OF WHICH ARE LOCATED
ON THE BOTTOM?

WHILE YumYum eats his hay, Vinny looks Startled, as if
having an "out of body" experience...half of it is feeling the
meeries from Bavaria, the realization that the time to post their photographs has come and then it will be too late to take back
the affection that has grown between him and his dear friends
Fairy and Marigold and his new Bavarian meeries and once he
has posted his love for them...what next?


The OTHER "out of body" experience is urgent! Where is his
former cage and playmate Bhindi? He loves and adores YumYum
and wants to live with him but a time was, not so long ago, when
they all lived as one, before Raj died and mom and YumYum finally took leave of their senses, it was the last straw for both of them...

"What to do? What to do? What to do?"

"BHINDI!"
"VINNY!"
"PLEASE DON'T EVER LEAVE ME AGAIN!"
"PLEASE DON'T EVER LEAVE ME AGAIN!"
"I PROMISE!"
"I PROMISE, TOO!"


AND IT WAS GOOD.

  1. MEERI - POEM

    We're fed like royalty.
    Tomatoes and lettuce,
    Carrots and parsley.
    We're pigs, guinea pigs.

    Our cage is our castle.
    The water bottle, our fountain.
    Cardboard boxes for hideouts,
    We chew out windows and doors.
    Weep! Weep! Weeeeeeep!

    Give us alfalfa!
    Zuchini and fruit!
    Pick us up, if you can...
    We scoot!
    We dash about, frantic and free
    Like our wild cousin, the cavy.

    We kick woodchips on the floor!
    And get scolded even more.
    Hee! Hee! Wee! Wee!
    But take us outside
    Where the breeze ruffles our fur
    And we're bold as we forage
    Like our wild cousins, the cavies.

    Clover and vines,
    Grass and some weeds.
    Some of us are hard to please...
    We're pigs, guinea pigs.

    Thinking much of ourselves.
    Kings and queens
    of the rodents.

    1. Ingrid, your meeri-audience is growing far and wide.
      hope you won't mind us snitching some of your writing
      (with attribution to you, OF COURSE!) when we do our
      Bavarian Meeri chapter of "Meet Our Wunnerful Friends?"
      OUR friends emailing us how lucky we are, as they read
      your poems!
