MAY I TELL YOU MY STORY?

THANK YOU in advance for
what you are about to read.
It is a story we can
all relate to.
One of loneliness and how
we think that getting "things" will fix that
and when it doesn't, how we think that
getting "others" will fix that and when
it doesn't how we eventually go full
circle and, returning Within, to our
Fortress of Solitude, realize that
only WITHIN can we find what
we are seeking to salve the pain
of the loneliness we each feel inside.
My "Fortress of Solitude" looks like
a bright red castle! But actually,
in reality, it is the place inside where
I meditate that is quiet and contains
more colors than a rainbow, more
melodies than a symphony, more
light than exploding stars,
yet all wrapped in SILENCE
AND LOVE INFINITE.
It goes a little something
like this...(not really,
but it's all I got. You know,
Mom's headache, blah, blah...)

BHINDI'S NEW MAN-CAVE


MY name is Bhindi. I don't like being alone. Mom's friend bought
me a BIG CAGE all my own & full of goodies with more to come PLUS RUNABOUTS AND MY CAGE DOOR OPENS LIKE A RAMP SO I CAN RUN IN AND OUT (MOSTLY OUT, O.K. ALWAYS GONNA BE OUT!) AND HAVE FUN, FUN, FUN: Thank you, CS!
Since mom was home all day, we put it together last night!

How cool is THIS? Even YumYum doesn't have a ramp!
Or a castle with two doors to run through right OFF the ramp!
I even got the best water bottles! Mom's friend don't even gotta
pig, but somehow she thoughta EVERYTHING MOST PERFECTUS and I got the very BEST CAGE OF ALL!!!!


WOW, this ramp is really the bee's knees! WHOO-HOO!

MOST IMPORTANT: CAGE-ADJACENT to VinnyGuinea and YumYum? CHECK! Two-door Castle? CHECK! My favorite hay trough? CHECK! Favorite cuddle cup big enough to accompany my growing "man-parts?" CHECK!
LOTS of my favorite tunnels? CHECK! MINI timothy hay bales so my teef never gotta be dremelled? CHECK! BEST water bottle that never
leaks, so easy to clean and refill a three-year-old
(shhhhhh.....) could do it? CHECK! MORE toys
yet to be installed? CHECK! CHECK-ER-ROOO!

LONELY? CHECK. YO! VINNY-GUINEA, YA,
I'M TALKIN' TO YOU! WANNA COME OVER
AND CHECK OUT MY NEW MAN-CAVE?

I'D invite you, too, YumYum but you tried to eat me the other day and apparently they showed that on an episode of some food channel where some #$@$^%! goes around the world and he picked 
up a LIVE CAVY and held it in a way that really hurt it and that was the best part of the episode...
the story was featured on Guinea Pig Today
online...so...you are not invited. Sorry. No pig-a-vores allowed inside MY man-cave! But that liddle thinga-ma-jig livin' wid you...where he at?

"So, how fun is THIS, VinnyGuinea? Makes ya feel like a kid again, don't it?"
"I still am a kid, Bhindi!"

"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

O.K. I don't like having company anymore. This is MY man-cave,
not a playground for juvenile delinquents and I fear my loneliness
has taken a wrong turn and soon even my very own FORTRESS of
SOLITUDE will be invaded by Mr. Speedy McReedy! Now what?

SQUEE! SQUEE! SQUEE!     I'M HAPPY AS CAN BE!
SQUEE! SQUEEZ-A-LOO!    IT'S FUN TO BE WITH YOU!

WHY DID I TURN RED? WHY ISN'T BHINDI PLAYING
WITH ME? WAS THAT A BAD POEM? WHY AM I RED?

SAD FACE, THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE EVER SEEN IT
ON VINNY-GUINEA...THE HAPPIEST PIGLET IN HISTORY IS WEARING A SAD FACE...IT'S TIME FOR MOM AND LOTS AND LOTS OF LOVE! BUT FIRST, WE
MUST GIVE A DEEP, LISTENING EAR TO VINNY'S FEELINGS SINCE HE IS STILL LEARNING TO ARTICULATE THEM, BEING SUCH A WEE, WIDDLE LAD AND WHAT-NOT-AND-SO-FORTH:


"BHINDI INVITED ME! NOW HE HAS "CROSSED THE
BARRICADE TO THE OTHER SIDE" AND LEFT ME RED
AS A LOBSTER. WHY? WHAT IS A FORTRESS OF
SOLITUDE? BABY PIGS DON'T LIKE THEM SO I AM
GOING HOME! I JUST WANTED TO PLAY. HE INVITED
ME. NOW HE HAS CROSSED THE RAMP AND I HAVE
TURNED RED AND I'M JUST A BABY PIGGIE WHOSE
BITS HAVEN'T DESCENDED AND...
MOOOOOOOOOM, PICK ME UP AND LOVE ME, PLEASE?!"


MOM?!

Take me home, country toads, take me
home, where I beLO--ONG, TO THE
FIRST CAGE, TO THE ONE CAGE,
I CALLED HOME...
I CALLED HOME.

MOM: "Honey, I'm sure John Denver
would be very proud of your version
of his song."

"Who?"

"Here, sweetie. Some lovies, now back you
go with your YumYum and if I get right
off the computer I will get you your
weekend treats...off you go there, now
that's my sweet boy!"

P.S. Let it be noted that a minuscule bean has been noted near Vinny's "frank" (ya know,
franks and beans, American-style) so we will
keep you breathless readers updated on the
"MANNING-UP!" of our darling Vinny's
little-bits! We are so thrilled!
Longing for his YumYum...Awww.
Cuz there's no place like Home.
Especially for wee-widdle piglets
like VinnyGuinea.
