GUINEA-VINNY: GROWING UP AT LAST...


Is it morning yet?

 
Must be, our little Olympian is already at
work, training for his Yoga competition.
Yup, they're gonna have Yoga as a sport
in London and Vinny's trying out...
but he has ulterior motives and we all
know what they are.



 
Coach Mom has me on a strict athletic
diet so I can stretch, strenthen, and defy
the laws of gravity with gravitas, dazzling
fans from all over the world, especially
my little Fairy!


SIGH...
 
OOPS, MOM WANTS ME
TO FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS!

 
My black foot is my "lucky one" and
I CAN already HOP ATOP MY
TWO-DOOR "BIG BEN CASTLE TURRET"
WITH EASE AND MOM LEAVES HAY
AS A REWARD FOR MY EFFORTS!

 

WELL, I HATE TO SAY IT, BUT THE
GUINEA PIG FORMERLY KNOWN AS
LITTLE VINNY-GUINEA CAN
NOW REACH
THE TIP TOP OF HIS CAGE! TONIGHT HE
EVEN SCRAMBLED INTO A SQUARE FERRET
HOUSE MOM HAD HANGING UP BY YUM-YUM'S
HOUSE DRYING OUT BECAUSE IT'S WHERE
YUM-YUM SLEEPS AND IF YOU CLIMB, YOU
MIGHT THINK OF IT LIKE A BIVY-SACK, WELL
SHE WAS MEDITATING AND HEARD A LOUD
RUCKOUS ONLY TO FIND VINNY HAVING
ACTUALLY LEPT INTO THE FERRET HOUSE
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET FROM
THERE TO POLE-VAULTED THE REST OF 

THE HEIGHT SCRAMBLING WILDLY INTO
YUM-YUM'S CAGE! 


IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME...
(UNTIL MOM HAS TO GET A TOP FOR VINNY'S
CAGE) WHICH SEEMS A POOR REWARD
FOR SUCH DEDICATED EFFORTS JUST TO 

REUNITE
AND GO HOME TO HIS PRECIOUS FRIEND,
YUM-YUM. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYONE
MORE DETERMINED  JUST TO GO BACK

HOME
AND LIVE  HAPPILY EVER AFTER 

WITH THE FIRST FRIEND HE EVER HAD?
VINNY-GUINEA DESERVES BETTER.
BUT IT'S ALL UP TO YUM-YUM...HE
SURVIVED LOSING CALVIN, BUT NOT
THE REST. 
LET'S HOPE BEING A YOGI IN THE OLYPIGS,
FLYING INTO THE STADIUM IN THE POCKETS
OF 007'S FLIGHT SUIT WITH FAIRY, AND AND
WINNING MEDALS WILL GIVE VINNY THE
*|* HE NEVER GREW AND CONFIDENCE
THAT COMES WITH HAVING A FREE PAIR
OF BOWLING BALLS THAT GIVE ME A
CERTAIN "SWAGGER" LIKE AN OUTLAW.
sweet dreams.

This is a real, bona fide carrot from the local Farmer's Market
that signifies Eternal Love...of Eating! It's many interpretive
meanings may matter to us but to VinnyGuinea, BhindiBoy,
and YumYum it only means: EPIC WIN!
STILL, a thing of beauty, eh?
We think so. Love eternal.
"Love of eating carrots eternally."
Thanks, YumYum, for Keepin' It Real!

TAKING CARE OF MOM NOW THAT I'M A BIG BOY!

 
Now that Calvin's gone, mom needs a piggie
to snuggle in his blanket with her when
she's feeling, as the visiting nurse put it,
"unable to gain Altitude."
So, I sleep with mom now, but keep a
watchful eye because we can sleep with
our eyes open, didya know that? Ya, true!

 
HOW YA DOIN' MA?


 
DON'T GO FAR...
(ooooh!)
CRASH! CLANG! POW!#!
"WHAT THE - #$@!"


MA, Y'OK?
ANY SEWING SCISSORS 
INVOLVED?
MA?


"NO SCISSORS, SWEETIE, JUST A
LITTLE, WEE BIT OWIE AND YOU 
DIDN'T REALLY NEED THOSE...
UH...NOPE! ALL FINE.
GOOD."
("What the bloody hork WAS THAT ON THAT FLOOR?!")


love you ALL,
Vinny the Strong, the Faithful, the Protective
and those other clowns popcorning like crazy
in their cages having fun while I do all the work.
Which I love to do, as you can see,
just Mommy & me.
