DARN KITTEN: STOLE OUR HEARTS AND TOOK THEM WITH HER TO HER "FOREVER HOME' AND WE MISS HER. GEE WHIZ!

SWINGIN' ATOP MY HAMMOCK HOUSE

Dear Readers,

Are you sweltering? We are keeping cool, but it hasn't been an easy week. So, it's nice to hop upon the top of my soft-house
and swing in the breeze with the wheatgrass...

Sorry readers, we got nothin' it's just H.O.T. ya know?

Loves ya's all,

YumYum

MOLLY'S TWO EGGS!

Molly's Box: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

Dear Readers,

Carlos just sent us these photographs of Molly tending to her sweet little eggs and we wanted to share them.
We don't know how many more she will lay because, apparently, McGee has been slackin' off a little on the
food drops... guinea pigs are not owl-o-logists, so we cannot speculate on whether that is normal or not.

If it was me, I'd be bringing her take-out pizza, Chinese, Italian, whatever her big heart desired, so we
could get lots more owlets to decorate California's palm trees...although we don't really know where the
owlies are now that neighboring palm trees are owl-free.

I would have been a great Daddy if mom hadn't snipped my manhood in the prime of my testosterone attacks.

Now we'll never...
(sniff)...know...how great a daddy I coulda been...just because i bite every other guinea pig i can doesn't
mean i would have, well, you KNOW...it's just too hot and that makes us morbid. Forgive us, won't you?

YumYum out, sniffle, too hot, too hot, we're doomed.

WHAT MEANS "SHARE" ?!

MOM MAKES SURE I'M COOL! HEY, YUM-YUM IS ALWAYS COOL!

Mom checks on us a lot to make sure we are not overheating, although we are actually pretty comfortable...
i got a new straw mat to hang out on and watch the Mahals just spread their fat selves out in the hay and pretend to be beautiful. But i have become pretty good buddes with Raj throught the bars of our adjacent cages and am putting up with them a lot better, mom says, and she is proud of me. They have grown big and burly and chase each other and play so much it's like having "Animal Planet" on 24/7, but - like mom and Molly's Owl Box -  i'm kind of liking it...mom had wicked bad migraine today, yet had to keep the windows OPEN
for the breeze while there was a LOUD carpet cleaning cleaning truck just under us, LOUDER construction on the second phase of our apartment complex, AND, the Harley-Davidsons were revving their engines and ROARING FULL SPEED by all day! This WHILST next door to the Harley place is a music store where they (now that we have to keep our windows open) suddenly have an influx of kids determined to learn to play drums as LOUDLY as humanly - though not humanely - possible!
How mom sleeps, nobody knows! must be those new Chinese herbs...i like hanging out with the Mahals while we talk about being "cool pigs in the summertime" before mom wakes up, wanders about like a zombie, makes sure we're good and comfortabale, fed and watered, then tumbles back into her bed full of LOUD CITY NOISE, windows remaining wide open due to our heat wave.  Earplugs no longer work, so she smothers herself with ice packs and listens
to soothing CD's with earbuds, before falling back asleep in pain. Or oblivious, which we prefer, for her sake.

Yesterday we all realized how much we actually do miss Fluffy and mom grieved all day. Which probably
led to the headache, sleep, and utter ZOMBIEFICATION: MOMMY-ZOMBIE! Wanders about wondering why...then finds the bed again and tumbles back into it! Is it wrong to laugh at her?

HOWEVER: Acupuncture and Tai Chi are helping her balance so much there is a chance she may learn to walk again  and we are  excited about that! Since we love to run about and popcorn,  once she learns to walk, we are agreed she will also learn to popcorn with us! She will hop up and down like the jumping
dance her Maasai friend showed her. It's all  hot, sunny, and GOOD. 

SO: Stay cool, my friends: JUST be like YumYum: "way cool, all the time! no exeptions!"

Hi Y'all,

How is everybody enjoying the SUDDEN EMERGENCE OF SUMMER?!

We piggies are surviving the heat quite well, mom was sick in bed and slept ALL DAY except to feed us and make sure our water bottles were full (but we played and played together in our pen last night, so we were tired, too)
AND Molly laid her 2nd egg!

What's an egg?

WHAT IS TAME, MOM? ARE WE TAME?

MAHALS SHARING THE LOVE

Molly Lays an Egg « Molly's Box: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

Due to the severity of mom's migraines, she has cut back on watching Molly's Owl Box, but we want to share joyful news HOT OFF THE PRESS that the best owl mom in the whole world has just laid the FIRST EGG
of her second clutch!

MODS are once again with child...that TWEET's gonna hit the fan tomorrow. We just discovered watermelon which we understand because it is delicious on a hot, summer day, but humans baffle us, truly! They want to sit in front of a computer screen and watch an egg?  Why not watch paint dry?

We cavies are watching you, humans, and taking notes! You definitely fascinate. Fortunately, mom is watching what is best for her: US!

Wheek! WATERMELON! SUMMER. HEAT. WARMTH POURING THROUGH OUR WINDOWS.

and Raj is getting tame...oh my!

I AM BECOMING TAME AND NOT SURE HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT...

SHE'S BAAAAAACK!

The Bellingham Herald / Top Stories / Caspian terns crowding into Bellingham pulp mill nesting grounds

Even though we don't live on the waterfront, we can see them chasing away eagles and other avian
predators and ARE THEY SQUAWKY-SCREECHY! But very pretty. A vote was taken and all
three of us unanimously love Caspian Terns and Caspian Tern babies!
