1SKATER

Dear Readers, for months mom has been trying to figure out a way to put a photo on her TWITTER avatar,
always unsuccessfully. We are proud to report that mom has not changed, and she still has not figured out a way to put her photo on TWITTER (and likely never will.)
So, here is the only place you are ever likely to see the TWITTER avatar for 1skatr.

p.s. Even a guinea pig could figure THAT OUT!
we giggle all day long!
love, YumYum

WE LOVE THIS BLOG: IT'S ALL ABOUT GUINEA PIGS! WWWhhhheeeeeek!

CT Guinea Pig Rescue: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

Dear wonderful readers,

The above link is to an excellent blog posted by the folks at a guinea pig rescue from a place that is hard for me to spell. Just click the above CT Guinea Pig Rescue. Well done!

If you are enslaved by or are considering becoming enslaved by your very own guinea pig, please learn as much as you can about us first, so that your piggy (hopefully, piggies, they need company, we are HERD animals) will be as happy and healthy and loving as a guinea pig can be: and that's A LOT OF LOVE!

YumYum out!

P.S. We saw Boris the Spider last night in the middle of the night when mom couldn't sleep and decided that we like Boris very much, especially when he climbs onto the front of the camera lens and dances!

MY NAME IS YUM-YUM AND I AM A MOD

Now that Molly's first egg-hatch due date is August 8th, we're all up and into it! We can't help getting swept away in the sweet anticipation of fuzzy, bobble-headed, wobbly owlets face-planting as they struggle comically to stand in gag-shag many inches deep already! We watch and giggle as if they are our own.
And, since Mom is hopelessly back into MollyWatching,  if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!  So, we're stocking up for Aug. 8, knowing that once "Egg-Hatch Watch" commences we'll be glued to the screen with mom and the rest of our MOD family...We even feel affection for Boris, the spider who crawls across the lens of the camera, fogging up our view with his web-making dance.  Boris, our new friend! We love all.

Transformer Owl: MODS, YA GOTTA SEE THIS!

GONNA BLEND IN, GONNA HIDE BY BLENDING IN: CAN'T TOUCH THIS!

Precious Readers,

By now you all know that both Raj and Taj Mahal are already neutered, only Raj is on REwind and doesn't seem to realize the dastardly deed hath already been done, and he's a much tamer, calmer, healthier, AND happier guinea pig as a result! Let's take a vote: who gets to tell him? Me, Taj, or mom?

Personally, I think Raj's tailfeathers are all up in a ruffle because he thought the vet was going to snip his gorgeous coiff!

NO WAY! We love your "tailfeathers" Raj, it's just that you and Taj were "playing" too rough and mom and the vet both

feared you might accidentally hurt one another...not to mention how unpleasant it has been for me to have the two of

you behaving that way adjacent to my chaste, pure cage!

Been done, dude! ChilLax, already! You're neutered, Taj is neutered, I am neutered, and we are a peaceful guinea pig
nation now that our hormones are in the vault!

love,
YumYumYummy!

GONNA HIDE, NOT GETTING NEUTERED, NOT GETTING NEUTERED!

HOUSTON, WE HAVE MOLLY ON-SCREEN AND LIVE FOR TAKE-OFF

lots of ways to watch Molly, McGee, and her four eggs, one of which mom swears she saw move
Thursday nigh, or wobble...or hiccup. who are we to deny that owlets hiccup in their shells?!

IN LOVING MEMORY OF PANDA PIG AND BEAR, THE BEAVER PIG

Dear Readers,

We just received the ashes of our beloved friends and herdmates yesterday, and want to share with you that we miss them
every day, in every way. Our only consolation is that now Raj and Taj Mahal have a forever home with us, and those two
NEEDED ONE! When they came here, neither had ever been held, petted, or touched and they were already nine months
old, not neutered and - quite frankly - wild little fellows! They would not have made good pets for children, they would have
died of grief had they been adopted out separately to two different households, and yet HERE they fit in perfectly!
Wonder of wonders! The "Herd that Hears" can listen to profound grief, joy, and gratitude ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
We guinea pigs amaze ourselves, honestly we do!

love,
YumYum

"THE TAMING"

Dear Fine Friends, feathered and otherwise,

Don't look now, but Raj Mahal, oh he of Royal Wild Demeanor, is starting to like mom!

Could it be the celery?

Could it be the carrots? The home-grown, organic wheatgrass perhaps?

Or mom just climbing into the Runabout and hanging out while Mahals tug at her
overalls or denim jumper because hidden in the crevices are slices of something
juicy-fruity and yummy?

All I know is this: once on her lap, they stay to be petted, even groomed, and when
mom stops petting them they look up at her until she says "Oh, you want more?"
and pets them more.

Don't know what them Mahals call it, but mom and me, we calls it "The Taming"
and figures what they don't know won't hurt them!

Big Shout Out to am and Oboe, who invited mom over today and made her happy!
Thanks, spiritual/art friends! We sure miss you. Loves, usn's

WHEN I WAS A WEE LITTLE LADDIE

TONIGHT since we both have insomnia, mom and I looked through old photographs and found this gem of me when I was still just a wee piglet, a runt, but loved by mom and PandaPig, who raised me. I miss PandaPig. He was the best part of my youth.
Now I am the alpha male of the Herd That Hears and although I remain nearly half the size of the rest of the herd, I learned
how to be a good Herd Patriarch and am guiding the Mahals as they slowly become tame. My name is YumYum and this is
the blog I inherited from PandaPig. We changed the format, and hope you like it! YumYum and mom had better go to bed now!
