MOM, DID YOU TELL THE MODS HOW I CHIRP LIKE MOLLY?

Dear Friends, Readers, and MODS,

Do you know that I am one of the rare guinea pigs who "chirps?" and that now, having been listening to Molly for months,
I surprise the herd and startle mom whenever I feel like it by Chirping Like Molly? Yupper! First time it happened they got REALLY got
their freak on, because we were Molly-watching (of course!) but it was ME!
Taj Mahal! Mom says it's already special that my pretty ear is two-toned, just like my bottom lip,
and that I am a silky Abyssinian,
but my adroit skills at audibly mimicking
Molly's "McGee, get your tushie in here and FEED ME! Then, and only then, may you have your way with me!" well, oh,
mom tells everybody that I am THAT SPECIAL! It's wonderful being me...sigh...so wonderful.

And since I rarely post a message on our Blog, I would like to give a special "Shout-Out" to every member of "The Black Sheep Rebellion" who made history! Now Carlos talks to us TWEETERS like we's all as special as me!

So wonderful...to be me...sigh.

Love you,
Taj Mahal

GOOD MORNING, OWLETS!

Dear Readers,

Since my toenails are the prettiest this morning, I, Raj Mahal, have officially chosen myself to welcome new baby owlets into the world on behalf of the "Herd that Hears" here at PandaPigSanctuary!

And welcome to any new MODS who have joined our blog about life as a magnificent cavy...you watch rodents being eaten inside Molly's Owl Box, but here you can see how we LIVE! How beautiful, sweet, affectionate, playful, and loving we are with
a big sense of humor and lots of Popcorn Giggles!

Do you know what popcorning is? In our lexicon, it is when we are too happy to contain so much GLEE inside our little bodies so we run and POP into the air, all four feet airborne, land, then take off at full speed, only to rise once more into the air! We's like popcorn, only guinea pigs, see?!
Although, in YumYum's case, he giggles so hard that sometimes he rolls over on his side, kicking out his little guinea pig feet before jumping upright at full speed, arching his fluffily Mohawked BackFur, then flying vertically into the air like a bucking bronco! He runs madly about, popping in his own peculiar way, in our RunAround Pen over and over, bucking and popping until mom is on the floor laughing too hard to breathe! Guess we think he's funny, too, just not as dignified as we are...but, he was the runt of the litter, wears his mohawk proudly, is half our size, and DAILY crowns himself AlphaPig of the herd...sigh. Taj and I just go along
with it then tell funny stories about him each evening at dusk, while mom is on "McGee Watch." (Now
an exercise in futility, although fun to watch Molly wing-whack him, throw him out, and demand food!)
Good thing for mom we don't have wings...not that we would EVER!

We are the Guinea Pig Nation. And now YOU are FAMILY, too!

Love,
Raj with Pedicure

REMEMBERING YUM-YUM'S FIRST DAY HERE AS A WEE LAD...AWWWW!

Dear precious readers,

Hello. How are you today? Fine, I hope. Oh? How are we? Well, mom is in bed sick and...

Our computer crashed, we lost our homepage, we can no longer link you to cool stuff, and the most brilliant blog post I have ever written in the history of our blog simply vanished from the screen just now, so here is a picture of me being cute as a baby. We need a time-out from the computer because it has given mom a headache and I want to---

never mind!  It's all good. At least we are now about guinea pigs again instead of owls, so if you want to see more of Molly, simply click onto one of the "blogs we are following" or go directly to her site.  If you want to see the most wonderful guinea pigs in the whole wide world, including exploding stars, colossal nebula, and the Answer to "What is Life?" come here. We want to know, too!

love,

YumYum

MOLLY'S FIRST EGG HAS HATCHED!

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

Dear Readers,

Please give a hearty, guinea pig welcome to the little peepin' pipper who finally hatched only one hour before mom's prediction in the "Hatch Time Pool" wherein the winner will receive a big "MOD hug" so we were
close and now mom can turn this off/down, tend to her migraine, and dote on us with maternal happiness.

We have paternal happiness. OF COURSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!

love,
little YumYum

p.s. as a result of the black sheep rebellion's success, Carlos got onto the social stream for a LIVE chat
with we TWEETERS late last night where, much to our horror and surprise, we discovered from him
that the average lifespan of a barn owl in the wild is like 20.5 months or something! EEK. They can
live longer, even over 20 years in captivity, but the challenges facing them in the wild are many and
well...we so glad we here at PandaPigSanctuary and now we not so jealous of the Molly Box. Aw, gee.

Dear Readers,

Before you purchase this breathtaking, fine art photography book about Molly and McGee
please be aware of one thing: we guinea pigs are not mentioned in it at all.

That said, WOWL! That is one pretty cool book.

The sequel is sure to be about us, though, and we can hardly wait!

VICTORY OF THE BLACK SHEEP

Dear Readers,

If you do not know what the "Victory of the Black Sheep" means please do not ask me to explain it
because, frankly,
WE guinea pigs are starting to feel that we deserve our own UStream Channel, millions of admirers
clamoring to buy books, comics, mugs, t-shirts, and DVD's about US, and we just don't get what a
barn owl has on us guinea pigs, awarded "Best in Show" daily by me!

And why is the NBC Nightly News doing a segment tomorrow night about an owl when they could be interviewing US?!

GUINEA PIGS RULE: So, seriously, would somebody get their priorities straight?! Wheek!

Seeing as how mom treated us tonight to a runabout resplendent with freshly picked, organic greens, and tomorrow is
the Bellingham Farmer's Market, we all agree not to labor the point at this time.

We simply need to state for the record that no barn owl could intrigue, delight, amuse, entertain, inform, and make a
better best friend than we guinea pigs here at PandaPigSanctuary and if you are an entertainment agent, we can be reached
at...

"Yummy, what are you doing this late past your bedtime?"

"Mom, writing a love letter to you on our blog...?"

"Carry on then, I'm not awake, just checking, love you all, sweethearts! G'night, and dream of owls hatching!"

"We will mom, that's what we have planned this evening."

SEE WHAT I MEAN?

yum-yum OUT!

OH MY, DEAR READERS, THE PEEPER IS PIPPING! EEEEK!

1BLACK-SHEEP-SKATER!

Dear Readers,

This morning during Carlos and Eric's Interview the Black Sheep Rebellion of the social streamers was a complete success!
We have overthrown the despotic hierarchy of the "chat room" and were addressed politely, and FIRST, by both Carlos and
Eric, who even laughed as we all TWEETED: "BaaaaaaaaaaaaaH!" before asking questions about Molly stuff!

The overthrow of the "chatroom" domination has been completed in a peaceful, hysterically funny, Shock & Awe Special
Ops maneuver unequalled in the annals of root canals!

Who can think? As i types this Molly's first egg is hatching!!! oh my, oh my, oh my, and tomorrow night is the NBC Nightly
News special segment on Molly and us MODS! oh my, such little guinea pigs we are, and so much excitement!

WWWWWhhhhhhhhhhhhEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!

oh my, is i still YumYum? so happy, egg hatching! oh my, eeeek! oh my!
