Mom Broke Blogger: Now She Gonna Set Up A Store At Cafe Press?!

This just gets better and better! First mom got really sick cuz she got so happy she went overboard. Does she know better? Of Course she knows better. Then she got stuck in bed and bored, so she decided to improve and tweak a few little things and broke Blogger. Does she know better? Of course she knows better. Then a light bulb went off in her (already dimly lit) head and she decided that one of the easiest ways to earn funds for our Guinea Pig Sanctuary would be if she didn't have to do ANYTHING at all! (She real good at that one. That we all gots plenty o'confidence in!)

Since we are selling so well in England and Europe raising funds for guinea pig sanctuaries there, mom thought (and here's the good part - "Huh? Why don't I do that, too? Here? For us?")

Wow, how could she not be a rocket scientist?

So, tonight she opened up an account as a vendor of her very own site/store at Cafe Press! Yup! She did it!

She was so happy we all clapped our tails together to cheer her on!

There does come a point, however, having crossed her T's and dotted her I's that you actually have to put PRODUCTS in your
store. They asked her how that was coming along, like, let's get
this party started!

She decided that it was time to DEFRAGGLE the computer and that is exactly what she is doing now.

What we mean to tell all of our faithful readers and hangers on is
that very soon, hopefully BEFORE CHRISTMAS, she will have designed us with funny sayings and even figured out how to download us onto OUR VERY OWN GUINEA PIG SANCTUARY STORE ON CAFE PRESS!

We'll let you know how it's going...
Seriously, because we want you to spend all your money on us
like they do in England, where cavies are treasured, adored, and
considered Royal.

We'll let you know how it's going...
Right now we have to get her back to bed so she has the strength
to go to the Farm Store for our monthly "Stock Up" on what were all our favorite things until new boxes arrived from England and Jen's little cozy cavy shop in the Midwest and now we have NEW
favorite things! Meanwhile, if they can do it at Guinea Pig Magazine and the place that put Coconut in a calendar, why can't mom just do it, too?

(That was a rhetorical question. But you already knew that, didn't you?)

Will Miracles Never Cease?

And - Just In Time For The HOLIDAYS: MOM BROKE BLOGGER!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Our first holiday gift from mom (and it's not
even Chanukkah or Christmas yet! OOhhh,
this is gonna be interesting!) would have to
be her timely breakage of Blogger! She added
something to her computer so she could chat
with friends in other countries who asked if she
could chat with them since they are in other countries and so, of course, she installed what they suggested
so we could spend our Holidays Around the World
and now we can't even spend them right here on
our own BLOG!
So, for now, please see the new blog post from
GuineaPigToday posted on top of "Blogs We Follow"
to the right there (next to our SQUEEE! Fairy!) to
learn how we will be spending Chanukkah with mom
even though:
1. She never knows what day or even day of the week it is because when so much of your life is lived
in bed it stops making a whole lot of difference after awhile so if Susan doesn't leave a voicemail TELLING her...we think Susan might get mom a special watch because even a calendar mom can't understand and 3. It was deemed by mom's friends that at no time ever is she allowed to own and operate matches or candles ever, ever, ever so we will pretend to light something each night if we can figure out what December 20 means in "mom's world" and for each night receive a special cuddle and different treat.
And until we fix whatever she has done to our Blog we apologize in advance for whatever we post because look like she done broke it, YUP, DONE
BROKE IT GOOD!
love you but we can only do so much given what we have to work with and know that if you know mom you know what we mean...
love,
oy! pigs

SMITTEN!

{All portraits of Fairy lifted shamelessly
withOUT permission from her very own
Blog by Raj Mahal & his Merry Band of Bandits because we felt compelled into Piracy by too much cuteness all on ONE blog; didn't seem right to us. Not our fault!}
Dear Readers, our Beloved Pig-Across-the-Pond just blogged her precious way into all of our hearts and now Raj has a bit of competition, even from CoconutPie who feels inspired to get girlishly into the Spirit HERSELF! 
We love Fairy's HAT and how jauntily
it sits perched upon her head: she sure knows how to dress for success!


FAIRY REIGNS FROM HER VERY OWN PERSONALLY DECORATED PLUSH
CHRISTMAS TREE-CUP!
OH, COME ALL YE FAITHFUL, AND ENJOY FAIRY'S NEWEST, VERY MERRY
BLOG POST AT fairymagic.me
resting serenely at the top of our "Blogs We Follow List just to the right here...

Mom overdid it - we are so startled - and has WILTED lamely back into her sickbed despite promises to wash our new and older cuddle cups...
BUT! A *Very*Fairy*Package* appeared in our Post Office Box yesterday too!!!!
We wish mom could be happy with less excitement ~ exuberance ~ DRAMA.
You see: it's not the "HAPPY" but the DRAMA surrounding the HAPPY that
drops her...so, please join us (carol sung to the tune of "Do You See What I See?") 
"Can You See Like FAIR-RY?"
Which, since Fairy is blind and deaf, means that if we see what she sees, and if we hear what she hears, there's MAGIC IN-IT ~ DANCING STARS, WHIRLING GALAXIES, spinning PLANETS, & Full MOONS whose dear ELVES are WORKING overtime to figure out how to use their new iPhones to GPS Earth this year
for SANTA. HELLOooo:
JUST ASK RUDOLPH! Works every time.

We don't own one iThing or T.V. nor do we need to because Fairy has been teaching us to see and hear how she lives in her very own Magical World with her very own SPECIAL mummy and daddy and that's keeping our learning-challenged mom from every sadness especially when she is sick...
nobody can be sad anymore, only HAPPY: Just click on fairy.me and Happiness Doth Enter, bringing "oooh's" and "ahhh's" & laughter and precocious humor 
wrapped in sweetly fragranced layers of *Fairy*Dust*Magic*Hope*Love on gosssamer wings of Light and Joy!

We love you, Fairy, and you will receive a proper thank-you once our pathetic "sack o'mamma" gets her carcass outta bed and really digs into every nook, cranny, and tiny envelope contained within our newest WONDERFULS:
THAT MAKES 2 BOXES OF WONDERFULS
we have yet to share here with all of you!


Mom, HAPPY does not have to hurt
if you enjoy it like savoring a chocolate truffle with pecans and that gooey, sticky sweet stuff...one bite at a time...slowly!!#@@!$^&*&!
(no worries, not a one of us gonna show you's a pic o'mom truffle-eating nor tell you the story about Edwin's finger and the truffle machine what ate it;
we haven't told that story have we? Of course not, nor will we, so - no worries) CARAMEL...YES!
that is the word we seek: CARAMEL. PECANS. MILK CHOCOLATE...they are called "turtles" here. Or Terrapins. Or "bliss" depending upon whom you ask.
bye-bye.
love, Raj and a very Cavy Gang of TruffleRustlers
in search of lettuce, carrots, ripe, bouncy, red, yellow, and green peppers, ripe pomegranates, cucumbers, berries, peeled grapes and - right, chocolate terrapins - for mom's Chanukkah stocking!
Love, Raj & Stuff

PACKAGE? WHERE? PACKAGE WHERE? FOR ME?

Package, I am now a confirmed bachelor as my wife hath left me for the single-occupancy
Cuddle-Hut she swiped from our Piggie-Commons-Runabout (rapidly transforming itself into GuineaElfVillage!) so...dur...dur...
Where's my hut? My kingdom for a hut! Macadamia nuts for a hut! A MacNutPieHut for...
(dur...WAIT! That would be MY hut...)

MacNutPie doth declare Elizabethan-sized confoozlement on the wrong side of "the Pond."
(It's all that Raj & Fairy Romance stuff...such fluff! I'm already married and can tell you - ")

Raj: "Maybe you will find a HAT, MAC...A McHat for your McHut! Blame McBeth!"
MacNut wearing his MacHat in his MacHut talking like McBethPie? yeah...i can see that.

The BEST Day EVER!

Today was our Best Day EVER and mom was well enough to get out of bed to make it happen!
Make what happen? OUR BOX OF NEW CUDDLY STUFF ARRIVED IN TIME FOR MAKING
GuineaElfVillage a Reality in our lifetime! We gonna take lots of pictures cuz the minute we
start playing with and in them we start popcorning and going WILD!

Our only regret? Fairy...and her mum and dad should be with us. Even M&M...you have to
guess their names, because they are guinea pigs, not barn owls!

"And Millie Bea should be here with me in my new GINOURMOUS MAN-CAVE!" piped in YumYum (who truly does now own an EPIC sleep-sack big enough for...more than one!)

Our only other regret? That mom been stuck in bed so long she overdid it.
(Wow, who saw that coming?)

Shouldn't have let her out BUT WE WANTED OUR STUFF, we had to!

She carried our box everywhere on her walker and showed our stuff to everyone and found a
really sweet salesgirl in Fairhaven Village with a chinchilla who now might get his or her
very own snuggly "sumpin-sumpin"! Mom found "little furry animal people" to talk with!
(That may not have come out right...then again...it might have...better to say no more, eh?)
So now mom totally "clunked out" and I can't compose poetry and reply to Fairy's emails...
Wah!
Yet, I shall tonight gaze upon our BRIGHT Full Moon, Fairy, so look out your window because you know what? We will both be looking at the same moon at the same time for the first of what promises to become many, many Happy Times of LoveMoonGazing and I shall compose a poem just for you once mom -

ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! PLOP!

Mom? Mo-OM? Night-night, moon, Fairy, Millie Bea, secret financier of GuineaElfVillage,
and everyone in the world and the sky and the sea including goeducks, look it up, they
ARE HERE!
