REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE RICK PERRY DROPS OUT OF RACE FOLLOWING PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF HIS DISLIKE FOR GUINEA PIGS

Rick Perry drops out of

Republican bid for

Presidential Nomination

following reports

he loves all

animals except

guinea pigs.

Rick, can't say we didn't

warn you...just that you

Texans only listen

to Big things...

And now, YOU DROPPING OUT

IS THE BIG THING.

Tsk. Tsk. Maybe next time

before you go trying to

throw us off the Noah's ARK

of your love...you think

twice about it, eh, cowpie?

"The downfall is in

the details."

REPUBLICANS: WATCH YOUR BACK!

Read on to see how Republicans REALLY FEEL ABOUT GUINEA PIGS and why they must be defeated in the Super Bowl, preferably by the New York Giants!
CONFOOZLED? READ ON, my friends, read on!

Primary Collars: Pets Get Political: Pet News

Texas Governor Rick Perry states FOR THE RECORD

that although he "loves all animals" he has conceded that he

is "not so partial to guinea pigs." (Paragraph #4, can't miss it!)

Excuse YOU?! We are voting for someone who IS not only
partial to us, but will make us the first FIRST GUINEA PIGS
in PRESIDENTIAL White House pet history, so take that,
Texas Governor Rick Perry, how dare you single us out like that?

We are deeply VEXED!

Our votes now hang on chads, Rick, so mind yourself!

EVERYBODY's an artist! Winkleheimer!

SPEAKING TREE picks mom today

(IF you find it, her blog where blue arrow is, above-left,
and good luck with that!)

Introducing SPEAKING TREE, the place we send mom when
she "wants to talk" and we want to eat, play, popcorn,
chew our cardboard boxes, play chase, steal one another's
food, toss hay-bales, and have FUN!

We send her to a place far, far away so while
she thinks she is here with us,
(OH STOP IT, YOU WOULD, TOO,
ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVED WITH HER)
in reality we hath banished her half-way
across the world for them to deal with!

SANCTIMONIOUS REBUKES ADDRESSED TO US
WILL NOT BE OPENED, READ, OR ANSWERED.
WE HAVE A NEW CAVIARY AND ARE WAITING
FOR OUR NEW COPY OF GUINEA PIG MAGAZINE
AND CocoNutPie said (with no small amount
of uncharacteristic sarcasm...)

"Just tell them we're waiting
for our tails to grow in!"

OH NO SHE IS-N'T!

WHEEEK! SNOW! LOTS & LOTS & LOTS & LOTS...NOT TO MENTION impending windstorm with gusts from 60 - 80 mph and windchill ALREADY 5 degrees BELOW ZERO, AIN'T NOTHIN' mom loves MORE than an exciting POST-OP SNOWSHOEING
ADVENTURE! SQUEEEEEEEEEEE! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! Who let her out?!

On the flip side, may as well get used to the cold in case arctic windstorm knocks out our power >

GO MAMA!

(not really. photograph by John Lok of The Seattle Times...mom in bed where she belongs.)

BUT EDWIN MADE US A NEW CAVIARY IN LIVING ROOM, WAY COOL cuz even he can't get back go Seattle: too much snow, wind, ice and he would become stranded at Seattle train station downtown unable to get back home. Our 2 Kitties cozy as kittens at their favorite vet, boarding down the street from Edwin's apartment where they get lots and lots of love as vet tech who spoils them lives only 2 blocks away so can walk there. Chai and Sami actually safer there than anywhere during this epic storm...sooooo,  Edwin is still here...goin' with mom to cardiologist to make sure she don't pull off her heart monitor and "accidentally" flush it down the toilet since it's a pain-in-the-# to wear for a month...
But waaaaay TOO COLD to leave apartment today, just gaze longingly out the window dreaming of Urban Arctic Adventures in and around the Downtown Corridors of Mt. Bellingham...
There was one Michelin Man siting: walking his dog outside...brrrrrr......EVEN THE CAFES ARE CLOSED! THE TOWN IS CLOSED!

IF YOU REALLY LOVE US SEND COFFEE! WE GOT OUR FRESH FOOD, HAY, AND SUPPLIES BUT MUM AND EDWIN, WELL...
WE SAY: PLAY-TIME, WAKE UP AND LET US OUT AND WATCH US PLAY AND FEED US AND LET'S GET THIS PIGGIE PARTAY STARTED AS WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED OUR MAGAZINE BUT ONCE WE DO TAJ GONNA GO AFTER THE FICKLE LITTLE FAIRY PIGGIE...SO THIS MAY BE OUR LAST CHANCE FOR FRATERNAL FESTIVITIES BEFORE THE WOOING GETS...WELL...
(to be continued after magazine arrives...and it may not be pretty, not pretty.)

UH-OH! EPISODE 1 of "As The Cavy Sleeps"

Raj sleeps with his eyes open, dreaming of his Fairy Princess, while before his sleeping eyes...

Taj is comparing the pinkness of his tongue with the pinkness of Fairy's tongue...
What will happen when Raj wakes up?
TO BE CONTINUED...STAY TUNED!

Fairy, Is There Room For...

Dear Fairy,

It's your very own true love, Raj, here...tonight we have a poorly mum and a blizzard, too, and it's cold and we were wondering, Fairy...Oh, and we have our Mr. Mouse, too...but, would you maybe have room for one more, that would be mum...and then room for one more, that would be me, of course...then maybe have room for CocoNutPie (you could trade beauty secrets!) and MacNutPie...and, oh well, TAJ MAHAL, of course, he of international Guinea Pig Magazine Cover Pin-Up fame...and, YumYum...hmmm, we might need to put him with your miceys...have I forgotten anybody? Well, see, they told mum when she got out of the hospital to "take it easy" and we are POSITIVE she was! Seriously, quiet as Mr. Mouse and in bed resting...most of the time, Honest!

Now, maybeeeeeee, well,  not QUITE ENOUGH...so, what I am trying to ask is, is...Fairy, could we ALL CRAWL IN THERE WITH YOU TONIGHT? We're cold and still miss Calvin and Mariella, you know how it is to have "one of those days" well, it's turning into "many of those days - and nights, too!" so, um, would you have room for...us...ALL in there with you and your miceys? Thank you for your kind, gracious consideration, Fairy.

We would bring our own snickety-snackety baskets to share!?

{Sweet Beautiful Photo of Fairy courtesy of her mum or dad? Not sure since we swiped it...oopsie!}

MOM HOME? WHERE SHE?

Dear Friends,

From every one of us at Panda Pig's Peace Sanctuary, thank you for your love, prayers, kind wishes, and wrapping us up in the nooks and crannies of your generous hearts to comfort us through one heck of a New Year! Mom is now home and Edwin is helping us make her behave and we have only hearts full of gratitude for so many wonderful, amazing, crazy-awesome friends willing to be the Wind Beneath our Ear-Flaps...thank you: We love you, each and every one... for although we have lost our precious Calvin, we still have our Mom. And it took miracles and we received miracles. We love living and we love loving and we love YOU!

YOURS,

MacNutPie, CocoNutPie, YumYum, Raj and the infamous, internationally famous Taj Mahal

WHO'S YOUR DADDY?

Taj Mahal strikes it BIG on the cover of the next international Guinea Pig Magazine! Demands more food, scritchy-scratches,

and to be praised continually for his amazing tongue...has already retained an agent in Hollywood to tell his life story in indie film biopic showing him eat, sleep, play chase with Raj, popcorn, wheek, and shamelessly snitch food from his brother, EVEN moving his Extra-Large Pigloo

(with its heavy, ceramic food bowl, wooden chew toy, mini-hay-bale, and other accoutrements) over to his bright, new orange fabric hay trough, so instead of eating out of the holes at the bottom like the commoners, he leaps atop his tall pigloo, shoving front paws and snout into the open top,  pigging out head-first! Guess that qualifies him for Cover Pig: He outsmarted Jen, the trough designer, passing on her well-planned design to HAVE IT HIS WAY... Imagine that swirly-chocolate head and bright pink tongue plunging into as much hay as he can eat and you have this month's dashingly handsome, humble Cover Pig!

(Houston, we may have a problem.)

A wonderful problem that brings much needed joy at this time.

Not to rain on his parade...but we discovered that THREE OTHER GIRL PIGGIES, ONE FROM EACH SISTER SANCTUARY passed away last week after Calvin, a total of four piggies the first week of the year. Apparently, Calvin now has his own harem to teach him how to popcorn and run and do all the things he never could do in his boneless body...We extend our deepest sympathy and condolences to Fairy, Ingrid, and Jen of Jen's Custom Crafts. We have never experienced so much loss in such a short time and each from a sanctuary or family with whom we feel dearly close.

So we shall rejoice with Taj as we also give thanks to all the girls who are watching over Calvin in heaven and teaching him how much fun a piggie can have once free of suffering.

We also wish to thank each and every one of our friends from America, England, and India for the support and love we have received during this difficult time...

Taj is now on the phone with his "agent" - oops, apparently he now has an iPAD and is ordering custom Robin Hood apparel for himself and the herd, having pulled a credit card out of nowhere...this is definitely gonna get interesting!

P.S. Although the magazine contents are not available online, he is also featured with his very own interview inside while MacNutPie sports his personal collection of products through the magazine store...dem pigs done gone HOG WILD!
