Come Home Soon!

In Germany, we are called "meeries" and our friend Ingrid has
eight of us! My Fairy Princess has her big sister, Marigold. Now I
have VinnyGuinea, or "mini-me" but he is teaching me more
than I am teaching him! What a seriously intelligent little
meerie he is turning out to be!
 This is how PandaPig and YumYum were...
together...inseparable!
Meeries are special.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS FOR MOM!

FRIENDSHIP

WHAT'S A BUNNY AND DO I HAVE TO SHARE MY CARROT?

I'm sure bunnies are nice and all...

I just hope carrots aren't their favorite food...
Because I am nothing if not generous.

But, the ears. They confuse me.

VinnyGuinea and Raj Mahal

Please press collage for enlargement! Mom in hospital again this week and Vinny, Raj, and the Gang all joining me at Parker's place where he has a big herd of piggies and we get our very own bunny rabbit until mom is able to go home! Mom asked me to tell you all she loves receiving emails if you don't mind that she isn't able to write back until she is stronger. We are all happy with our bunny and love you all, and Raj insisted on showing off him and Vinny hangin' out on their new, Big Plushy Carrot that our very own Fairy sent us!

Fairy, can you tell we love it?!

We love you each and every one! Mom is so grateful for your kind wishes and we'll do our best to keep you

up to date on our new lives for the right-now-unusual moment!!!

Love,
YumYum and my Rowdy Band of PiratePigs (and our little bunny rabbit!)

My Happy Life by VinnyGuineaPig

Welcome to my Happy New Life! This is my sleep
sack, also my Clubhouse, also where Raj told me I have to snatch & scoot to keep Taj from stealing back the food he already stole from Raj...I don't understand but I am so little I don't have to, and maybe I never will! Ha-Ha-Ha, a merry boy am I!

Check out Taj giving me "the eye" HA-HA! Raj said
it's because he hasn't figured out what I am yet! And he also told me that when Taj gives me "that look" I need to shout: "GO GIANTS!" since he won't admit it
publicly, but we think Raj might be a closet Patriots fan. OH! AND TODAY MUM NOTICED FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE WHITE FUR,TOO, JUST LIKE RAJ!

I know I told you all this before, but sometimes I just like to be quiet and meditate in my WhEEkGrass on things like "Will I grow up to be a race horse?"

Raj is teaching me GuineaPigYoga! See how his tail feathers and his entire body bend with such grace?
Look how flexible he is! What does "Namaste" mean?

So, now you know everything about me.
I wake up in my sleep sack.
Or Taj's sleep sack.
Or Raj's sleep sack.
Then once everybody hears mom wake up,
We all rush to the bars of our Habitats and
stand on our hind legs WHEEKING! 
like we have never been fed, EVER!
Mom always says, "Let me make my coffee,
you squeaker-wheekers, c'mon! Please?"
But we don't.
Cuz that's just how we roll.
Right now mom is pretty weak so we gave her
a break but not before we had her feed
us breakfast, refill all our fabric hay-troughs,
refill all our food bowls (since I take up
all the room in the Mahals, they have to
eat out of my weensy-bowl!) Ha-Ha!
Then we nap.
Today mom had enough energy to
share my life with you and she is SO EXCITED
she told us I am already receiving fan-mail!
When her migraine goes away she is going
to bring me into her bed all soft and cozy
and read it to me. I feel so special!
(Cuz I am, hee-hee, little me.)


Taj: "Raj, are you going to include your latest
adventure with "mini-you?"


Raj: "No."


Taj: "Guess you don't want anyone to know that  mini-you tried to hump you but he was so little he couldn't even reach his front paws..."


SQUEEEE! SQUEEEEEEEE! SQUEEEEE!

WHAT?

WHAT? Like YOU  don't eat hay?
Oh, Puh-LEASE!

See Vinny Eat

I love sitting in Raj and Taj's food bowl to eat. 

Sometimes Taj wheeks: "Whadda-Whadda-Whadda?"
and it makes me laugh as we stumble and tumble
all over ourselves in a 3-Pig-Feeding Frenzy! Raj
adored me at first sight and is teaching me every-thing he knows while Taj still doesn't know what I am. Our HABITAT is really MUCH BIGGER than it looks in the picture plus we STILL get to go on runabouts and I race like a speeding bullet, turning corners like a short-track Olympic speedskater. I love being me and I love living in my Forever Home with Raj, Taj, and mom. It makes me happier than I ever felt possible!

But sometimes I just like quiet.
To eat out of their bowl, not mine.
My bowl is little, like me.
But theirs has more food to make
me BIG! I'm just a baby boar now,
but watch how fast I grow!
I love you.


(for close-ups, just press my photos, but I am still
going to be little...for now...and the best pics are yet to come!)

SMILE!

Really cute animals! - YouTube

^^^There's even guinea pigs!

Concealed in Darkness, Raj Hatches a PLAN!

My beloved Fairy has been emailing more about Taj being on the magazine cover than about my beautiful, bi-colored lower lip, the stunning coronet atop my head that I wear like a Royal Crown when mom combs it, and my beautiful long, flowing tail-feathers...What would it take to win Fairy back 100% I wonder?

OH! I know, I'll consult with Herd Chieftain YumYum, the Elder! He knows EVERYTHING.

We'll get Taj, and I'll win my Fairy's heart back 200%! Yes, sounds like a plan! Now, to emerge from the shadows into broad daylight whistling like a cavy in a ripe, resplendant, organic vegetable garden...appearing as if nothing is wrong. Yeah, sounds like a plan!

VinnyGuinea: The Littlest PiratePigPrankster There Ever Was!

That Taj! Feeling so hot since he been on the cover
of Guinea Pig Magazine...now that Raj had brought it to my attention that Taj is squeezing in on his romance with Fairy, I must take ACTION! And everybody knows that YumYum is NOTHING if not ACTION!
(heh-heh! and mayhem, and trickery...)
PIRATE PIG EXTRAORDINAIRE, THAT'S ME! 
Action, Chaos, Frightful pranks on uppity herdmates...all with love, mind you, 
all with - mu-AH-ha-HAAAAAH: love! (honest)

Er...what's this in my food bowl? Anybody?
Hello? Uh, it's moving...my food bowl's moving and...


I am not happy!
My Breakfast is ALIVE! WHEEK-WHEEK!
HELP! 

I know my assignment is important...just too small to remember exactly what...I...am supposed to do...
Right-O! To blend into the camoflage of Taj's sleeping tunnel so he never suspects I am here.

Can you see me? No? Perfect! It's easy when you're a wee scamp like me, colored with soft, velvety fur like my Best Friend Raj who looks just like me...I AM SO HAPpy....shhhhh.......can't see me, right? Right? Can't see me, right? Right? This is lonely, though. I need my Raj. Baby-Vinny-Guinea lonely...

Although that was so much fun eating and playing in Taj's food bowl.
Hope my next assignment is even better! I like it here very, very, very much! 
(Cuz these is some CrAzY *** PigZ!) You didn't hear that. You don't even
see me. Crazy *** PigZ, hee-hee...

Raj takes me, VinnyGuinea, to the herd Chief, Commander of our Pirate Ship "MAYHEM" to receive my first real orders, so Raj comes along since 
I am his Mini-Raj and this was His and YumYum's Idea to begin with...we convene a "Joint Session of NONSENSE" guaranteed not to serve EVEN ONE
of our constituents. SQUEEEEE! I so love politics!

WHAT HAPPENED? One minute all fame and
fortune and even - kinda - had Fairy's attention.
Now things are different & I don't understand.
Something keep'n me awake at night, racing through my tunnel here, hoppin' & poppin' with glee

as I try getting my beauty sleep... And what on EARTH is that thing I found this morning moving about, munching & crunching in my breakfast FOOD BOWL!? Holy Owl-Hork!

i miss fame.
fleeting, fickle, fame.


(Raj, YumYum, & VinnyGuinea giggle together...
Quietly. Very, very quietly.)

RAJ'S "MINI-ME" CRASHES SUPERBOWL TAILGATE PARTY!

We've been getting the place ready...
GO GIANTS! GO LITTLE PIG!

Super-Bowl just over a WHEEK! away...
AND MOM BROKE THE COMPUTER SO WE ARE KEEPING HER IN BED...WAS LUCKY TO GET IN THIS POST OF...
MINI-ME!!!! (Who conveniently fits quite
nicely in the palm of her hand, snuggles her to sleep, puts his front feet on top of her hand to sniff the wind, and lets her pet him until they are both so calm you can here a Baby-Wheek snoring.)
YOU DID NOT SEE THIS. GOOD NIGHT.
(his name is VinnyGuinea but you didn't see that either, or the part about him looking like me, following me everywhere, imitating everything I do, playing hide and seek, popcorning, and scooting like a streak of lightning through our tunnels whilst we nap: he driving Taj crazy wanting to cuddle with the famous Cover Boy...ALL THE TIME! (hee-hee, got ya Taj, got ya GOOD, DIDN'T I?)
love,
Raj
WE WERE NOT HERE.
