ART'S ON FIRE

 
Dear Everybody,
VinnyGuinea here keeping mom company in my sleepsack on her lap. She can barely see or type. She drew this a long time ago.
She has Traumatic Brain Injury and it acting up bad. Tomorrow a
social worker coming to see if she can get in-home care and bathtub bars and disabled stuff installed, so she can live here but with safety of a nursing home with a person coming to help, too.
This taking forever to type. Lotta caregivers coming every day
so no worries, they not leaving her alone! 
And you know we all being good.
But she can't email. Or think. Maybe draw. And breathe.
On a good day. And drink water. Eat. Like that.
We know you understand. 
Lot of talk of traumatic brain injury these days.
Nobody knows how bad it really is unless you got
it or living with someone who does. She can't count money.
But it don't stop nobody's heart from loving.
THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW!
LOVE,
VINNY-GUINEA


P.S. we know you love us and will want to email beautiful cards to make mom happy but she having hard time reading and understanding right now and cannot answer so please send
cards via 
"cloud-kisses"
Thanks!

GOOD MORNING!

DEAR FRIENDS,
I am now being called by many names such
as Bhindi-Swirly-Shark-Fin 
or, if Edwin is here,
"Mangosteen"
and it is becoming confusing.
Mom just calls me Bhindi Shark-Fin,
feeds me, scritchy-scratches me
especially on my snout and then
I stretch out, roll over on my side,
kick out one leg and she scratches
my tummy, then she can call me
whatever she wants but by then she
is giggling because I roll and stretch 
out and purr and run through all my
tunnels just sticking my snout out
for treats and scratches.
But my swirls are growing into whorls
and my, well you know, man-parts
are growing into bowling balls
and mom is thinking I should join
a league and -
Oh, that's a metaphor?
For what?
Good night, mom.
Get some rest the next few days.
The rest of you are invited to scratch my snout.
Especially Fairy!

Wanna Little Almond With Your JOY?

 
Little Almond JOYOUS looks like she is
growing into a big girl and CD3 (who goes
by many other names such as Pixie) has 
"socialized" little Joy and Millie Bea so
fast we are amazed as both came from
pretty rough beginnings. Vinny does not
seem to be growing at all but we love him
small and speedy and silky-smooth 
while Bhindi...
(HOLY HORNED OWL HORK!)
and today after a nice brushing which
he purred through while munching his
Romaine lettuce, YumYum reminded
mom that he sure IS STILL THE ONE!
(And the nail trim was rescheduled.
According to YumYum, "until NEVER!")
IS THAT APPLAUSE WE HEAR?
INDEED.
WHILE WE ENJOY TONIGHT'S WINTER
STORM WARNING #!@#$%^&*!

AND HIS HAREM & ALL OF YOU DEARS

YOU'RE STILL THE ONE!


My Dear YumYum,
With all the new kidZ on the block you might feel like you haven't been receiving as much attention as you used to. And I know this year has been harder on you than anyone. Because you were there. And you grieved the most. Especially once you all came home and it kept happening. That's why we got you VinnyGuinea, thank you, Aunt ConniElfPie. Then we got you BhindiGuinea. Now you have two friends and you aren't lonely, you're still the alpha male and, by the way, YumYum, YOU'RE STILL THE ONE!
                              Will you tuck me in tonight?
It's getting late and we really should be getting to bed...
Sweet dreams, piggies, YumYum will be back in a bit. No worries.
Love You.
Gratitude Infinite.

Life According to Millie Bea

 
MY NEW SIS JUST GOT HER OWN
DREAM HOUSE AND I AM SO
STARTLED!
EVEN THOUGH I WAS HERE FIRST
IT FEELS SO GOOD TO HAVE A
LITTLE SISTER.
SHE JUST KEEPS STARTLING ME!

Almond JOY!

 

WHEEEEEEEEEEEK!
Our dear friend, CD3, who has now adopted
her second rescue JUST got lil'Almond Joy into 
her dream house last night, where Joy wheeked
to her friend, Millie Bea describing how happy 
she was to be next door where they could at least 
sniff and rub each other's noses and squeal to 
mom for breakfast (all day!) and CD3's Bruce got
to see Joy popcorn for the very first time!
That's what we love about these Midwest Guinea
Habitats:
they are long, expandable and can even be
connected to one another for more space, including
dividers to separate food and poo areas 
and ramps to run over with all sorts of
variations for fun, although really "poppy" (or 
disabled pigs like YumYum's spondylosis)
prefer one flat playing field across which to
race like race horses, especially through cozy
tunnels and two-door castle-pigloos and 
cardboard boxes with lots of big doors and...
it's just too much fun and now CD3's got it, too!
CONGRATULATIONS, ALMOND JOY,
YOU ARE FINALLY HOME.
YOU ARE FINALLY LOVED.
YOU WILL BLOSSOM.
AND NOW YOU AND MILLIE BEA
ARE MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILY.
WELCOME, DEARS, WELCOME!

Our Next Door Neighbor, George

 
 
We all know how annoying the paparazzi
can become after awhile, I mean, Fairy, 
especially you, with the press everywhere
like in the movie about Fairies, no privacy
to just be you, read to your meecies, play,
hang out with Marigold...make inventions...
watch "The Vicar of Dibley" with your mum
and Dad...well, George has his moments, too.
So, everyone thinks he has this big villa in Italy.
He has a big Villa.
It's just...shall we say without saying too much...
not exactly in Italy.
We are his refuge, in fact as we write someone
is playing bagpipes. OH, IT'S ST. PATRICK'S
DAY AND GEORGE IS IRISH! CLOONEY!
WHAT WERE WE THINKING?
OF COURSE!
A PINT OF GUINNESS (non-alcoholic,please)
FOR OUR CELEBRATED NEIGHBOR!


LAH FHEILE PADRAIG DAOIBH!
(to one and all!)

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! CANWE*CANWE*CANWE??????

 
WEATHER ALERT FOR BELLINGHAM: SNOW!

Dear Fairy, mum wrote to you because
she'd only had ONE SIP of coffee not
one CUP and thought you had missed
my entire post about...well, i'm still
so liddle and shy, but...(you) and so
she's gonna have breakfast, but she
was wonderin' if, if, if...well,
the same thing, too?
maybe?
she wants to make a "Big Mavis" though.
In the shape of a Baby Beluga Whale.
Could Ian and his Giant Shovel help
her move it to Lincolnshire Park
by the swingset, perhaps right
behind the swings (that was her
favorite part, she laughed so hard
she couldn't stop laughing!)
Nobody will know what I am
talking about because mom only had
one SIP!
She better have breakfast now...
(she just can't stop giggling about
the swings!)
OH GOODNESS - THIS IS TRUE -
AN ENTIRE MARCHING BAND
IS MARCHING BY AND WE
DON'T KNOW WHY!
THEY MUST BE CELEBRATING
(us?)
