GUINEA-VINNY: GROWING UP AT LAST...


Is it morning yet?

 
Must be, our little Olympian is already at
work, training for his Yoga competition.
Yup, they're gonna have Yoga as a sport
in London and Vinny's trying out...
but he has ulterior motives and we all
know what they are.



 
Coach Mom has me on a strict athletic
diet so I can stretch, strenthen, and defy
the laws of gravity with gravitas, dazzling
fans from all over the world, especially
my little Fairy!


SIGH...
 
OOPS, MOM WANTS ME
TO FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS!

 
My black foot is my "lucky one" and
I CAN already HOP ATOP MY
TWO-DOOR "BIG BEN CASTLE TURRET"
WITH EASE AND MOM LEAVES HAY
AS A REWARD FOR MY EFFORTS!

 

WELL, I HATE TO SAY IT, BUT THE
GUINEA PIG FORMERLY KNOWN AS
LITTLE VINNY-GUINEA CAN
NOW REACH
THE TIP TOP OF HIS CAGE! TONIGHT HE
EVEN SCRAMBLED INTO A SQUARE FERRET
HOUSE MOM HAD HANGING UP BY YUM-YUM'S
HOUSE DRYING OUT BECAUSE IT'S WHERE
YUM-YUM SLEEPS AND IF YOU CLIMB, YOU
MIGHT THINK OF IT LIKE A BIVY-SACK, WELL
SHE WAS MEDITATING AND HEARD A LOUD
RUCKOUS ONLY TO FIND VINNY HAVING
ACTUALLY LEPT INTO THE FERRET HOUSE
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET FROM
THERE TO POLE-VAULTED THE REST OF 

THE HEIGHT SCRAMBLING WILDLY INTO
YUM-YUM'S CAGE! 


IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME...
(UNTIL MOM HAS TO GET A TOP FOR VINNY'S
CAGE) WHICH SEEMS A POOR REWARD
FOR SUCH DEDICATED EFFORTS JUST TO 

REUNITE
AND GO HOME TO HIS PRECIOUS FRIEND,
YUM-YUM. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYONE
MORE DETERMINED  JUST TO GO BACK

HOME
AND LIVE  HAPPILY EVER AFTER 

WITH THE FIRST FRIEND HE EVER HAD?
VINNY-GUINEA DESERVES BETTER.
BUT IT'S ALL UP TO YUM-YUM...HE
SURVIVED LOSING CALVIN, BUT NOT
THE REST. 
LET'S HOPE BEING A YOGI IN THE OLYPIGS,
FLYING INTO THE STADIUM IN THE POCKETS
OF 007'S FLIGHT SUIT WITH FAIRY, AND AND
WINNING MEDALS WILL GIVE VINNY THE
*|* HE NEVER GREW AND CONFIDENCE
THAT COMES WITH HAVING A FREE PAIR
OF BOWLING BALLS THAT GIVE ME A
CERTAIN "SWAGGER" LIKE AN OUTLAW.
sweet dreams.

TAKING CARE OF MOM NOW THAT I'M A BIG BOY!

 
Now that Calvin's gone, mom needs a piggie
to snuggle in his blanket with her when
she's feeling, as the visiting nurse put it,
"unable to gain Altitude."
So, I sleep with mom now, but keep a
watchful eye because we can sleep with
our eyes open, didya know that? Ya, true!

 
HOW YA DOIN' MA?


 
DON'T GO FAR...
(ooooh!)
CRASH! CLANG! POW!#!
"WHAT THE - #$@!"


MA, Y'OK?
ANY SEWING SCISSORS 
INVOLVED?
MA?


"NO SCISSORS, SWEETIE, JUST A
LITTLE, WEE BIT OWIE AND YOU 
DIDN'T REALLY NEED THOSE...
UH...NOPE! ALL FINE.
GOOD."
("What the bloody hork WAS THAT ON THAT FLOOR?!")


love you ALL,
Vinny the Strong, the Faithful, the Protective
and those other clowns popcorning like crazy
in their cages having fun while I do all the work.
Which I love to do, as you can see,
just Mommy & me.

BHINDI STATES HIS CASE FOR RABBITUDE, 2012

 
Bhindi's the name and look how looooong
I can be...longer than a bunny rabbit,
longer than a guinea pig, even!


 
See these ears? They're still growing and by
next year, who knows? Right? Ya know?
Not like VinnyGuinea's floppy Dumbo
ears that bounce up and down when he runs!


 
See? I looks like a bunny, eats like a bunny,
stretches like a bunny, growing bunny ears,
soft and furry-licious like a bunny...
don't ya just want to scrunch me up?
When mom does I stick out one foot for
her to hold while I roll over on my side
for belly scratches and then stretch and purrrr....
Bunnies don't do that, do they?



 
Fuggetaboutit then! I loves being a big,
fluffy, long, soft, swirly, guinea pig who
popcorns, goes out my ramp when the
Magic Green Leaf is on it beckoning me
to my freedom, and treats are hidden
in all our favorite places,
BEING A GUINEA PIG FOR EASTER
IS GREAT! AND TOMORROW WE
CELEBRATE WITH PANCAKES
AND RUNABOUTS AND WATCHING
MOM DO YOGA AND GIGGLING
AMONGST OURSELVES TAKING
BETS WHICH POSE IS GOING TO
BE HER EASTER SURPRISE!
(heh-heh, said I loved being a guinea pig,
but I never said I loved being a good one!)
EASTER COFFEE FOR ALL!

I FEEL GOOD! My guinea pig Popcorning - YouTube

I FEEL GOOD! My guinea pig Popcorning - YouTube
^^^PRESS ABOVE FOR
WONDERFULNESS!
Today our new plush extra-large tunnels arrived!
A strange, very strange thing happens to piggies 
when they get new cuddle cups, fuzzy huts, sleeping bags,
tunnels...they don't runabout POPCORNING ALL OVER
THEIR CAGES, they insist on POPCORNING INSIDE
THEIR NEW TOYS! Wanna see? Just watch this happy
piggie who is just besides himself with "Feeling Good!"


We have switched things up here in our routine here,
too, but more on that later. For now, may everybody
FEEL GOOD ON EASTER JUST SAVE THE POPCORNING
FOR AFTER THE SUNRISE SERVICES!


LOVE YOU ALL AND FEELING GOOD FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP IN OUR LIVES!

MAY YOU ENJOY A BEAUTIFUL DAY, AND KNOW WE LOVE YOU, TOO!

007: "Fairy, I don't like the way that turtle is 
lookin' at you...following you...shall I intervene?"

Mr. Secret Agent, are the rumors true?


007: "Not if they're secret."


Fairy: "The ones where You'll be receiving your
orders directly from the QUEEN to fly in by heli then parachute into our packed OlympiG Stadium with me, Vinny, Bhindi, Marigold, and YumYum all tucked into your one-piece, 
tight flight suit 
(except for Marigold's pocket) to Inaugurate the OlympiGz but nobody knows about it eggsCept us because our pockets have to be custom-sewn with security clearance by the Queen's Very Own barista?"


007: "Fairy, would I do something that grand without you, my dear? As for the rest, they are
simply there to accompany you to your seat and protect you from the Queen's 5 Pembroke Welsh Corgis and 4 Dorgis (corgi-dachshundundrrrsss crossbreeds.) Would you like to know their names
over coffee if your mum and dad and Marigold
would host me, darling? I could bring along some fetching James Bond films..."


Fairy: "I'm sure my mum and dad and Marigold would...
sigh...love to...sigh...have you...
OVER. I mean, have you over, I mean, yes,
of course, yes, consider yourself invited, please,
and bring any films you like (OR STAR IN... 
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!)"
