"Who can know what effect our smallest acts of kindness may have on others? Perhaps the most important contribution of Mother Teresa, who serves the most destitute and neglected, is that she instills in those who have been abandoned the realization that they too are loved." ~ Sant Darshan Singh Ji Maharaj ~ Panda Pig's Peace Sanctuary exists so that abandoned, neglected, sick, and dying guinea pigs may experience that they, too, are cherished and loved!

"THE GUINEA PIG LADY"
Our dear friend from India inspired mom
to get us our favorite "special dessert hay" full
of dried dandelion flowers and other yummies
so she packed up "her car" and off to the Farm
Store where she actually returned without any
new rescue piggies for once!!! Yeah! No sad
piggies were there. More hay for us!
Our special hay is in the blue bag and the other
thing is a $3 cardboard thing with drawers for
art supplies since we are "getting organized"
HA! HA! HA!
Right.
Mom is known by First Responders as
"The Guinea Pig Lady" from when the walker falls into a pothole in an intersection, throwing mom and our hay everywhere, and when the ambulance comes (last time they were just a block from home because the farm store is just three blocks away downtown) Mom "comes to" hollering: "WHERE'S THE HAY? WHERE'S THE HAY? PLEASE JUST TAKE ME HOME! MY GUINEA PIGS NEED THEIR HAY? IS THE HAY HERE? WHERE'S MY HAY? PLEASE JUST...WHY ARE YOU TAKING ME TO THE HOSPITAL WHEN MY GUINEA PIGS NEED THEIR HAY? WHERE IS IT? MY HAY, MY HAY!"
And she wonders why they insist on taking her to the hospital!!!
(but they take her hay, yes they do!)
love,
YumYum, Vinny-Guinea, Bhindi, and Peter-Peanut

WELCOME OUR RUSSIAN FRIENDS!
Dear Russian brothers and sisters,
We have noticed many of you read our
blog and want to extend a personal
HELLO! We guinea pigs don't know
how to write Russian so we hope you
will accept the love as we feature

SHORT TRACK SPEEDSKATING
ICE IN SOCHI! Looks good to us!
Edwin spent his time at the Vancouver
2010 Olympics with members of your team
and if you go back far enough on our blog
you may even recognize some of your friends!

BACK TO THE OLYMPICS or "MOM'S EPIC FAIL!"

"JUST DO IT!" - style skatin' time on the Ice!
She and Edwin had been speedskating before anyone in the world even knew, much less cared about the obscure sport, but thanks to American Gold Medalist Apolo Anton Ohno and his EPIC CRASH (wasn't his fault, tho!) during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, short-track speedskating rapidly gained popularity for its resemblance to Human NASCAR racing...following this crash, a bloodied, tattered, battered Apolo dragged himself across the finish line to claim Silver while an Australian that Edwin met and hung out with in Vancouver 2010 (who was SO far behind the pack that he missed the crash entirely) quietly glided to a Gold Medal he knew never really belonged to him. Well, Apolo got Silver, the Koreans issued death threats (even though they caused the crash from #1 position) and the world fell madly in love with short-track speedskating!
Mom and Edwin's skating coach drove feverishly with no tickets from Bellingham to Salt Lake City to watch and next thing they knew, mom and Edwin were participating in a famous sport!
{TO ENJOY MORE, THEY JUST STARTED UP A U.S. SPEEDSKATING BLOG LISTED TO YOUR RIGHT,
APTLY TITLED "SKATE LEFT"...JUST CHECK BLOGS WE FOLLOW FOR MORE CHILLS, THRILLS, & SPILLS AS THE ATHLETES BEGIN TRAINING FOR THE 2014 WINTER GAMES IN SIBERIA!}
This morning mom pulled out (not her skates, too sick today) but she did pull out Apolo's autobiography given to her by Edwin, entitled Zero Regrets. (They've hung out together a bit, too, Apolo being from Seattle, but that's another story.)
Mom opened her book for inspiration to keep from feeling kinda down and read the inscription by Apolo to her, SQUEEEEE! which is really cool, before her eyes moved down to the inscription written to her from Edwin, in green (because Edwin thinks he's a leprechaun or something):
TO MY CHANA
FOR PUTTING THE WORD
"SLOW IN SPEEDSKATING!"
YOU TRULY DESERVE THIS BOOK.
~EDWIN
(WHEEEEEK!)

Ear Nibbles?!
Why, yes we have, Yum-Yum,
most mysterious, indeed!
What could it be? I get
foggy-brained just
wondering about it.
Nibbles gives me Giggles,
Not to mention hair-muss-upz!
Well, mom, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS!
What is it, Yum-Yum?
Mom, it's EAR-NIBBLIN',
PIRATE~STYLE!
AND I, Yum-Yum, have evidence to
back up my claim to the Prize for
solving the mystery. See, whenever
Bhindi and Peter Peanut eat breakfast...
Watch them act all nicey-nicey, and
particularly take note of Bhindi's
"look of innocence."
HA! FAR FROM IT!
He's moving in for the
BIG EAR-NIBBLE!
Well, ain't that the bees knees?! How'd
ya crack their little secret?
MOM! You think I was born yesterday?
I TAUGHT IT TO THEM!
Oh, right, right.
Haven't you noticed the same thing, mom,
that when you go in to give scritchy-scratches
to one, the other one rushes in and next thing
ya know there's a little squeal and a jump?
Yeah, guess I never thought of it that way
but they both DO want to be scritchy-scratched
at the exact same time and I've only got two
hands and I always wondered...
Guess You Still Da Man, Yum-Yum!
MA! ALWAYS WAS,
ALWAYS IS,
ALWAYS WILL BE!

"I love life!" he says.
Why?
Watch and find out.
"You go through some storms in your life and you don't know how long those storms are going to be..."
"I don't need hands to hold her heart."
Well, he already has ours!
(thanks to the blog listed on the right here titled: "Inspirational, motivating quotes..." for this one...it's a real BEAUTY!)

Waiting for YumYum
It's not a "man-crush" just that YumYum
is my best friend and while he sleeps in
his pink sleeping thingy this is where I
wait with devotion for when he wakes up.
And then I follow him up and down his
cage and we rub noses through the bars.
Really, if you ask me, I would love Fairy's
sister, Marigold, should I ever take a wife.
But with the OlympiGz coming up the
air-space is now a No-Flies Zone, just
like our kitchen...er...is.
So, for now, I just lay on my hay and dream
a little dream.
Love,
Vinny-Guinea
