HUBBLEpIG DISGUISED AS BEAR ENJOYING CITRUS DROPLETS

Posted by Picasa

WHAT KIND OF PIG, YOU ASK?! AND WHY HAS HE STOPPED EATING SO SUDDENLY? WE HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS!

WE INTRODUCE HUBBLEpIGS:

Note Bear's sudden, introspective demeanor: Any other guinea pig would be tearing into his fruit! But a HUBBLEpIG will stop -

EVEN DURING BREAKFAST! --- yes, even during breakfast,

To receive the newest transmissions from deep space, billions of light years ago, hinting which direction astonomical humans ought gaze to
find the ORIGINS OF THE UNIVERSE.

After which time, our HUBBLEpIG will resume munching on his
juicy fruit before napping cozily on his favorite, warm blanket.

PANDApIG OUT: FAR OUT!

MEET LOLA, QUEEN OF THE FOREST!



Dear readers,
from time to times we enjoy introducing you to new friends and Lola is definitely one! Just look at that face!
Mom met Lola and her dad and her dad's friend on her Walkabout and discovered that this precious Havanese puppy not only lives on a boat but loves to run so fast down the ramp before leaping into the air and onto the boat that her dad is seriously considering buying her a cape!
But, on this particular day she was ecstatic on terra firma, staking her claim with admirable aplomb. We salute Lola and her Dad! WE 3 GUINEA PIGS and  mom unanimously wish you both Happy Sailing when you head north to Alaska this summer on your boat, Lola's cape flowing majestically in the tradewinds while orcas swim merrily by.

BEAR ASKS FOR POGA CLASSES! - Seattle, Washington | Local & Regional

This yoga class is going to the dogs |

Dear Readers,

We love our Runabouts. We run, we popcorn, we scamper, we slide (on the kitchen floor if we run off the towels and pretend to be skating) and we play with all the boxes, toys, and hidden snacks mom puts out on the floor for us. When working as a volunteer at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle she learned all about "enrichment" and we enjoy enrichment specific to guinea pigging!

Yoga we do not do.

Mom does yoga.

We watch mom do yoga.

We watch mom do yoga, relieved it is not something guinea pigs do.

This news story has done nothing to change our minds, and

if you have guinea pigs, we hope it does nothing to change yours.

If you have dogs, enjoy yoga, and are a crazy-person, we hope you
enjoy doga.

WE ARE NOT, NOR WILL WE EVER BE, POGIS!

PANDA PIG OUT!
(NOTE FROM EDITOR: The opinions shared by PandaPig do not reflect those
of every guinea pig
living here at PandaPigSanctuary.
YumYum has been squealing "NAMASTE!" at the top of his lungs
all day - so enjoyable, while Bear the Beaver Pig has been practicing
 forward stretches to reach hay
stuck in high places.)

THE PERFECT DISCIPLE

While visiting Chin-Sun-Kitty and her mom today, we discovered Chin-Sun has a disciple so humble we have never met him. Or her.

"Mom, can you find out?"

"No problem, PandaPig."

Meet The Perfect Disciple: humble. quiet. unobtrusive. never seeking
attention. serves with loving devotion. open, affectionate, kind face.
dressed simply. not materialistic, content with pretty green ears and
hand-painted brown flowers, orange eyes always seeking to serve with
a gentle smile. horns like a giraffe, and tail hanging gently down
towards earth; yes, earthy and modest. Childlike and innocent.

With enough faith
to stand
perilously close to the edge of  am's kitchen countertop
without an
ounce of fear. Wears a beautific expression of grace:
this perfect disciple!

VENERABLE CHIN-SUN KITTY

her chin
