"TWAS LIKE A DREAM SO LONG AGO...

 
Posted by Picasa

A winter month in the Pacific Northwest can seem like an eternity when every day
is garbed in varying shades of gray...light gray, dark gray, drizzle gray, full-on
rain gray, ice pellet gray, before snow falls gray, wake-up gray, go to bed gray,
foggy gray, gray for no particular reason, gray for every conceivable reason, gray
to get people to buy light boxes, gray to make people simply want to hibernate...

There is only ONE TRUE antidote and this is it! Go High! Find y'self in the Mountains
coated with white powder, fresh mountain air, the sound of stellar jays, ravens, the
elusive white ptarmigan...

The Mountain! WE Shall return...if we ever get well, climb out of bed, and remember
what day it is...SNOW DAY, MOUNTAIN DAY, LATTE DAY! HERE'S TO "THE RETURN & MAY IT
BE SOON!"

Awwww, Would Someone Hand Me a Tissue, Please?

 


Tonight the gang and I watched Mel and Sydney's owl box and they
were all kissyFace and beaking and grooming each other and it made
me wonder whether I will ever find my own true love, as they have?
Usually, all I care about is food, running about, chasing Raj out
of my Pigloo, tumping over the food bowl, drinking the water bottle
dry, and whistling a shrill, loud soprano squeal in my unmistakable
voice...but watching those two love-birds tonight made me start to
question my life: am I missing out on something?

{EDITOR: "NO!"}

Aww, O.K. SO, CAN A PIGGIE GET SOME HAY FOR BEDTIME ALREADY?

BREAKING NEWS: MAC NUT PIE DENIES ALL CHARGES!

 



As we wait patiently to find out whether or not our precious little Coconut is preggers with MacNutPie's mini-pies,
MacNut denies all charges of infiltrating off-limits areas!

"I SAW HIM DO IT!" said Raj Mahal in a recent interview.
"Me, too, I saw him, too!" added Erica, Coconut's best friend.
"I'M HUNGRY, CAN WE JUST HAVE HAY?" demanded Taj Mahal.

Stay tuned, because we don't know what a preggersPig looks like,
but have been informed they become "pear-shaped" and so far,
well: if it looks like a pear, and it walks like a pear...

sigh...that's just what we need around here: BABIES!

Charges have not been filed until alleged "break in" has been
found true or false.

"But MacNut better keep it in his pants!" warned one onlooker.

Will someone please make him some pants? Thank you.

When mom volunteered at Woodland Park Zoo, these guys were among her
fave-O-faves and now there are two more in our world! Severely
endangered, no longer wild in Egypt, they are truly fun to watch
and they never fledge and fly away, like the owls, they only get
bigger and more fun to watch...we loves them Egyptian Tortoises!

Guinea Pigs dig this sort of thing!
