SO MUCH HAPPINESS, RAJ IS AIRBORNE!

Dear Friends, In Guinea Pig lingo, what you see here is referred to as "Popcorning" for obvious reasons: there's only so much pure joy a little one can have before gravity ceases to exist and his GLEE-filled body becomes airborne in an unusual expression of PURE BLISS, HAPPY FEET, AND THE "DANCE OF WHEEK!" So, never underestimate our capacity for happiness, as it is equal to our capacity for love...and then some! (O.K. he is really practicing for his audition on "Dancing with the Stars" but until our beloved Apolo comes 'round with some better moves, we don't see him packing his bags for Hollywood any time soon.) Not to mention that if he even did have bags, he would just eat them!

Who loves ya, baby? YumYum, THAT'S WHO!
( P.S. MacNutPie DID GIVE HIM A "10" just in case you wondered.)

Are YOUR teeth this white? I thought NOT.

Pound for pound, tooth for tooth, I come loaded with personality and know what the wimmin'pigs want: pretty, white teeth! I am Taj Mahal and I approve this Message because it's the message of TRUTH: the Girl-I-Pigs love me and mom's teeth aren't even near this white (coffee, coffee, coffee!) So, love me, play with me, brush my beautiful Abyssinian swirls, and just inhale the fragrance of my vegetarian musk aroma...yes, I really AM "All that and a bag of chips!" Just don't hate me because I'm beautiful. We are sure you have some nice characteristics that make you beautiful, too. We blurred the picture to keep me humble. Still: check out my chompers! Are they not the bee's knees, I ask you? Of course they are, so good night. Love, Humble Taj Mahal the Magnificent

JAPAN: Animals Near the Fukushima Plant

Dear Friends,

Please consider taking the time to read this

compelling story - first reported by Anderson

Cooper - about the true HEROES of animal

rescue, who are risking their lives to enter the

radioactive zone (now rated on par with the

Chernobyl disaster) to rescue animals left

behind.

Thank you.

And thank you, Anderson Cooper, for breaking

this story of courage, heroism, humanity, and

self-sacrifice on behalf of our little brothers and

sisters, the "forgotten ones."

We salute you all.

YumYum

Meet Our Newest Friend!

Here at PandaPig'sPeaceSanctuary we have a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy and even when a guinea pig comes into the herd who is...shall we say...different?...we accept him just the way he is! Although we may need a taller cage for this one...not to mention, what's with the tail? {EDITOR: "YUM-YUM, what is our policy here?"} FINE! We do not notice his tail. So, please welcome our newest arrival and feel free to send name suggestions which will be judged by a Secret Judge and then voted on during Molly Movie Night and the winner will receive the entire Encyclopedia Britannica from 1964! Oooh, Baby, baby!

Do NOT have stolen food in my little hands! How DARE you?

GizMomma caught this little guy in the act but was too sweet to do anything other than capture his quizzical expression for the rest of us to enjoy! Thanks, Linda, we can all relate...'specially cuz when piggies get caught we have no defense other than our Invisibility Cloaks. And mom keeps going: "YumYum, I STILL SEE YOU!" How annoying. We may need new cloaks, think your Squirrel does, too!

A brief, precious, sweet Message to The Tribe of SchM'aGooglites: LISTEN UP!

Dear SchM'aGooglites,


As we approach Passover, please bear in mind how the Egyptians
were smitten (smitten real good, I tell ya!) when Pharaoh refused the
demands made of them by Charlton Heston, former President of
the NRA,  to "Let Our People GO!" You gonna mess with an APE?


Have you young billionaire tykes never seen the awesome epic,
"The Ten Commandments?" or whatever it was called. 


So! You refuse to connect Google to Blogger, you continue to
defy the Guinea Pig Nation with your impertinent indifference!


Which insults us! We may be small, mind you, but so was that
slingshot with which David slew Goliath! We are small but be
forewarned: The Guinea Pig Nation of Blogging Cavies plans
a potlatch meeting in the War Tent as we approach these
Holy Days, SACRED for so many...


And if ever we have felt ignored, insulted, belittled, minimized,
bullied, pushed over, slighted, THESE BE THE DAYS!
Your condescending indifference of our Need To Blog vexes us,
we are confused...it has been a month! You think we have nothing
worth saying, nothing worth showing? Hmmmm...well, mom has
come home (O.K. she had a headache and never actually left!)
BUT! let's say she has come bearing our Guinea Pig BIG-BOY 
PantZ which we are puttin' on while issuing forth this ultimatum: 
FIX THE alleged "Broken Link" you admit exists between Google,
Picasa, and Blogger...
OR BE SchMITTEN! ("Smitten" to you goys out there.)


oh, and puh-LEASE don't throw any of that "What happened to all 
that "non-violent - Be Kind to All - stuff?" we espouse so earnestly:
Ever consider that we write after an indescribably foamy latte with just a 
sprinkling of vanilla and subtle hint of cardamom, ever think of THAT?
Or, maybe we should print a retraction: Be kind to all beings with the
NOTABLE EXCEPTION OF -


{EDITOR: YumYUM?!}


"FINE! Mom, just writing thank- you notes for all the Passover cards
we've been getting! No worries. You go on back to sleep. We love you."


{EDITOR: O.K. guess I didn't notice the Passover cards, note to self:
notice the Passover cards. How thoughtful of our friends to send them.}


Whew! Back to business:
SchM'aGooglites,
You take us for furry little fools?! 
BESIDES: We ARE kind... Kind of! 
MAYBE YOU ARE THE EXCEPTION, HUH?!"


Our line hath been drawn in the sand...O.K. in our cage-litter,
but NONETHELESS DRAWN! Do not underestimate the Power
of The Guinea Pig Nation of Righteousness for we know where the
locusts dwell...and if you don't fix things so we can start blogging pictures
of our magnificent selves STAT, EXPECT VISITORS OF THE
SEVEN PLAGUES genre...just sayin' we hope you like frogs...
GOOGLE you  dwell on your High Horse at MOUNTAIN VIEW, 
CALIFORNIA: WE HAVE YOUR ADDRESS AND SO DOES THE 
LOCUST KING! (and, just between you and me, he is NOT
an attractive locust, either... not to knock locusts, but ZOWZA-Wheeek!)
Wouldn't want HIM over for dinner. Knowing we WERE THE DINNER!


Have a nice day.
love,
YumYum


P.S. WE have our menorah handy and will be lighting one candle for each
night you choose NOT TO fix "The Blogger Debacle of 2011"...we're feeling 
kind of Holy, Righteous, and DECIDEDLY in the mood for a Regime Change in
Silicon Valley!


Thus, YumYum hath spoken!

"You look funny sideways but I LIKE it!"

I see the world a bit differently now...
