LIFE IS WHAT HAPPENS...

We wake up with aspirations to climb High Unto Our Heavens on that perfect, sunny day. HA!
John Lennon summed up reality best when he said: "Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans."
Indeed!

Might as Well Mention...

While mom doin' all that meditating, we might as well mention that her art falls into categories of both "Outsider Art" and "Migraine Art" so she will be showing this book both to her neurologist and the owner of the new art gallery which, we just discovered, will be heralding it's GRAND OPENING this Friday Night during Bellingham's First Friday ARTWALK! She hopes to attend without a migraine. Lots of deep meditation mom, and play with us, it gonna all be good, we just knowZ it!

A Much Needed, Well Deserved BREAK!

Dear Everyone,

We have just been through a great deal of mayhem here at PandaPig's Sanctuary and have decided that mom needs to meditate more! So, we are giving her a break after she spends her entire Saturday drinking coffee while cleaning our cages, the kitchen, the house, doing the laundry, vacuuming, letting us each out on our respective RunAbouts, (we can only run with certain members of the herd due to us being BoyZ who ALL wanna Be ALPHA MALES and Coconut bein' the only girl; so Runabouts not as simple as they sound!) and we have a long list of "WE wantZ and WeWantZitNow" for her, too.

May take more than one day, one week, possibly gonna take her between a month and NEVAH
to accomplish everything on our "to do NOW!" list.

THEN...we pretty sure she driving up to Birch Bay to close her eyes. So, we may be offline until she opens them again.

Do good, be good, have fun, and keep the back light on for us~
WE'LL BE BACK. And we gonna get ya GOOD!

So, relax on your yoga matZ and dream of flying wing-tip
to wing-tip with owls on high, through deep blue night skies
filled with stars and WONDER!

Sincerely Yours,
YumYum

Guinea Pigs Find Better Role Model than a Pirate in SOOTY!

So Sooty went missing, only to be found after having burrowed into a pen of 24 females, creating 43 offspring, which so exhausted the stud that he was only discovered after caviary owners thought to do a headcount in the girl-pen and when it came up 25 instead of 24, where was Sooty? Sleeping!

WE FORGO PIRATES FOR SOOTY AND HIS DARING-DO!

Now, amongst us, the only one with his cajones still intact is Calvin...anybody see that happening?

"....dur...uh...ooh, not so much..."

Anybody else want to chime in?

Calvin: "mom, will you snuggle with me under my fuzzy blanket?"
"Of course, dear."

SOMETHING TELLS US WE HAVE LITTLE TO WORRY ABOUT.

GO SOOTY!

P.S. he only went missing for TWO NIGHTS!
DOUBLE-GO, SOOTY!

PSSssssT! Hey, Calvin, Hear the News?

YumYum and Calvin the small, good buddies, share the secret that Coconut and MacNutPie have decided not to have a Pirate-themed wedding after all.  Normally, they would chase one another around and around with joy together, our senior and newest herd members, but YumYum has a reputation for showing the "new kids on the block" who the Alpha Male is when mom's back is turned; so until he mellows out and experiences a RAPTURE,  Calvin and Yummy still have to share gossip and hay between their little hamster fence...turning out they's the most gossipy pigs we ever met, though, who knew?!

Well, when the world wakes up to the news, everybody gonna know!

Sincerely Yours,
Raj and Taj Mahal tattlin-- NO! telling you a story, sharing.
(Note to Self: yeah! sharing! good one...sharing.)

EVERY NIGHT...

Every night Calvin the small gets all bundled up in his special warm, fuzzy fleece blanket for bedtime stories and
snacks with mom. They lay in bed, Calvin in his blanket, mom under the covers, until mom is almost asleep, and
Calvin already IS asleep with mom's hand usually under him or holding his bum or snuggled beneath his long,
tubular snout...he fusses because mom wakes him up when returning him to his cage but soon settles back down
into his cuddlecup while mom returns to hide under the covers with the memory of his warmth soothing her to sleep.

While Their Owners Sleep...

...nervous little Guinea Pigs prepare for their day. Nice job with the white-out, Jerry!
And that looks exactly like our kitchen: How DID you know? LOL!

P.S. if you ever visit The Great Pacific Northwest(ern Washington State) nevah,
EVAH call it an EXpresso machine! Or an EGGspresso machine, you birders out there.
To our utter mortification, a person visiting from Eugene Oregon did that and thus,
to this day, we have NEVAH, EVAH visited Oregon.  Nor will we.

Thank you.
P.S. also we don't use umbrellas, which we call "bumbershoots" dunno why, really.
Oh, but you CAN wear un-matched wool socks with sandals in the winter.
Dunno why, really, dreadful on men. They betta already be married cuz only
a banana slug would date THAT. And mo-

YouTube - Etta James - At Last

While mom at the art gallery sittin' in her little chair at her little table

this EPIC iconic jazz standard came on and mom just grooved on it

until the owner looked at the cards in astonishment, asking mom:

"Is that your signature?"

"Yes, is that Etta James?"

And it was Good.

Enjoy the incomparable Etta James.
