3 Live Cavy Web Cams and Blog, Guinea Pig Website - Happy Cavy

SQUEEEEEE! HAPPY CAVIES, HAPPY CAVIES, WE LURVES HAPPY CAVIES!

We lurves the "#1Kitchen Cam" BEST but dem cavies hadn't figured out how to pull apart their "hay thingy" yet, while we done ruined...last count, mebbe SIX already, two different kinds?

Yeah, baby, DAT's what we iz talking 'bout! 

When I pulled the front off mine, the hay tumbled right outta it, so I  made myself

a bed, like a manger, y'know?  Likes it even better than my cuddle cup, cuz when I is hungry, ain't gotta do nothing but turn my head and shove m'snout into the "hay manger" then chomp! chomp! chomp till I a happy cavy, too!

And with my spine fusing, mom figures I does it cuz it easier and feels better...
This spondyInklee-osis, I is working IT!!!


Who loves ya, baby?
YumYum, whose hay don't look nuttin' like them Happy Cavies,
but it makes ME Happy!

Calvin and Mom...

...are asleep until further notice: Until we ready for fresh treats. Until we ready for our bedtime HAY-down! Until we ready to play in our Runabout pen. Until we ready to chew Rat-a-Tat-a-Tat-Tat! on our water bottles in the most annoying non-particulate rhythm...until we snatch mom's earplugs!

For now they can sleep, but only because we let them! Yes, we are kind and forgiving piggies...
full of love.~


"What's that? They're ready? EGGCELLENT!"

CALLING ALL PIGGIES TO THE WATER BOTTLES,
YOU MAY NOW COMMENCE USING YOUR CHOMPERS
AND TONGUES TO PLAY "REVEILLE! FULL VOLUME,
I REPEAT FULL VOLUME!"

Oh, PUH-lease! Nobody said we wuz good piggies!
And nobody EVah will!

UH-OH! Mom having Visions of Grandeur Again! - Everybody HIDE!

It goes a little like this y'all. And it ain't pretty. Mom gets migraine. Draws silly pictures like she's channeling some kinda mythic Neanderthal cave child with clay crayons from Lauscaux! o.k. Then she stops drawing and screams (grabbing her hair as if gonna pull it all out at once) "Incoming! Need PAIN MEDS!" then she starts shrieking until they kick in and then she pulls out her fancy books, which are quite lovely. Then she shows us her "art" and then shows us how the books explain why she is such a genius. By this time we know the meds have really kicked in 'cuz she be droolin' on her fancy-schmancy books 'splainin' to us: "seeeee, i gonna use this pain for good:
me draw pretty one day!" before FACEPLANTIN' SMACK INTO THE ICEPACKS lined up on her bed. The books fall off the bed and we gets to thinking...

"If the fancy-schmancy books are within nibblin' distance...uh, oh, nothing!" that would be wrong.

"If her 'drawings' are within nibblin' distance...uh, oh, nothing!" (but that would be less wrong - possibly even Righteous!)

OOPS, GOTTA GO, she wakin' up: RAJ MAHAL WUZ NEVAH HERE!

Calling all HAPPY DANCE Music Stations...

LOOKING FOR THE MOOSE...

WHEN THE ART-I-CANE SWEEPS THROUGH, mom pulls out every bit of salvaged paper, bark, string, and whatever we haven't eaten, paints, folds, glues, and sticks it all together because she needs to get her mojo flowin' again. Everything in these salvaged from the forest floor after our 100 mph + windstorms except the stuff she found somewhere else. She colored the paper by throwing paint into a sink full of water, throwing paper into the sinkfull of painted water, then smashing it all up, then folding or rolling or crinkling or doing whatever she needs to keep us from finding and eating it.

Mom, it real nice but where the BEWILDERED MOOSE? Or...might that be...?

Oh, nothing, gettin' too close to dinnertime to go there!

ORDINATION OF A GizzlHOOdle!

Once Duke ordained us piggies "official" Hooligans for eating our cardboard houses
(like, who don't do that?) lil'Giz wanted in and we all agree that wid a face like his,
he a DEFINITE Hooligan! Mom wants to brush and groom him, probably use our
flea comb and infect him wid our mites, so DON'T LET HER!

CONGRATS, LIL'GIZ, YOU IZ A HOOLI-SUMPIN' NOW! We is barrel-rollin' wid glee!

"Adopt-A-Piggie" Works In Progress

Dear Friends,
We remain hard at work on our "Adopt-A-Piggie" cards
in between buying piggie treats, washing and chopping and feeding piggies,
playing with piggies, cuddling piggies, piggie Runabouts,
Piggie Sleep-A-Thons with mom,
cleaning piggie water bottles and refilling them
cleaning piggie food bowls and refilling them
cleaning piggie cages and refilling them
cleaning piggies and not getting squealed at!

So, just imagine! You can simply "Adopt-A-Piggie" by purchasing cards
and not get to do all the other fun stuff!

Right now we are preparing for the First Friday Art Walk here in B'ham
where ARTISANS gallery sells non-piggie cards and drawing/paintings
then it's-a-gonna-be-PIGGIE TIME!
Can't ya just feel it in the cool, Pacific Northwest breeze?
(was that wrong, all you melters? We didn't mean it.)
OF COURSE WE MEANT IT!

Mixed Media Moose

A long time ago in a place far, far away where there was plenty of room to throw hand-made papers from around the world all over the floor, and a BIG bathroom where lots of glue and paint could play together, we used to have "Mixed Media SMACKDOWNS!" and mess up the place real good creating wall hangings strung with hemp on bamboo poles to hang up all around...above the jaws of paper-eating little monstrous's likes us! This is a close-up of part of a wall hanging about a bewildered moose. We think it was subconsciously autobiographical but would never whisper a word of it to mom! We just think Moose's expression looks somethin' familiar and all the stuff above him...kinda like the floor in her "studio" and her with that "HUH? HOW DIS ALL GET SO MESSY?" face.

...Just Sayin'

Calvin Goes EXPLORING!

Mom said my skeleton is as delicate as glass...gonna hide. Don't wanna hear!

Hmmm, this interesting: Like an explorer! Gonna climb in and see what's about!

Hey, this the perfect spot for an Explorer with a skeleton made of glass!

Think I'll just cuddle in, do my "Pig In A Blanket" routine so mom with lay down next to me.
Then wrap me up with her hand snuggled next to my nuzzle! And quietly we shall dwell together.
No talking, only the sound of one piggie purring. Nuzzlin' mom.
Yeah, Life Good when
you is Calvin the small in your Special Blanket!

We have been struggling with how to get rid of the flies

breeding in the kitchen because mom hasn't always kept

the kitchen sparkling clean, you might say...so it isn't the

fault of the flies, why kill them because she don't clean the

kitchen? So, she decided not to kill, cleaned the kitchen,

removed the screens from the windows, and invited them

to leave and fly free...

Some have. Some, not so much. Some died. In the coffee cup.

(and if it was the last coffee in the house...and mom really

wanted coffee, no, of course NOT!)

We found this video for mom. Now she feels better. And is

doing a much better job keeping the kitchen clean.

But mosquitoes, not so easy!

We are her Little Buddhas. Although, because of his lust

for stealing Raj Mahal's treats (after he has grabbed his

own and hidden them in his pigloo) we may rename

Taj Mahal the "GimmePiggie" since he has not renounced

FOOD SNATCHERY. We feel certain he never will. He

enjoys it too much. And mom gives Raj more anyway.

So he feels like it is his contribution to mom and Raj,

to teach them non-attachment. WE DOESN'T BUY IT!

But we acts like we does.

The GimmePiggie...what would Buddha do?
