Now that we’re about to leave our house-sit where one of our duties is to look after six guinea pigs, I decided to do a bit more reading about them. I was left detailed instructions and did read more what they could and couldn’t...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382412) • Rockingham, Australia 9 May 25

I managed to get a photo of the four little guinea pigs. I cleaned out their hutch this morning and gave them new bedding so they are happy little pigs tonight. They are much more vocal than I imagined and squeak and chatter away...

Uno spent the afternoon with us

The photo shows the cat from over the back fence. His name is Uno. His owner works away week-in, week-out and when he is away, Uno gets lonely and comes to visit. He is more friendly than the two resident cats which we hardly ever...

The guinea pigs didn't like being segregated

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382412) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Apr 25

The photo doesn’t have anything to do with the text but is a tribute to Austsralia’s Light Horseman. ANZAC Day is nearly upon us. It’s an important day for Australia. I haven’t got all my photos back yet. I wrote a while back...

We need to accept other customs and cultures

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382412) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Jan 25

I sort of promised to write about this but I hope it doesn’t upset too many. Remember, I’m just stating facts. The fact is that, in Peru, guinea pigs are considered a delicacy. They are known there as ‘cuy’ and have been a part...

That's the statement of some people who heard about getting clinical trial vaccines coming from Russia. Some one here already claimed about getting one from Japan but it was quickly disputed that there wasn't assurance. It's...

Guinea pigs

Linda Mansfield (Snowdrop) @sprite1950 (30461) • Corsham, England 14 Aug 19

I love my guinea boys, they all have such unique characters and remind me of children the way they hate sharing and squabble over food. Many people are not fond of them but some are so tame that their owners let them wander about...

Today I learned that in Switzerland, it's illegal to keep just one guinea pig. If you want to keep a guinea pig, you are legally obligated to adopt a second one. This is a strange law, to be sure, but one I am personally in favor...

I can't believe this is my first post of the day. I think it's my first post of the day... if it isn't, then I am having memory loss. It's been a busy day, which is why I have only had a few moments here and there to read and...
