Winkle, our SCAMP/LAP piggy crossed over the Rainbow Bridge between 4:30 and 5:00 am this morning. He was not quite 6 yrs old. We cuddled with him through the night and I hope it made his passing easier.

Truth be told p and I should not go into pet stores together. But we did and fell in love. I would like to introduce the two newest members of our Critter Crew to ya all.

Buddha Bandit Bear

Bandit is very sweet. We spent the first five minutes of having him home chasing him down in the living room because as soon as I opened his little box and picked him up he did that thing that hamsters are famous for. He escaped. I did consider naming him Houdini but he told me that wasn't his name: he is Buddha Bandit Bear. He loves his wheel. We do need to get him a bigger wheel as he is MUCH bigger then Snipset and substantially bigger even then TippleScritch was.

Oreo Cookie Monster

Oreo has given Winkle a new lease on life. As the SCAMP (Senior Citizen Aging Miracle Piggy) in residence I think he was feeling very lonely and depressed. P had a flash of inspiration and introduced them - they adore one another. Winks takes his adoptive duties very seriously and Oreo is much happier for the company and friendship.

I had forgotten how small baby cavies are. He is adorable and he is constantly talking. Just like his adoptive dad! He clucks - which is hilarious. And he is quite the jumper. He can jump into the hayrack in a single bound! Amazing. Don't think that will last once he grows into the typical GP body.

TA DA! And there you have them!
