....add a couple of guinea pigs.   One of my girls has a birthday this week and for the last year has been adamant that she wanted guinea pigs, so because I wasn't allowed pets as a child (boo, hoo) we now have the guinea pigs, the greyhound, the cat (our other cat passed away a couple of months ago) and the fish (other fish died in the October hols - we're having a bad run of it).   You're wondering why I'm wittering on about guinea pigs now - it's to do with the guinea pig in greyhound's mouth incident!!   Forgetting that JJ (dog) was kipping in the same room, I went into the cage to adjust the water bottle - next thing JJ has a guinea pig in his mouth and is wondering what to do next.   To his credit he dropped it when I yelled "leave it".   JJ was ejected from the room pronto, guinea pig caught and thankfully found to be none the worse for her unusual experience.   In fact, the gp was probably less disturbed than both me and JJ!   So, with JJ eyeing up the cage from his bed and the cat sneaking in to try and sit on top of the cage, life is a lot less boring!!   I suppose they could live in the garage but I might forget all about them if they are out of sight so thank goodness for the water spray...
