Here's a wee post in memory of Gimli Pig, our guinea pig, who passed away yesterday. My daughter and I caught Gimli and his brother Scruffles back in 2019 in the reserve by our house, where someone had abandoned them and the rest of the family. It took us a couple of days, with help from several neighours, to catch them all.
Gimli and Scruffles ended up living in our lounge, while their mother and another young one went to one of my daughter's school friends.
They were the first guinea pigs I'd had. In general, they're ridiculous animals, with a surprising amount of personality. Gimli would weep excitedly every morning when I peeled a carrot for my lunch, as he and our rabbits would get the peelings.
Gimli outlived his brother by a year and chummed up with our rabbit Firecracker after she outlived her sister.
He lived a long and contented life, and we appreciated his company.

somehow realized it's been 25 years since I tried making a 3d game. Linux on a K6-2+ with a voodoo banshee card, all the openGL triangles and quads done by hand with graph paper

Fediverse, I know this is Catland, but do you have any guinea pigs to look at? I like them taters

A very deep rabbit hole led me to this table of #GuineaPig sounds and when they make them. Very disappointing not to find pictures of guinea pigs in this very serious academic paper.

So, you might *think* you know all your cat's secret stash places.
But then you might also find 5 years worth of cat toys hidden when you're breaking down your dead guinea pigs cage because apparently Lily was leaving Pikelet tributes...

I popped in to the vet this morning with a bunch of stuff* that was Pikelet's and that I don't want to go to waste. They're a small vet clinic, owned and run by women with mostly all women staffing it. They're amazing, and we're so kind and caring on Wednesday when I took her in.
I chatted with Bernadette, who is the vet the dogs see. She said she was sorry to hear what happened, and sorry that she hadn't been in on Wednesday when it happened.. and that it they'd gratefully take the bits and pieces I was dropping off. Nobody there has guinea pigs, but she said they get them in as patients fairly often and she'll happily pass on the food and treats to a client as a surprise gift.
I still have to break down her cage, but I don't have the energy or emotional capacity to deal with it today.

* -a pile of disposable pee pads
-a big bag of Origins Cavy food (which is the top line food for guinea pigs)
-a bag of timothy hay treats
-some coffee wood chews -

Me, petting Pikelet:
Don't bite me, don't bite me, don't biteOW!Be nice! We're going to see other guinea pigs on the weekend, don't make me trade you in!
(she doesn't actually bite that hard.. she nibbles while she's getting petted and gets carried away)

Oh no! I was stopped from folding laundry because my daughter needed someone to baby sit her guinea pig while she cleans his enclosure. How horrible, I must now snuggle him and not do my laundry. #guineapig
