Piggies

I was sitting on the "Guinea Pig Couch" with Mika and Astro. Mika was eating the food mix while Astro snacked on carrots and the one thing he'd do anything for... homegrown organic parsley! I was balancing the parsley on my leg when Astro jumped up and stole the biggest piece! He gobbled down the piece in ten seconds then looked for more. He then started snacking on carrots and foodmix. I was holding the parsley in my hand high so that the piggies couldn't get to it, I was relaxing and just as I thought I was fine and the pigs wont get to the parsley, who jumps up but Astro and he got the parsley! No more for that little rascal. Astro could smell parsley on my hands and stretched his neck back to , but he couldn't find any parsley! :P I then put my head down to piggy level and had some fun, I was being still and the pigs didn't realise that I was there so it felt as though I was some sort of camera. Both pigs came up to me and had a good sniff each but didn't realise it was me. They brushed past me and I could barely supress a laugh because it tickled. I had barely stopped myself laughing as Mika tickled me with his whiskers when I moved my eyesight and saw Astro'slooming figure just infront of my eyes. That made me jump up in shock. I made the pigs jump and they got tired and waddled up to me. The pigs then snuggled up to me and fell asleep, Mika doing constant jolts of purring. Now they are yawning and Mika is purring even more! (If that is possible! :P)

More Cuddle Sacks

I made some more cuddle sacks today. This time they have a thick roll so that they can stand up with out getting held open. It took around two hours to make including measuring and I made two so an hour each. The roll is made by breaking and stuffing a pillow (old pillow that is already ruined :P) into the cuddle sack. Check out our cuddle sacks page if you want to purchase!

This is a adorably cute video of Mika and Astro wandering further into the doom of the cuddle sack! :P

Mika's bath

Mika had a bath today, he loooked so sweet! I was laughing so much, my mum sitting on the "Guinea Pig Couch" (an old sofa that is so usless no one cares if the guinea pigs pee and poo on it! :P) with Astro. Then my battery for my camera started dying on me! I couldn't afford to waste ANY time! (Yes, I did bath Mika on Saturday but that wasn't a proper bath, that was just to wash his little pee covered strands of hair by his bottom cleaned! :P) So I had to quickly grab my camera and took some cute photo's! :D

Here Mika is having the bath, playing around in the water! :P

Mika was getting wetter! :D (look at the soaked backside! :P)

A bird was calling and our little piggy was trying to see what it was but only seeing pink! :P (I know not the right colour for a boy!)

Mika is stretching his neck, and I think could just see over... 

and.... he gave up looking over the bath bowl and was checking out the camera! :) (as you can see he had a full bladder! :P)

Astro was calling for him and he was calling back! :P

Ah, the bath has finished, time to cuddle with a nice fluffy towel for warmth!

Look at that gorgeous face! Just needs to be cuddled and loved! :P 

Mika nearly fell asleep on my lap, until...

Asrro wanted to join in! :P As you can see Mika has turned his head to see his friend!

And here is the cute little guy you've all wanted to see! :P Astro was having cuddle time with my mum, I have been waiting ages to get a photo like this and now, finally!

Cute little guy! :D

Mika was looking so cute, nearly all dry! This was the last photo I had until I passed this little guy onto my mother!

Here my mum is having cuddle time with Mika while Astro was being a greedy guts and eating heaps of food! :P

Astro was getting jealus of Mika and was clambering in for a cuddle!

Mika is finally dry and my camera's battery nearly gone! Astro and Mika are having some fun on the "Guinea Pig Couch" with each other! 

Astro was looking at me and this weird black thing in my hands as I called his name. Cutest snap of him ever! 

And a better photo of the one above! :P

A bit of my own sewing for the pigs.

I put together my mind and work when I had some free time today and (with the instructions of an awesome person) made my piggies some cuddle sacks. I have an outer, colourful sack (the colours are really bland, just a deep blue! :P) and an inner plain sack (it actually is a white fabric nappie!) in the one sack, (sewn together!!) so that every morning I can go and tip out the poo's that collect at the bottom. Both are plain blue and I am going to sew an extra piece of material at the top so I can hang them up in the cages! The boys already love them, I could barely get Astro out after a couple hours of fun with them! Mika thinks that they are his only and squealed really loud when Astro went in and curled up! :P I had to seperate them both and put them in seperate cuddle sacks! :P I am feeling very happy about my work and altogether it took around 20minutes from start to finish! (including measuring!)

Goodness Gosh Mr Mika

I am very happy to inform you that Mika is so much better today with his foot injury. I think it still pains him to run for long periods of time but he IS going a lot faster and for a lot longer today. I am so proud to say "Goodness Gosh Mr Mika you have inproved and it fills me to the tippity top with happiness." He is still such a mischief maker at times but still I am so delighted that his foot has improved.

Mika's injury

Mika's foot injury is still not at the very best, I really think he could do much better, the fact that sometimes he doesn't even use his leg, only using his front ones to walk around is rather concerning. He really needs some real caring for and most of the time a good old break from Astro - his little hutch buddie.

















I let Astro walk into a cardboard box and he did not want to come out of it! :P
