[Gpdd] RE: VIRTUAL -- ON the ROAD / Meeting and Greeting the penny Giggles

[lisa.sharpcrew.com]

Fuzzy here.  Oz and Zoe are off introducing themselves to all piggies-they
are the socialites!  Me, I just like hanging back with my Wilson.  We were
thrilled when the Jolly Rodents showed up in that big RV. (Does that stand
for Rodent Vehicle?)  They are so sweet to come all this way south to pick
us up (but who had a choice...by beloved was driving!).  What a way to
travel!  So much room to accomodate all our new piggie friends.

I have to say the Strawberry smoothies are wonderful but my favorite (and I
didn't even know Zoe could cook) is the parsley and corn fritters she made
with crushed Kavli flat breads, Italian parsley and corn fresh off the cob.
YUM.

She's talking of making cucumber and carrot treats.  She's going to hollow
out the cucumber and shove a carrot into the center.  Then chop it into
slices...it sounds great.  I wonder if she'll give slave these ideas so when
we return she will make them for us at home.

I do hope the rumors are true and we will get to meet the famed George, the
Guinea Pig and ole' Ebe!  I love the Rumblestrut Blues and will love to hear
it straight from the piggies mouths.

Well, must go.  Wilson is calling me to taste another dish brought to the
table...I think I'll need to run tons of laps around the pig palace when we
return home!

  Wheeeek and Wake Fellow Piggers,

         For one thing, someone has actually let us take an RV! A very large
one, at that. Wilson did the driving, stopping to pick up Fuzzy (of
course! -- he drove like a gust of high wind to get to her front door) along
with Zoe, the eBay pig that Lisa took in and Ozzie.
         Anyway he was made a great many stops along the way to pick up
various guinea pigs who want to participate. He also stopped by the air port
to pick up those who arrived by air. I don't know how many of you have seen
Wilson in action before when it comes to driving, but he'll get us there
faster than any Hogwart's Express! Anyone wanting a picture of him at the
wheel, just ask! And this may be a more extended trip that we first thought.
         We hope that the guinea pigs who are here will take a moment and
introduce themselves personally. Snickers and Snowball came with us, of
course, as did Jenni's new guys, her Charley (named for the hurricane that
pretty much showed up at the same time that she got him) and Wolfi.
         Rumor is...happy pig here!....that Miss Cally may be among those
who arrived by air. I'm certainly keeping a sharp eye out for her and hope
she's doing the same.
         It looks like only Sandy with the boars, along with their wonderful
new adoptive parents that they will meet up with, will be traveling today
(Sunday) .  We'll have to wait to hear more about that.
         They (Jennifer and Adam) will meet up with Sandy and the boars in
either Oregon or Washington State. Sandy, (email:
oliverpoore at mindspring.com ) says she'll be driving a "rent a wreck"
vehicle. We already like her and her sense of humor. We're all sad though
that she has to be separated from her beloved Penny Giggles.
         However, if all goes well she will be keeping four which, of course
includes Wild Wooly Willy AMD his new wife. She also hopes to keep Sony,
(who he has a chronic abscess) and a funny little boar  called Squirt.

         Wild Willy is something of a champion, the Grand Poobah of the
Penny Giggles, but having been neutered at an early age and having no
progeny of his own, his brother and litter mate Bob Bob Black Sheep (named
for his salt and pepper coloring) is the crown prince.

         We are led to believe that there may be a ceremony with Wild Willy
naming his brother, Bob Bob for short,  as Grand Poobah North.

         But on with the early stages of the plan. Having arrived early, we
have been making strawberry smoothies with a fresh strawberry atop each,
with each served in an old and delicate but beautifully slightly pink
stemmed glassware. (We hope there is no reason for Alge to check out things
she's had stored away. Gulp.)
         Someone is making something peaches and creamy though I'm not quite
sure what it is. Smells and looks wonderful though. Actually, we have almost
a table full of food. Far far more than the Penny Giggles alone can consume
so we will all be helping with the eaten and drinking and celebrating in
general.

         There is a rumor going around that George the Guinea Pig, hero to
us all, may also appear to piggers only. Human friends and chaperones will
miss that, too, as with the Rumblestrut Blues Performance, although, as
we've said before, Snowball and Snickers will be visible to all and will
play some hot drums and guitar.

         Please piggy guys and girls -- post your experiences here too! We
want (need!) active participation in this hastily put together but sad
event. Still, it is a celebration!

  Mr. Cooders of the Jolly Rodents
