Quick question.. Please reply to my personal email as well as on digest
mode: Crazy4Cavy at buckeye-express.com

Last week I found out I had gotten strep throat from my chitlins.. Rob found
out he had the flu.. He had most of his worst flu symptoms at his parents
house last weekend.  We stayed away from the cage, besides walking by it to
get to the kitchen or computer room.. etc.. (No piggie kisses stinks!) Every
time I needed to feed him, I washed very well with antibacterial soap.. My
worry is that now that my strep throat is under control, I think I'm either
catching Rob's flu or something else at school.. I didn't go to work on
Wednesday or Thursday due to my flu.. How well do the piggies tolerate our
sicknesses?  Should I maybe take him to my mom's for a while until we can
get over our illnesses?  It's awful damned frigid outside.. so I don't want
to put him through that if I don't have to.. Poor Brownie looks at me when I
just walk by his cage with an "I Love You" and he's like "Momma, where are
the kisses and the pets??"

His cage needs to be cleaned today.. It's really stinky.. I wish I had a
surgical mask to put on my face so I didn't breathe on him!!  Thanks for
replying..
