[Gpdd] ANNOUNCEMENT - Two to join the large piggies club and Cheekie's eye

[DebraStory at aol.com]

Hello and Happy Holidays to all of our friends at GPDD from Debra and The  
Story Piggies.  The Story Piggies also wish to announce that two of their  
brothers wish to join the "large piggies club".  Snickers weighed in today  at a 
whopping 3 lbs and 7 oz.  He is one big guy.  Snickers wants to  assure everyone 
that he is not fat, just one large, muscular boar.   Wheeeeek!  Checkers 
weighed in at 3 lbs even.  He is the youngest of  the Story Piggies, but he is a 
big boy!  Both would like to join the club  and send some wheeks of greeting to 
the other members.  Calico is still  short of 3 pounds, but he wants everyone 
to know that he is working on it.   Maybe with all of the Christmas treats, 
he will make it by next year.
 
All of us send healing thoughts and wheeeeks to the sick piggies on the  
digest, and best wishes to their slaves as well.  We hope everyone will be  
feeling better very soon.  Cheekie is still fighting an eye problem.   He has been t
o the vet two times already and has tried two different  ointments.  We have 
another call in to the vet today, because his eye  is still not healing up.  
Cheekie seems to keep scratching it with his back  nails.  This is probably 
keeping it irritated as well.  His nails have  been cut and filed, but they can 
still irritate a delicate eye when he  scratches.  Has any one had any success 
with trying to keep a piggy from  scratching an injury?  I can not imagine a 
cavy keeping a sock on his foot  or wearing a collar around the neck.  Any ideas 
would be greatly  appreciated.
 
Wheeeps  From:

Debra, Calico, Snickers, Lilac, Cheekie, Checkers, Princess and  Creampuff
