[Gpdd] misc: dunya's weight and peter gurney books

[Penny Charlesworth]

I would not worry about Dunya's weight if she is otherwise healthy. She 
looks wonderful in her pigtures. Now that she is in a settled home with lots 
of love and treats she should soon put on weight naturally. When she becomes 
brave enough not to need to hide in her cage she will eat more. Your weight 
conversion is OK. I like the GuineaLynx weight conversion chart because I 
only understand pounds and ounces and find it useful when people are 
discussing their piggy's weight.

I love all of Peter Gurney's books. As I have mentioned on more than one 
occasion ( please forgive me dear digesters!! ) I rate his Piggy Potions 
book highly. It has lots of home remedies for illnesses and practical 
information on recognising them. His "Proper Care of Guinea Pigs" is 
excellent, even if you know everything about piggies already and has loads 
of wonderful pigtures of piggies that he owned.

As you write such excellent English, you will have no trouble in reading 
them.

I love to see all of your's and Janneke's pigtures. Thank you for sharing 
them.

Penny and the Piggyfriends.
