Dear Fellow Guinea pig lovers,

First of all, Corrine condolences with the passing of peppermint! You
write that Peppermint was all white, only her paws, ears and nose are
dark, with pink eyes. That sounds just like my Dunya, she is a
himalayan pig! I think Peppermint was one too! I also loved reading
your tribute.
As we all think we should not have favorites I think most of us do
have them. My Lotje and my boyfriend Erwin used to be each others
favorites. Erwin was devestated when she died. I was too, but I was
kind of expecting her not to make it, because she didn't perk up like
she used to do. Whereas Erwin just did not want to see that it might
happen... My mother thought she would ask Erwin what to do if it went
wrong (she was pigsitting them for a few days), and he said that it
would not go wrong and she would pull through. When she told me that
it was very clear to me Erwin had not seen Lotje dying coming.
Unfortunately I had this bad feeling about it, and she had better
asked me the question. She however thought I would not be able to cope
with it. Of course I still dreaded it when we got a call from her...

Right now I think Guiny is my favorite piggy, i've almost had her for
5 years and eventhough she is deaf and definitely getting older, she
gets by just fine. and I hope she will keeping do that for a very long
time. She has grown from this little scared guinea into a dominant
"queen of the cage" cuddle bug. She will lie contentedly on my lap for
hours, unless if she has to pee then she gets restless (she hates
peeing anywhere else than in her cage). Erwin does not really have a
favorite piggie right now, and still misses his girl Lotje. But Dunya
was very sweet to him yesterday licking his ear...
Does anyone else have 'potty-trained' piggies? Woopy's turning into a
real character! She got restless yesterday on daddy slave Erwin's lap.
He put her back in the cage and she started pooing! What? our girl
does not just not pee on us, but also does not want to poop on us?
Wow, I did not know that's a possibility!
She also did the cutest thing. In general I think she still thinks us
people are scary. But she starts to like being petted. I was petting
her and then I started petting Guiny and Dunya who where at the other
side of their cage. All of a sudden Woopy sprinted to the other side
of the cage (where I was petting the girls) and started looking a me
like 'pleeaase, pet me some more!'.

I realised there is not really a SCAMPS page yet, am I right?
Since my guiny is approaching the SCAMP age I thought it would be fun
starting a SCAMPS page, just like the LAPS page. Can anyone let me
know what the exact requirements for becoming a SCAMPS were again?
Also anyone who has a SCAMP send me their pigture and a little story
about them, of course include age and name.

Grtz Mikey and the Winky girls:
Guiny, Dunya and Woopy
p.s. we are working hard to get the next Play online!! Coming soon!
I hope it will bring a smile to your faces, with so many precious
piggies going over the bridge recently..
Our Guinea pigs M and Glynis can expect the page soon...
