Hi Friends:
I got a call around 3:30 p.m. this afternoon from my vets office. A mother
of three children (all under the age of three) had brought in a guinea pig and
left him at the office. Apparently he was being mistreated (duh)! by the
children. Rachel - the vet's assistant knew just who to call - LOL. Guess
she knew I could not say no!
So please welcome "Zion" to the GPDD! He is a brown Abby - with a splotchy
crest like cap with a tan streak in it on his head! Quite a friendly little
fellow. Funny thing -- tonight he seems more relaxed than the rest of my
group! Guess he is relieved to be away from the kids! He was on that filler
cereal junk stuff -- so I am gradually going to get him on a plain timothy based
pellet. I gave him a small piece of romaine and apple which he gobbled up,
and I also gave him hay which he seems to be enjoying. His owner had him in
a very small cage with what looked to be yard mulch as bedding! He is in a
larger cage now and on Aspen. I have him in the hallway -- within earshot of
the others, but not too close. Zion had already been named, so he will keep
it for the time being -- he has already been through a lot of change. The
"plan" is just to foster him till a forever home can be found...but you all know
me. We'll just have to see what happens. At least he is in a loving
environment and out of harms way.
Piggy kisses to everyone- and Happy Mother's Day! After all - we all have
furry kids, but some have human kids as well!
