[Gpdd] MISC: Humorous true story

[Lynn Williams]

Hello all my much loved gp friends,
I've had so much bad stuff to post lately, I just had to post this story to 
you all.

My stepson gave me an Amazon gift card for my birthday last month.  So, I 
was perusing Amazon for something I couldn't live without.  Of course I 
found it.  A pair of sterling silver guinea pigs earrings.  They sound 
adorable and I can't wait to get them.  So today, Earl and I were in the 
kitchen, taking care of Callie and giving her her meds and sachets and food. 
I told Earl, "I am going to order some guinea pig earrings today."  There 
was this dead silence that followed. Then, I swear to God, he said "How are 
we going to  keep them on her?"  I just about wet my pants laughing.  Poor 
Callie!   Can't you just picture it?  I needed that laugh.

I spoke wwith Ann today and she had me start Callie on the sachets. 
Luckily, I had some left from when Eve had a UTI.  She also told me to get 
her off the kale as it is full of minerals and we want to keep her washed 
out right now. So, it is back to green leaf lettuce.   This is exactly the 
opposite of what the vet told me but I trust Annn's word any day.  We just 
weighed Callie and she has gained almost 2 ounces today.  For those of you 
in the world of metric measurements, that is approximately 57 grams.  So, I 
am  pleased about tthat.  She also had me put her back in with her sister 
instead of keeping them separate.  I take her out every 2 hours to feed her 
and give her the sachet and her other meds.  But, I think they are both 
happier with being together again.  I had them separated because Eve eats 
everything in sight and I was afraid Callie wasn't getting enough food. 
This will work for the time being though.  Earl is going to have to play 
piggy gynecologist today.  Ann wants him to watch a video on how to massage 
and examine the urethra.  I think he has watched it before and I remember 
him doing it on Callie.  I have to give my husband credit.... he is awesome 
when it comes to helping me care for my girls.

That's about all the news for today.  I am still sitting here chuckling 
every time I think of the guinea pig earrings.  LOL

A note to Ann:  I don't see the link to that video in my mail.  If you have 
the internet capability, would you mind sending the link again?  Thanks so 
much.

Hugs, love and whisker kisses,
Lynn, Callie & Eve with Sammy, Tabby & Penny the guide dog at the bridge and 
in our hearts and memories.
