The piggies went for a swim

It´s cold here in Sweden, but the piggies decided it was time to go for a swim anyway…strange animals…

Some of the pics got blurry, sorry for that.

Give me my cucumber

Taped Friday morning with my new Nokia N95. Unfortunately I see that youtube makes the picture quality a bit crappy.

Gucci sitting

I just wanted to share a photo of Gucci sitting.
It isn´t a very normal position for a Guinea pig, but she did not seem to find it uncomfortable.
Note: No one was holding her. She managed to do this by herself.

I´m in love

Sojokoo

It’s not much of a start in life – you’re born in a zoo, your mother starts sitting on top of you and… you’ve got continual hiccups.

That’s exactly what has happened to one tiny colobus monkey. To add insult to injury, the little lady has been named Sokojoo, which means ‘hiccup’ in the Mandinka language of Gambia.

I am in love with this monkey. It´s one of the cutest monkeys I have ever seen.

Gissa The Moviestar

A few days ago, we accidently filmed Gissa instead of taking a photo of her.

If anyone wants the video (4 seconds in mpg format), e-mail me.

Piggie says

Kiss

A few days ago, we took this pic of Piggie and Jessica and I´d say it´s pure love from Piggie: Mommy, I love you!

Something unusual

Something unusual happened today.

As you know, Guinea pigs have lots of different sounds like most animals. One of these sounds is singing. It´s sound that more or less sounds like when a bird sings.

The thing about this sound is that it is extremely rare. Some people, like me, will get lucky and hear it, while others may never be given that chance.
Personally, it was the third time in my life with guinea pigs that I heard it. For Jessica, it was the first time.

Ginnie sang for me 2 times. Jessica never got to hear it since she was away both times.

Today, one of our current piggies, Gissa & Piggie, sang. Unfortunately, we have no idea who it was since both were hiding under our couch.

Do not let your cats use the fax

I read this on Reuters

Two kittens picked the wrong place to relieve themselves when they urinated on a fax machine, sparking a fire that extensively damaged their Japanese owner’s house.

Investigators in the western city of Kobe have concluded that the fire in January was caused by a spark generated when the urine soaked the machine’s electrical printing mechanism.

You can read the rest of the story here but I think it´s time to really tell our pets where they are allowed to be and not. The cats were quick to run to a safe place and are ok.
