Best guinea pig ever
So the award for the best guinea pig ever goes to Homer. Neil was clipping Homer's nails and Homer has dark brown paws where it is hard to tell how far back the clippable part goes. He accidentally nicked a blood vessel and Homer was bleeding all over. But Homer is so sweet and easygoing he didn't even squeak. Right now we've got him wrapped in towels in half a piggy carrier on the couch enjoying a carrot snack for being such a good boy. When the bleeding stops we'll put him back in the cage.
People have asked me to go a bit beyond "ehn" to explain the job interview. It was fine. I did a good job, but I'm not sure that job is the right match for me. It would be a lot of talking on the phone and I might just be too naturally introverted for that. I'm sure something else will come up, and in the meantime, I still have a job and a paycheck.
Back to keeping an eye on Homer. Not that I really need to. He's such a good boy he hasn't even tried anything mischevious while he's been on the couch.
If anyone thinks they have a really great guinea pig, it's just because they haven't met Homer. He's the best. (Not that I don't love Elvis, Spike and Fudge. But Homer is still the best.)
