Anyone want to buy a defective guinea pig?
Since Homer died, we've had to spend extra time with the other guinea pigs to make sure none of them caught Homer's infection. Especially Spike.
Spikey has been fine. He's been eating okay and pooping up a storm. Elvis and Fudge are fine too. As normal as they ever were.
Fudge is irritating. Yesterday we had to clip his nails because on the front paws they're curling around a little. I clipped his back paws with no problem, but the front paws are always harder. Neil held him while I did the clipping. Right at the start, Fudge latched onto the diamond on my engagement ring and wouldn't let go. When he got tired of that, I turned the ring around so he couldn't grab it. So he latched onto my finger instead.
I have two vampire-style puncture wounds in the side of my finger because Fudge latched on and wouldn't let go.
I saw a documentary about a scientist who was trying to say that great white sharks aren't dangerous, and you shouldn't be afraid of them. He's a moron. Sharks eat meat, and people are made of meat. Animals can't be trusted. Fudge is a vegetarian, and he still tried to eat my finger.
