For The Love of Jenny Sue

Yesterday was a day that no pet parent wants to do. A day that had laughter but lots of tears. Please bare with me because I don't know if this will be a short post or a long one. 

On December 29th 2016, hubby and I took Jenny Sue to the vet and when we left she was wrapped in a her blanket that said "I love mommy, I love daddy" her body had no life left in it. 


We set our beautiful baby girl free.

WW- Keeping Guinea Pigs Exercised In The Wintertime

Happy Wheek Wednesday! 
With the weather here in Kentucky being cold, cold, cold, the guinea pigs wanted to talk about how they stay healthy and happy in the winter. Our piggies love to go outside when the weather permits.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow.

Happy Monday! I took the last few days off from writing on here but for those who follow me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter have seen that I have been busy posting photos of the snow. 

Snow makes me happy. Snow makes me feel like a puppy. I love snow!

Why I Use Instinct RawBoost Mixers To #Mixitup

Instinct photo and legal information
  A couple of weeks ago I told you about the Instinct raw boosters that we have been adding to our food. I really love to #mixitup. If you need a refresher of what I said, you can find it here . Don't worry, it will open in a new window so that you don't lose your spot.  

  I have had a few people ask us why we decided to try the raw boost mixers and how we came across it. I love the freezer meals that Instinct make and I love some of the canned food too. I like it put in my dinner. While we were on the search for a new kibble for Jenny Sue, ma picked up a bag of Instinct. It had the raw boost in with the kibble and it also was grain-free. We wanted to see if going grain-free would help Jenny Sue's IBS.  Ma quickly found out that I was picking the mixers out of the food but leaving the kibble. I am not a kibble eater.

BW- Molly Mew's Favorite Toy

One of the toys that Molly Mew got for Christmas was a Catit toy. It is a long curvy toy that has a ball inside that they can swat at. The ball goes back and forth with ease. 

Sunshine and Warmer Weather Makes Us Happy

  Yesterday our outdoor temps reached 59 degrees. The sun was shining and there were no clouds in the sky. Nothing but blue as far as the eye could see. Ma says that Scooby and I have been driving her nuts. I say we wouldn't drive her nuts if she got out of the house once in awhile.
 
   She told us that she would take us out as soon as she got the guinea pig cages cleaned. She put the piggies houses outside to protect them from the wind.Cinnamon was first to go out since he gets to roam free. He just stood there and looked around. He was shocked that he was actually able to go outside! Ma put his jacket on him to make sure he didn't get cold.

B/W-Hometown Statue in Owensboro Ky

Last month, ma and I went to downtown to pay the taxes on the house. We had to park on the street that was on the back of the courthouse and walk to the side to go in. Ma noticed a statue that she hadn't seen before since we normally don't park on that side of the courthouse.

We walked passed the bronze statue , paid the bill but when we came back out , we stopped to admire the detail of the statue.

Finding a Way To #MixItUp To Give My Food a Boost

I love to go to PetSmart. I could browse those aisles all day. I am as familiar with our local store's layout as the people who work there. There have been many times that ma and I have helped someone locate a product. Whether ma says we are there for the guinea pigs, Molly Mew or Jenny Sue's food, I can take her right to it.


When she says she needs to pick up our food, I take her right to the aisle that has Nature's Variety. I may not be a food expert but I am a expert on food that I like.

This is the last post of 3 of the products that we use that are made by Bayer® ExpertCareTM. In the first post, I talked about the moisturizing shampoo. My second post talked about the SpotOn Moisturizer topical solution. I had mentioned the eye lubricant that we use on Jenny Sue and wanted to tell you more about it.

What Is In The Piggies Playhouse?

Guinea Pig playhouse
No Catz Aloud! 
With the weather turning colder the guinea pigs can't go outside. They are used to going out for 15-30 minutes a day to get fresh air and exercise. Since the temps are not safe for the guinea pigs, we make a area in the front room and we all get to play together. This area is set up with tubes, boxes , fresh veggies and of course kitty toys. We all have a good time playing and the pawents gets plenty of laughs.

The piggies love the boxes but Molly Mew thinks all boxes belong to cats. I think she has more fun playing in the boxes than guinea pigs do. The piggies walk around cooing their guinea pig talk going in and out of the boxes and tubes. Molly Mew likes to get in the boxes before they do.

Its just a way we keep boredom away and the piggies get their exercise. They seem to be very happy with all the play. When they go back to their cages , ma leaves the boxes out a little longer just for Molly and Scooby to play in.

How do you keep your pets entertained when its too cold outside to play?

Happy New Year 2016

It is the start of 2016 and that means a fresh start.
 I want to thank you, my readers for being there for me in 2015 and previous years. I hope you stick around for 2016 because I have many things planned for a better blog. 

I took a couple weeks off of writing while ma recuperated from her fall, the crazy busy time of Christmas and time was taken to spend what little time we have with sissy Sarah while she is home from college. Now it is time to get back to writing!
