Lesson No 2 (Revisited) : Don’t listen to breeders, they don’t know best!
When Gordy became a lone piggy I thought that getting him a friend would be a great idea. I saved up for a bigger hutch for them, a roomy (so I thought at the time) two story hutch.
On a cold January morning in 2001, my parents, sister and I packed up in the car and trundled off to the breeder, thankfully for the last time!
With a bit or persuasion from the breeder, who obviously had £’s on her mind, and not the guineas welfare I came away with 4 guinea pigs. Yep, 4, in that one hutch.
As you already know from Gordy’s story their living didn’t go too well, so I’ll skip the sad stories if that’s okay? I would still like to introduce them all and give you a little history into all of their wonderful, different personalities.
Here’s the few photo’s I have of them all together, taken after I just got them. Their names were Gip, Tyson, Rodney and Magpie. 10 points to whoever can work out who’s who!

While you're working out who's who, I thought I'd put in a little intermission and introduce the new lady who wandered into my life in 1999.
After we lost Fawn to cancer we decided to get a new dog, and found this lady in Blue Cross rescue centre. She was approx 18 months old, and had been put up for adoption with her identical brother, Spot, as they were unwanted farm dogs.
I remember seeing her at the centre, running from one side of the enclosure to the other, bouncing up the walls and barking. She seemed a bit wild. But, as soon as she came out she was a totally different dog.
After we passed the home check we went to pick her up, and she did a little waggly dance for us, and peed on the rescue centres floor! She was so excited she slept most of the way home in the car.
This picture was taken about 5 years ago on a walkies. She had alot more fur on her ears then, and a lot blacker face (she's an old white face now)
