Got my hay order. It had some brown but when I took a good look the brown is normal grass (which does turn brown when it dries). Its all soft and smells AMAZING. The boys love it.

Maybe I'll order some more, then. They were totally unimpressed with the Oxbow Orchard Grass and didn't even seem all that enamoured with the Kaytee timothy hay. (They're eating the latter right now anyway and yes they are eating it just fine.) I think I spoiled them with fresh grass all summer... :P

Got a really cute video this morning of Bubble and Squeak and a tunnel. (It's like they knew I needed to laugh.) I'll try to get it uploaded and post the link tonight if possible.

Okay.

So Sandy died in the night. Here she is Sunday evening:

You can see just how poorly she was doing by then.

This morning I snuggled Batman and had a cry, and he gave me kisses as he licked up my tears. I know it was just for the salt, but it made me feel better anyway. He's always been a kissy boy.

At some point this morning, I noticed that I could only see one guinea pig in the brothers' cage.
Image

Bubble is smart, but he's not smart enough to get out of that cage. Not yet, anyway.

Closer investigation revealed the following:

(Yes, that is a guinea pig bottom sticking out of the end of the tunnel.)

Image
(That's his face.)

Happily, I had the presence of mind to capture the following video, too. Squeak is a little turd.



(Batman's rumbling along the divider throughout. He's... confused.)
