Hey people, I'm really sorry that I haven't posted at the weekend, I did actually start writing late on Sunday but I ended up not having enough time to finish it and publish it as I had hoped to. This post isn't completely different because I did do a post like this when I first started my blog but I realised that I hadn't done one for ages and I know I did promise you another post about them. It's about my guinea pigs!
If you didn't know, I have two guinea pigs - sisters - that I got about a couple of months after my 13th birthday. Yes, they are now both 1 year old since last November! I'm really sorry I didn't make a post about their birthday, I was actually thinking about it but then I remember getting really excited about another post and kind of forgot to make that post. That sounds bad. Oops. I hope they can forgive me, haha! Anyway, enough random talk, lets do this post!
So I know I introduced them in one of my first posts called Introducing My Guinea Pigs. If you want to see that just look at my oldest posts in 2014.
This is Lolly...
...And this is Caramel!
There is a story behind these two photos besides them both looking so cute. Basically, one of my best friends and I had them both out (at separate times) and we wanted to make it fun for them outside of the cage instead of just sitting in our laps and getting cuddled endlessly (which we were fine with doing but they got bored easily!) So we decided to put them on top of my beanbag (I have a new one now so this one is all theirs) and then we got a jumper and placed it over the top of it. They would both hide under the jumper like it was hide 'n' seek which was so cute. They loved it!
This is both of them around Christmas time, my Dad was trying to put up the tinsel on the ceiling just above their cage (it is on top of a small cupboard) and they kept trying to catch it. It was pretty funny to watch, with them stretching up as tall as possible to get it!
Caramel and Lolly trying (and succeeding) to eat through a big bowl of carrots and broccoli. We give them this as a treat because broccoli is their absolute favourite thing to eat. Whereas, for me, it is my absolute least favourite thing to eat. Everyone's a winner!
Um... Lolly, what are you doing to Caramel??
Bath time! (I just realised that Lolly looks like she was trying to escape... she wasn't, honest! Well, at least I hope not...)
Caramel looks less like she is trying to escape, which is good! These photos were taken just after they had a bath and while I am drying them. Whenever I wash them (which isn't that often, only when they really need it) I always wash them in the sink because its easier. The shampoo that I use on them is Johnson's Small Animal Shampoo which is really good and it just helps get rid of the dirt in their fur and freshen them up a bit. Then I rinse it off, careful not to dunk them completely under the water and then wrap them up in a towel so they don't get cold. They actually don't mind it that much but when they first get into the water, they aren't sure what's happening so start wriggling a little bit. I mean this was only their 2nd time!
Both of them eating hay (they are absolutely mad about it) from the hay rack's point of view! Sorry about the horrible mess of the bedding behind them, it was all their fault and I think that I was going to clean their cage out either that afternoon or the next day; I do clean their cage out every week, don't worry!
Finally, two extremely sleepy guinea pigs! They are always like this at the end of the day even if they have been lazing about during the day anyway. Which makes them very lazy, I guess! If you have guinea pigs, are they like mine?
That was all for this post, I hope you enjoyed it. As I said before, I have actually done this sort of post before but then I ended up not doing another one for a while until now. If you did like it, please let me know and I will try to do a post about Caramel and Lolly more often. Also, if you have a pet, then please feel free to tell me in the comment section below because I would love to know about them!
**Who else has got the Now 90 CD? I only just got it the other day and I would tell you what my fave song on it is but I honestly love a lot of them. What songs are you loving at the moment? It doesn't have to be on the Now 90 CD.**
