Today I decided to let my six girls have playtime together. It was a disaster. Nola, one of my rescue girls, took it upon herself to try to pick a fight with every one of the 4 other girls caged together. At first there was just kekking and humping, then the fighting began. I scrambled to...

Here's my four chinnie girls, all lined up in a row, sleeping. Sorry for the poor quality of the picture. I took it with my cell phone. Left to right.....Ozzie, Poppy, Bunny and Trixie.

Occasionally I bring my guinea pigs over to my daughter's apartment when I go to visit so my granddaughter can enjoy the little critters. I hadn't had the piggies over to my daughter's apartment for a couple weeks now but the other night I was at my daughter's apartment and my granddaughter...

My youngest child just turned 21. We had a great night out on the town and it was so fun. All my kids were their and many of their friends. My youngest has a buddy who's girlfriend just moved out of their apartment and is paid up 4 months ahead in her half of the rent. She doesn't want her...

My chins love those white pumice stones. I don't know if I should be limiting them or can I free feed them as fast as they can chew them? I don't know what the calcium content of these pumice stones are and I'm wondering if I give them pumice too often if I am possibly putting my chins in...

My friend,Tony, is on a website where the subject of rodeos came up. Most of the posters were very pro rodeo and found them great fun and entertaining. Personally, I don't enjoy them and I worry about the animals in the rodeos, as does Tony. He posted on his website that he felt the animals...

I always keep a bag of Critical Care on hand. I occasionally notice someone posting their chinchilla is not eating and they need critical care immediately. It is inexpensive and could be a life saver in an emergency IF it is on hand. I recommend anyone who owns chins, guinea pigs, degus, etc...

Okay, folks, I am willing to chip in a contribution to win this statue for Laurie should it go on the auction block. (And I'm betting it WILL go on the auction block.) Let the crappy government here in Illinois be Laurie's gain. What do you all say? Are you in on winning this for Laurie...

Ever since I drove to a show with Kristy, I've wanted a GPS system. I am ready to buy one. I know Garmins come highly recommended. Other than that, I know nothing. Kristy's sat on her dashboard with a sandbag sort of stand. I've seen them in cars mounted on the windshield with a suction cup...
