We have two new girls in the pen. One, Butterscotch
is a gentle old lady cream that is about four and a half years old. The other
is a nine-week-old, slipperty-giberty, tri colour coronet that he has named
Emma, after one of his favourite nursing sisters at GOSH.
Himself has been trying to get a coronet for a long
time and he is like putty in her paws. Needless to say, she is a right little
madam who is not at all respectful to her seniors and no matter how many times
we try and head butt her into place, she reckons she’s as good as Us. The cheek
of it! We don’t know what the younger generation is coming to and we all blame
the parents.
Butterscotch,
who has a dodgy right forepaw and walks with a bit of a limp, is always well
behaved and a perfect lady. Himself is also rather smitten with her, for she
reminds him of his first pair of cream boars, Simon and Garfunkel.
Both
have already been taken hospital visiting and according to himself, they were
both much hugged and made a fuss off. The thing that is really going to really
go to the head of Emma is that himself intends to write a book about her life.
If she carries on like she has begun then it will be a short one if we have our
way.
He
is always going on about not writing Alex’s life story. He was a tri colour
boar that started hospital visiting when he was three weeks old and carried on
each week until he died when he was about five years old.
Nothing
else notable has happened recently unless you call himself having one of his
teeth fall out. He has to get it stuck in again by his dentist. Humans are so
silly for it is so much easier when you grow your own like sensible guinea pigs
do. All in all, we think we are a far superior species, we have our own human
servants, don’t have to go to work and hey, we only have to have a bath about
once a month. We wouldn’t like to get within a mile of any human who had gone
that long with out a dip in the tub, yucky, yucky!
All
for now. We will keep you posted about Emma, and make sure that she has plenty of
adventures for him to write about, such as being chased round the pen and
getting a good talking to if she doesn’t soon fall into line.
