A Little Off Course

Ah, the best laid plans of mice and men.......seems my blogging plan has gone awry.  Not without good reason though.  We have been prepping our other house for sale and have been away from home and when I get home I am too tired to even care so I am falling behind.
Also, in addition to Trixie, I am caring for Bean’s pets while they are away.  I have a hamster named Sprinkles and a guinea pig named Dot here.  The hamster isn’t difficult at all but the guinea pig takes more time and care and affection.  Yes, affection.   So, between brushing the pig, cuddling the pig, washing vegetables for the pig and giving her hay, I am really up to my ears in guinea pig care.  I will post photos later.
I have to speak to Bean about her participation in the book club postings.  I think she needs to write her opinions as well as me.  So, going to work on that when she gets home which will be soon.
I thought Trixie killed herself this morning.  She was jumping up to grab a dog biscuit from me and slipped on the kitchen floor and banged her head on the tile floor.  She didn’t miss a lick though and got right back up and continued jumping so I guess all is well.
Well, off to meet the realtor so fingers crossed this house sale will go quickly.

Yes, hopefully your other house will sell quickly and the guinea pig will go back home so you can have a bit of time to yourself!!

We are on the end stretch of dealing with the house. It will officially be on the market next week and we can finally breathe. The guinea pig is fun but never having had one it is a learning curve for me. And then there is the dog! She is getting better thigh with the potty business.

I hope the house sells! Guinea pigs are needy, aren't they? They also need regular nail clips which sounds like an errand I wouldn't like (taking them to the vet).

Pom Pom. yes they are and she has an attitude too! They took her for a manicure a week or so ago. I wouldn’t do it. I bought a little electric nail file for Trixie. Not anxious to use it

 Ok, so we visited our cardiologist yesterday to get the lay of the land for the Hubs.  Seems there is an issue with one of the grafts from ...
