Well, Buddy seems to be getting bored easily these days. He doesn't like his toy truck anymore. Temperamental guinea pig. I try to spend time with him daily but he doesn't seem to appreciate it. Sometimes having a pet takes a lot of effort. Maybe I'll take him for a drive and see if it improves his mood.
If I die and get reincarnated I hope it is to be your pet or my dads dog. I Think it is great the effort you are putting into your Guinea pig. I think he just needs a play mate, does any of your neighbors have a gentle fun dog? It might be ice to let them visit each other. I had a guinea pig would would chirp real loud till I let him out to play with my neighbors dag(a mixed breed). They really enjoyed each other presence and seemed more content after.
We are going to the fair this weekend. I think we may enter Buddy in the guinea pig competition. He should do well. He is highly intelligent and has such a glossy coat. He usually has a good disposition so hopefully he will behave well for the judges.
We are planning a barbecue this weekend. We are hoping to get to know some of our neighbors. The weather is supposed to be nice. It should be a lot of fun. Perhaps we will get a game of croquet or volleyball going.
