Re: The International Guinea Pig Adventure

I think we should all pack traveling Charlie some "treats" for his trips. Perhaps he could share them with the next familys pigs he meets? *wink* *wink*
Get what I mean?

Re: The International Guinea Pig Adventure

Sorry Bunny's - no one new is being added to Charlie's travels. Charlie has already passed VA and Washington and is on his way to Texas as we speak.

Hopefully Charlie won't be tempted to sneak across the border while he's here for some beach time and margaritas.

Can't wait to hear about his visit with Susan. Hopefully, he'll get to see more of Dallas this time while he's there!

Re: The International Guinea Pig Adventure

Yes, sorry! Charlie made it yesterday. He went to the neighbor's house by mistake, and it took a few days to find him. Now I just have to figure out a a few places to take him, since PM already took him to all the cool places in Dallas. Thanks a lot, PM.

Re: The International Guinea Pig Adventure

Nah, you have plenty of places to take him. He was going to go to the Aquarium, but decided to sleep in. He mostly stayed at the hotel actually; although he did go to Steak and Shake for lunch one day, drove the H2 we rented, and went to the Sixth Floor Museum.

Re: The International Guinea Pig Adventure

I'd be happy to show Charlie some of Kentucky! Lots of fun sights to see if he'd like to come to the Bluegrass State!

Re: The International Guinea Pig Adventure

Hey Susan, hows Charlie? I was hoping he would be here in time to come back for a road trip to Dallas to pick up the piggers at Texas Rustlers. . Unless you wanted to meet somewhere and exchange him.

Re: The International Guinea Pig Adventure

Unfortunately, Charlie has undergone a terrible ordeal here in Dallas. I didn't want to say anything until the situation was resolved, for fear of setting off a horrific chain of events that would end with Charlie's ultimate demise.

Charlie was kidnapped. Yes. I received a random note approxmiate two weeks ago, with heavy demands. While worried, my husband and I held out for a proof of life. We finally got a picture of Charlie looking tattered and weary, but alive. Through tremendous sacrifice, we met the demands and made the drop.

At that point, the kidnapper refused to release Charlie, and it became a hostage situation. We had to call in a hostage negotiater. Charlie finally made a very daring esape, one that put his life in extreme danger, but ultimately led him to freedom. He escaped with a few minor injuries but is otherwise unharmed.

Naturally, he is weary and skittish after such an ordeal. He has been deposed by all the proper authorities regarding the incident. Unfortunately, Charlie's captors remain at large. Some feel it's best for Charlie to enter the Witness Protection Program, but Charlie wants to continue on his travels. He feels when he reaches California, he can assume a new identity.

He managed to get a few photos from inside the area he was held in. He also intends to write a full account of his experience and publish it as part of his memoir.

For the time being, though, he wants to go under the assumed name of "Otis."

Charlie will travel from an undisclosed Dallas location within the next 2 days to the next person on this list. I dare not say more.

Oh, my gosh! Poor Otis. Thank goodness he is alive and well. He is to come to me soon. I will keep his idenity as I so want him to be able to come to Arizona. Anxious and waiting.
