I am honestly sorry for your loss.

It wouldn't let me post on the forum, but why don't you call Atlanta Animal Control yourself? You seem to know a lot about it.

I'm sorry, my guys don't give me a lot of trouble with this so I don't have any experience with a squirmer to share!

I am having major issues clipping my guinea pig's nails. She's way too scared to let me do it, and she's really freaking out. Can you suggest any ways to help her calm down so I can clip her nails? I really need to clip them today. Please help!

To each his own, I guess.

I'm sorry if this sounds weird, but why don't you want respect AND education on how to properly care for your guinea pigs?
I have to disagree, that respect is not earned. Do you give your boss respect because he did something that makes you want to respect him? No, you just automatically give respect to everybody because that's how you would want to be treated, most likely. The Golden Rule, remember? I am sorry if you disagree. Just wanted to ask you because I thought I had read it wrong on the thread! And, um, by the way, why are you telling me to learn how to earn respect?

Yes, except mine is a perfect angel! (Yeah, right!) She is actually really sweet [most of the time] but she is very sensitive about her neck and belly. If we're petting her, if we get anywhere near her neck or belly, she'll bite you - hard. But she's super sweet and loving and cuddly and I love her half to death! Pigs are great pets.

I explained why in the next post. It's absolutely nothing personal.

Yes, your pig looks a LOT like our Kirby, and I've noticed that before! Handsome little devils, aren't they? ;-)

Hey, I saw your "no thanks, i respectfully disagree" reply to my thread "Why can't we all get along" - can you tell me why? Is it about me? Just want to know if it's something about me or what I said.
By the way, your tan guinea pig with the white rosette looks EXACTLY like my guinea pig. I can show you a picture. I thought it was my guinea pig when I saw the picture ! I'm not even kidding. Funny, isn't it?

I live near a military base too, I completely understand how deployments would affect animal welfare. Thank you for making that point.
