GizzyandMe

You didn't make it sound like cages are bad, don't worry. I really hope I can figure out how to come out for a visit sometime! I'll keep you posted, and ask you any questions that come up in my planning.

A visit to your area sounds totally awesome. I just realized though, I don't know you by anything other than your username! How awful of me! My name is Tess.

Anyway, I mentioned South Africa to my cousin and she may be interested in coming too! I'm so excited. It wouldn't be for a while though, since I'd probably come when James is on deployment, and I'd have to figure out budgeting for the trip and all that. I want to stay as long as possible, for as little money as I can, especially since my cousin will be joining me and she is a full time student- not financially set really at all.

I'm so jealous of how well Gizzy has potty trained herself! I hope your new girls are similar in that nature. Carpet Shampooing is such a chore!

Doing free range for the new pigs would be really tough if they don't want to potty train themselves like Gizzy has. None of my pigs are potty trained, they poo and pee everywhere! I'd love to have them free range, but it'd be an absolute mess.

I've been wanting to visit Africa for some time now, but my husband doesn't want to go so I would probably go next time he's deployed. Hawise said that Africa is gorgeous too, so between the two of you I think you have fueled my interest even more. What airport should I start watching rates for? Also, what is the currency there? I saw it was symbolized with "R" but I didn't know what it was short for. Also, how would it be for a young white female who only speaks English and Spanish? I don't want to get stranded in a foreign country...

OH WOW. That's gorgeous!!! I should come visit some time.

I hope Gizzy can get used to being in a cage after living free range for so long.

thank you so much for the poem
it meant alot to us <3

Thanks for the advice about pigs on the couch. I will get brave one of these days and try it ! Thanks again.

Yes, I love all their personalities! It's great how they shine. The boys seem to have really blossomed now that they have more space.

It sounds like things are really spread out where you live! Hours to the vet, hours to work... I'd go batty!

I could be tempted by having Alex trained... No, I'm joking, he is the worst offender when it comes to spoiling the pets! But Gizzy could surely take Isolde down a peg or two!
It seems to me that Gizzy is keeping a close eye on your love life then: does she screen applicants for you
And don't worry, even if she is dominated, it is not like bullying. It is a natural state for them. Although Ic an't think that Gizzy would let herself be dominated!

HAHAHAHAHA, I didn't know that guinea pigs could spray! OMG she is even bossier than I thought! But dare you forget the TV!!!!!!
I can read piggies' body language very well, but Alex can't. But they don't even tell him they need to pee. They just do. Lancelot was the best for that! Haha. When in bed with us, he would specifically go on Alex to pee. The good boy did not want to soil mummy's bedsheets

This is really touching. Gizzy really had an easy escape the day she met you
My pets kind of like Alex but they always pee on him, and I don't know why. Lancelot used to go on him just to pee!!!!
