Plummie,
I'm so happy your four new piggies found a good home! I remember Gracie. My youngest daughter's middle name is "Grace", so that clicked with me. Kambiri (you can call her Kambi, since you're family
) didn't stand out on Petfinder, and wasn't at the top of mine or my daughter's list when we went down there. But once we were in the play area with her and maybe 10-12 others, her sweet personality shown through and won our hearts. She's also very curious, but not obnoxiously so (like Cayenne). She explores with a purpose, while Cayenne just likes to run.
Kambi is also a "sniffer". She is always smelling the air with her nose, especially when she thinks treats are coming, and she will always sniff my finger or hand if I put it in the cage. You can see that trait in the pictures below (click each image for a larger view) she even likes to sniff the camera. She doesn't talk as much as Cayenne, or popcorn as much. Everything she does, she does with purpose. She loves to sit in my lap to be petted.
Here are some pictures. I'll talk more about Cayenne later, but I thought Gracie and you might like to know a little more about Gracie's mom. I don't know if Karen told you the story of Kambiri, but she and three boys were found in a park and given to the Dayton Area Humane Society. Being with three boys, she found herself pregnant.
Cayenne, her brother, and her father were found by a concerned lady who was driving on a road in Sydney, Ohio (north of Dayton). They were in a laundry basket on a hot 90 degree day next to a boy yelling "Free Guinea Pigs" to passing cars. Not wanting them to end up mistreated or as food, she picked them up and called Karen.
This is where Cayenne and Kambi's lives come together. Dayton is about half-way between Sydney and Cincinnati. So Karen agrees to meet her at the Dayton Area Humane Society to do the transfer. While Karen is there, she discovers Kambi and the three boys that were found in a park and brings them home too.
Here are the pictures. Almost every picture I've taken of Cayenne is blurry, she's just too fast
. Every picture without flash of her, which I think looks better, is blurry, but here are two with flash, including the picture of which my avatar is based. Kambiri loves her picture taken, as you can see. I'm going to enter the first picture in a county fair contest, I'll let you know how it does. Please keep me posted on Gracie's progress.
