How are things going with everyone. Are they settling in well?
Thanks so much for asking! We're still doing "night cage" time so that I can sleep. We will probably do that for a while.
The dogs are doing great. My old female Boxer, my young male Boxer, and my Chihuahua mix all sleep with me in the bedroom. Bogart "guinea pig killer" sleeps in his kennel in the front room.
The piggers are doing really well. Lemondrop is gaining weight - has been since Texas Rustlers got hold of him. He was sooo sick with URI. She nursed him to health, and he is now blossoming into a happy, healthy guinea pig boy. Tweetie is a year old, and he's more laid back. He likes for me to pick him up. This weekend, I am building a floor time enclosure for them to popcorn and play in when the dogs are safely put away.
For dog safety, there are two things that are KEY:
- carabiner clips on the dogs' kennels at ALL times
- closed/locked door between dogs and piggers in case carabiner clips fail
I feel so much more secure about things now.
