We
don't think Wooley and Compton have ever graduated from Guinea Pig
School. The boys don't wheek, sit on our shoulders while watching
football, stand on their hind legs and definitely don't come when
called. All they do is run around the house chasing each other, our
bunnies and our cat, Earthling. They are very finicky eaters, even down
to the type of guinea pig food they eat (they like only the pellets and
leave the good stuff behind - strange). When they sleep, they move stuff
around so they get a little pillow under their head. There is one thing
though - they like to do this hypnotic stare thing. Sometimes when I
wake up in the morning, I find Wooley two inches away from my face
staring at me (they can get on the bed from their cage) . When I open my
eyes, he b-r-r-r-s and wiggles his little rumpus when I reach out to
scratch his behind. Then he runs under the covers and immediately
tinkles by my wife's knee. Don't quite know why. While Wooley is kind of
skinny, Compton is the fat pudgy one. He doesn't do much but eat, leave
little presents and follow Wooley wherever he goes. Compton is a boolean
kind of guy. It seems that he thinks two things: "Can I eat it? Can it
eat me?"
These guys are typical brothers - always fighting, but can't stand to be
separated. We love it when they are running around chasing each other
and going in and out of little nooks and crannies. Because they are
bonded to each other, they don't seem to notice us too much, but oh
well. They both are very endearing. Their favorite activity is to cuddle
in my old sweater and fall asleep on my chest while I am on the massage
chair. Just seeing them all content while jiggling from the massage
chair warms our heart. They like taking baths also, and swim around the
tub if the water is warm. We love these guys so much, even though they
don't seem to be as well behaved as everyone else's guinea pigs on this
site!
