Lemiwinks
is a very special piggie. He was rescued from the local guinea
pig rescue shelter at four months of age. He is one of the cuddliest little
guys around because he will lay next to you on the bed, wrapped up in
his blanket, while you read a book or watch tv. Every once in a while,
he will stretch his entire little body out and let out a big yawn and
then just wrap his body up again next to yours. He is the master of the
"blank stare" and so you can just sit there and tell him all of your
problems and he pays attention to you... or at least he 'looks' like he
pays attention! He's just so cute, and we love him!
Lemi is very special in another way. He has facial nerve paralysis on
his right side and is unable to close his right eye so his mom has to
put eye drops into it every day! Apparently he hasn't let his handicap
bother him because he is always willing to pose for pictures. Sometimes
he has to endure some teasing from his brother but he doesn't seem to
let it get him down. He enjoys waking up his slaves at 5am, long naps,
and yelling for food.
