Bubbles
a.k.a. Bubbs is a tortoiseshell and white (mis-marked) sheltie
(silkie). I got her for my 21st birthday from my boyfriend's mother. I
had for a long time been begging for a pet of my own. After I moved to
the Netherlands, I really missed my pets in Denmark. I had always wanted
to get a rodent, and I began to study the different kinds. And my
conclusion was: I Want A Guinea Pig!
After begging for months, I was finally time to go pick one out!! We
went to a pet shop nearby. There were only two different cavies, but it
was still difficult to choose. But when I saw Bubbs, I was sold on the
spot! She was so fluffy and with half long hair on the bum. At that time
I did not know anything about the different breeds and I did not know
what she was going to look like when she was all grown up. I have to
admit that I was pleasantly surprised!
I got her on the 14th of September 2004 (my birthday), and she was at that
time eight weeks old. She was so tiny that she did not even take up the
space on the palm of my hand when she was sitting there. I decided to
call her Bubbles because she was always sitting curled up with the front
paws hidden in her hair - looking like a small bubble. At first she was
a bit scared, but she quickly got adjusted to her new home and was
popcorning around like crazy. After a few weeks and more study of guinea
pigs, my boyfriend and I decided that we would buy her a friend. We
brought home Chinchi (RIP). Bubbs was a bit intimidated by this new
little girl being put in her cage and she acted very dominant and was
very protective of her home. But after a while (and a lot of quarrels
and one bite wound) she finally accepted her new younger sister.
Bubbs is a stubborn lady who knows what she likes and what she
definitely does not like. She loves veggies, but hates fruit. She does
not like cavy candy nor being brushed. But she adores her "daddy" and
can sit in his arm for ages. And occasionally she does enjoy giving a
few kisses and telling some good stories. She loves to popcorn around in
the play pen, and the igloo tent is her favorite victim of funny cavy attacks.
