Squeeker's Big Day

[AmberLee]

Dear Squeekers,

Wheeky, wheeky, little guy. Aren't mommies silly when we go to the white coats? So glad you are home and all took care of so you can have a your size friend.

Much wheeky, wheeky, your friend,
Livvy

Good boy Wheeker-Squeeker!

Sandra did they do the whole "grease the eyes" thing? or is that just on buns? They greased--err..."lubricated" Sophie's eyes when they put her under...scared me to DEATH when they brought her out to me!!!! She had gooey eyes and bed head and was as groggy as all get out!!! oh it was scary...I almost bawled she looked so pitiful! The vet must've sensed this cos she immediately told me the 'whys' for grea-er..."Lubricating"

Good luck on the newbie wheeker! Do you have a 'hold' on a special lady at the shelter? Any names picked out yet?!

I saw this and was thinking of you Squeeker! Hope you'll be dancing around soon.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! Between the dancin' Squeeker and Zippy's description of the great reunion, I don't know whether to laugh or cry! Katie, that is SOOO adorable! Thanks so much! And Zippy, I was so glad to see you had the same reaction as me at your reunion! Wasn't it heartbreaking? Yes, greased hiney and head!!! That's what make the hair spikeys!! And they grease the eyes to keep the corneas from drying out; as the eyes stay open! And he could hardly hold his head up. Now that was a pitiful sight! When I checked on him around 10pm, I found him asleep with his head in the food bowl! Hungry and tired! He is so adorable, love him lots!! Thanks for your sweet replys! I'll pass them along to Squeeks.

Hey Sandra! Did Star wake you up so early this morning??? 4:30 am?? That might be a record early post for you!!!

Hope the little fellow is doing better this morning. Bless his sweet heart. How about giving him a light kiss right on the top of his head for Helen and me.

Sandra, how is Squeekers doing today?

Now would be a good time to get Mom to give you extra treats. If you look sad enough maybe a birdie buddy?

He he that's what I was thinking too!

The little man is back to his purrring self this morning! He can't have a tubbie for several days though, so he got a nice brushing, which he loved, and a big breakfast! He little belly is all shaved; so soft and warm! I can't keep my hands off him! All the other kids were very curious! All of those strange, new smells from the SirJury and the vet's office. Oliver slept by his side all night! what a pal! And Gio, I am standing firm, (woBbLE WoBbLe) NO BIRD!!

Logan, Star was sleeping soundly when I woke up myself! I fell asleep so early after my traumatic day! As they say, early to bed....

Glad to hear Squeekers is doing better and that he enjoyed the piggie doing the "Wheeky Wheeky " Dance.... It's been nice hearing about Squeeker lately. You made me pull out my old photo's of my Fleetwood (I'll see if Hubby will scan them). Fleetwood lived to be almost 11yrs. She was the greatest Guinea Piggie...It's been about 51/2 yrs. since she went to RB... We sure had fun together.....

Wheeky Wheeky Squeeks!

So glad to hear Squeeker's is doing well today! I've never had a guinea pig or any pet for that matter smaller than a cat. My mom has an aversion to anything that can "scurry"....
But I loved them as a child and used to go over the neighbors as a 4 or 5 yr old and sit in front of the cage and stare at their piggie. Poor thing, I probably gave him a complex!
I don't however, Sandra, think I will ever have one! Especially after you said that Squeeker's peed and p**ped on you! EEWW
How do you keep the dogs from wanting to chase him? I'm always amazed by all these Pet Talk households with dogs and cats and guinea pigs and birds and they all live in peace!! I don't think I could ever bring in another pet smaller than Duncan....
