Guinea Pig Survivors Discovered: WHEEK!

Dear MODS,
All day each one of us piggies has waited with bated breath to discover the fate of the guinea pigs living in the
house that was blown clear off its foundation by one of the many deadly tornadoes that just ripped through
Alabama...We just received word that survivors are being found alive! Not all. But some. And even
some of the wee ratties have been found alive. We will post more miraculous news tomorrow because it is bedtime. But we couldn't wait to share our HOPE that more of our little brothers and sisters will be found alive. So, stay tuned!  And for those of you who are now traveling across the Rainbow Bridge, we send our love and guinea pig prayers...That goes for you wee ratties, too. We of the Rodential Nation have SOLIDARITY. So now we rest our weary heads dreaming that more of you will be found alive.
Sweet Dreams...Dreams of Hope. Nighty-Night.

Love, Raj Mahal (dig my new Mother's Day tat! Cool, huh?
Of COURSE IT'S COOL!)

Hi MODS, Can You Spare a Minute?

We in Guinea Pig Rescue just lost an entire shelter to the tornadoes that recently ripped through Alabama. Our little brothers and sisters - those who survived - and the people they own are in trouble and need our help.

Thank you,

Dinky's Dream...

Hmmm, a conundrum in the owl box, not unlike Winnie the Pooh getting stuck after eating too much honey...

Yet, not Poohs! And we eateth not honey, so...befuddled is Dinky, Befuddlement Pie ala mode!

 Mystery solved...she has left me to fly -

Oh, brothers and sisters take flight with your wings,
While your Dinky aspires to much loftier Things:
I'll hug the moon and greet every bright star,
then I'll swoop and rise like silk thread weaving Mars...
A Martian feather of Happyness...Floating aloft deeply in the Abyss
of Darkness and Lightness,
let's call them the Same...
For I shall return home
Once that home calls my Name!

1 more poem for poetry month

HUMMINGBIRD & BARN OWL

One is sun and one is moon,

Each one sings a different tune.

One is jeweled iridescence,

One is earth tone dots & crescents.

One is day and one is night,

One is dark and one is light.

One's a tiny buzzing thing,

One is large with silent wing.

Each one has it's special worth,

Each one fills a need on earth.

Both have places in my heart,

One for two, a place to start.

PLEASE RECYCLE

In Honor of Earth Day, April 22, 2011, The Guinea Pig Nation hath decreed to continue the practice of coprophagia
with the sole purpose of inspiring humans to care more deeply about this beautiful, blue jewel-of-a-planet we all share.

They don't call me "Yum-Yum" for nuttin' ya know's!

Oops

If the Easter Bunny doesn't make it to your house, perhaps I can explain...

Please try to have a Happy Easter, anyway!

Ruh Roh - Lunch is trying to get away

Hi Everyone,
Thought you would like to see how big Zippy and Zazoo are getting.
An interesting thing has happened: Mama has been taking Zazoo with her, and Papa has been taking Zippy with him. They split up and go off on field trips together.
Today, I was able to find Mama and Zazoo frollicking in the field and looking for yummy treats. Zazoo is getting very big, however, the parents usually keep their children with them for an entire year, constantly teaching them. Soon enough, Zippy and Zazoo will be hard to distinguish from their parents. Hope you enjoy these pictures.

Love, Linda (Gizmomma)

Happy Easter to MODs all over the World

Wishing you and yours a very Happy Easter, Spring, and/or Passover, whichever is applicable. As MODs we continue to keep in contact with each other, share our joys and sorrows, laughter and tears, support one another, and basically are grateful for having found each other through Molly, McGee, and the Royals. The best of health and prosperity to everyone.

Decorah Eaglets growing quickly

Decorah eaglets approximately April 10th

Still little fuzzy white heads

April 23; major changes They are so much bigger and look to be mostly gray now. Mom was feeding them very large chunks of whatever she brought home and they had no problems gobbling it down. Iowa has been very cold and windy, even had a major snowstorm several days ago. But Mom and Papa Eagle have taken good care of their young, sheltering them from the storm and keeping them warm, as is evidenced by the amazing growth.

Syd and Mel's Kids Rapidly Approaching Owlhood

Close up of owlet face

Two babies up close
These are two of Sydney's owlets. I can't help but notice how differently their faces are shaped, particularly in the curve of the "nose" feathers on the left one. Of course we don't know whether they are males or females but I would venture that the left one is a male. Not sure why, just looks like a boy!!
