As I mentioned on Friday we got Alice~
well we have tried our best to settle her in but she is so frightened
I was so concerned about her, I just knew she needed a friend
to bring her out her shell and boost her confidence in life.
So I had to wait til mum came home which was today!
Mum came home today and we went to choose a guinea pig
as I rang up in advance to see if the pet shop had any in
(this was yesterday) the guy on the phone confirmed they had 8 piglets in
Today when we went down we could only see 2 i kinda thought
"wow they sold quick!!" but when we asked to view them the lady
picked up an igloo and it was like disturbing an ant's nest
piglets went everywhere haha all 8 of them
we had to choose 1 out of 8!!! do you know how difficult that is!?
so we looked and i pointed one out right away and was trying to follor
her within the pack of pigs as i was trying to view them all as well
there was some cuties and unusual ones but this one stood out to me
probably due to her fawn/mink fur and she was the only one with red eyes - like alice
so i asked to hold her and i was taken so was mum, we worried she might
be left behind due to her red eyes as well
also she had the most ginger fur - my brother loves ginger pigs!
so here she is
this is Millie, we believe she may be 1-2 weeks younger than Alice
but that makes no difference they will have the same birthday
we brought her home and she was as frightened as Alice
we also brought some spray which neutralise's their scent
so when it comes to putting them together it should make life easier
brought her home and we were told to put them on neutral territory
and to clean out the hutch, so mum did the hutch whilst i did the meet & greet
(mum cant bare to see pigs fight) the pigs were on a blanket on the sofa
they did not move....not at all...
so i slowly inched them closer and closer til in the end they were next to each other
then Alice used her voice! first time ever! shes so sweet!!
she sounded like she was saying "hi" as it wasnt distressed squeaks
and Millie purred back!!! it went great!
so when the cage was ready we took them home
and we checked on them throughout the day and at some points
they were sat together X3 im hoping they will continue to like each other
as i would like them to be forever sisters as lily & pinky are
it was even said whilst we were in the pet shop that lily & pinky
MIGHT accept Millie & Alice due to them being babies
so fingers crossed you never know
but thats in the future get them settled in first
by the way this all happened whilst Dom-kun was over haha!
poor dom, well he went to test drive one of dad's cars whilst we went guinea shopping
so it wasnt all bad
i feel much better now alice has a friend, i have been so worried about her
but now she has someone to cuddle up with
yesterday I went to town~ dom needed a load of bits for his work abroad
i got some joggers and tights
then today we went to a huge antique shop in Heanor
I brought my dad 2 gifts for father's day. and I brought some material for myself
and 2 cute earrings. i'll photograph tomorrow
me and dom talked about relationships and it turns out he fancies a girl - 18 year old -
he met at the anime convention 2 weeks ago so he's into her ^^
i told him i was jealous - not an emotion im used to - but i got over it quickly
if thats what dom want i shall be good and support
at least we can now get mia-chan and helina-chan off our backs!
anyway sorry for long blog but its 2 days worth!
