All Things Great and Small

Project 365 – #161 Isn’t it wonderful how the Lord is concerned about even the tiny details in our lives?  Today, I needed to find some things for the guinea pigs, so I could make some bedding.  (The shredded paper and other bedding is not working for us, so I needed to do something that would work better.)  I found out that Uhaul blankets with fleece over top work really well as cage liners.  I headed over to Uhaul, and once I told the gentleman why I was purchasing the blankets, he offered to give me a couple of used…

Introducing Rosita the Guinea Pig

Project 365 – #160 Guinea pigs are highly social animals, so they do best when there are at least two of them together.  When Munchkin adopted Choco, there was only one guinea pig, so we’ve been watching local boards waiting to see if any guinea pigs came up for adoption.  Yesterday, a girl from 4-H posted on craigslist that she had guinea pigs that needed a new home.

The popcycle is simply pureed strawberries that I put in the popcycle molds.  It was a very healthy, refreshing treat on a hot afternoon.

Project 365 – #157 Munchkin has really been missing her guinea pigs.  One passed away while D was deployed last time, and a few months later we needed to give up the other one for adoption due to our cross country move.  Since that time, she’s been wanting guinea pigs.  D and I held off for quite some time as I didn’t want the responsibility of taking care of another pet. Earlier this year, D told Munchkin that if she could show that she would be completely responsible for a pet, we would consider it.  She had to write up…
