The Things We Do for Love
Posted in Family Doings

Poor Chutterly. I tried so hard to be a nice mommy and clip her nails when she needed it. But she's been held a little too often lately and just wanted to hide in her pigloo. So I enticed her out with a seedhead of Timothy Hay. Oh how she loves the seedheads. But when I got my hands gently but firmly around her she squealed like I'd shaved her bald! I got her nails clipped, but she really struggled and fought. Blair cleaned out her cage and extended cage and made her Casa Cavy all pretty and nice again. I wrapped baby up in a towel and sang to her until she settled down. Hm, music really doth have charms to soothe the savage beast (yes, I know that's not the quote, but this is a family site.) She was so warm and cuddly, purring away, and I guess both of us fell asleep because the next thing I know, I'm nose to nose with a guinea pig who is licking me on the cheek. I kind of wish the kids had gotten a photo of sweet baby trying to wake me up, but the children know that approaching me with a loaded camera is taking one's life in their hands, so you'll have to imagine. She's still a little skittish, but I feel better! |
