Litter #2 is here!

Maddie had her babies at about 10:00 this morning.  She had three, one (red) was stillborn.  The other two (one brindle, one red) and Maddie are doing fine.  They are already playing with the members of litter #1.

  

More New Life

    We are still waiting for Guinea Pig Litter #2 (trust me, so is the poor Guinea Pig!).  In the meantime, we have had other new life at our house that is noteworthy.

  It all started with this box that came in the mail......

  With a container of  five, very tiny, Painted Lady caterpillars inside......

The container was full of something for them to eat, and eat, and they grew and grew......

Until it was time to hang upside down, and for the chrysalids to form around their bodies............

to hide the miracle that is taking place inside..........

Only God could pull that off!!

24 hours old......

    Here they are....  One is all black, one is a Tan, one is a Tan with a bad white toupee (crest), and one is a Tan with a white uni-brow (crest?) We don't know yet, if they are boys or girls.

Litter #1 is here!

Jenna (the Tan)  had four babies about 12:30 this afternoon!  Here are the best pics I could get (without flash) of the one hour old babies!

HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY SCOTT!

We will ALWAYS love you!

Happy Birthday, Scotty Boy!

Still Waiting.........

Poor things....at this point I think there is little hope for them to ever get their pre-pregnancy figures back.

 

WAITING

    We are all looking forward the the arrival of two litters of Guinea pigs.  As you can see, it won't be long!

THIRTY YEARS!

    I've had the privilege of spending the last thirty years with my VERY BEST FRIEND!  It doesn't get any better than that.............unless it would be spending the next thirty plus years with him.

    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, HONEY!  I love you!
