Our Guinea Pig is slowly becoming accustom to life here at the Keehn house. He comes out to eat when we're at the table eating, too. He doesn't scrabble so hard to get away from me when I pick him up. The girls know how to pet him, how to pick him up, and how to avoid stepping on him - well, pretty much. They also love to feed him sprigs of timothy hay, which he nibbles with piggy delight.
Since the weather has gotten nice, we take Mr. Silky out on our most excellent front porch. He's free to run around and get a little exercise. He's still a little nervous with all that space, though, and spends most of the time hiding under our feet or racing back and forth along the wall as fast as he can go squeaking and oinking and looking for someplace safe. He's hilarious!
Maggie loves him. I think he likes her, too. As you can see. He's almost smiling!
