Description: Puzzle is the latest guinea pig I adopted from Critter Corral Guinea Pig Rescue. She's a sad little thing that was discovered abandoned in a fish aquarium and is only beginning to realize that hands are not to be frightened of. Puzzle enjoys a gentle rub around the cheek and under the chin but she still won't let a hand touch her on the head or stroke her back. Truffles, her cagemate, has a been a big comfort to her and they now like to sleep nose to nose.

It's three day music festival and Tool was playing last night, so it was their top choice of days. My daughter and her boyfriend went back today. Of course, they had to wa… read more

It's official. Queen Puzzle has abdicated her throne... not by choice, though. Goody has outsmarted her royal highness and it now appears little Goody Two Shoes holds the coveted title of Queen of the Cavies. I'm shocked at how quickly it happened. It only took a few cunning moves; forcing Puzzle out of the pigloo, pooping in the hay racks and… read more

Puzzle Pieces and Goody Two Shoes have two hay bins, two food dishes and two pigloos in their cage. I noticed them eating side by side and pretty much coexisting with no problems. They will get along fine since they seem to know how to handle one another. While sitting at the computer, I heard Goody wheeking, and as I got up, I could see Puzzle… read more
