Pouik's advantages

Pouik is older than me, I was adopted only two years after him so it's kind of normal that he has a special connection to Marie. They know each other for quite a long time now, and he used to be alone, without me to distract him.

So he has habits I find difficult to follow: for example he cuddles a lot while I don't really like that, he doesn't hesitate to jump on her knees, and most of all he doesn't escape when Marie puts him in the grass, whereas I run as fast as I can to hide somewhere. That's the reason why he gets to be trusted a lot more than me. One day I will be trustworthy too, you'll see.

As you can see, it has some advantages to not run away:

Climbing again?

Wonderful weather! They said it would rain this week so we rushed in the garden before the sun disappeared. And Marie had put our fence around a trunc, so we enjoyed playing with it and hiding under its branches.

 

 We stayed until the first drops fell... I wanted to stay but it seems like mini-sized umbrellas haven't been invented yet. Guineabrellas? There's something here to work on.

New activities

Today I discovered a new activity: Tree-climbing! I've been put on a apple tree's branch and I looked around. How far I could see! It was a bit frightening though, I won't do it again anytime soon.

Let's party!

What the hell is that?!

The others I met

Me again! Outside on the playground I finally met the other guinea pigs of the family, those who stay here and don't come with us.

The two seniors I showed you a foto of previously:

The three given white apple-guineapigs:

Lea

Callie

They are called apple-guinea pigs because the previous owner gave them baths with apple-shampoo, so they smelled like apple when they arrived. Now they don't anymore, my owners find it a bit barbarian to give a bath to a guinea pig. Only if it's absolutely necessary, like that time when Pouik had covered me with wee-wee, I was completely dirty and sticky and smelled awful, so she kind of had to give me a bath. I didn't like it, especially the drying part. Anyway. Pouik doesn't bombard me with her wee anymore so I guess I'm gonna be able to avoid baths in the future...

First trip outside!

Today was a beautiful day so Marie decided to put us guinea pigs outside. We enjoyed it, and I was barely visible, so small and hidden inside the grass! So many things to discover! Marie was a bit worried that I could eventually slip through the bars of the fence, because there were some larger holes in it: but I didn't even think about that. I was too buisy grazing and sniffing...

I have a white paw, like a sock! :)

We stayed quite a long time, the whole afternoon, and I was very tired after that. I'm gonna sleep well tonight.

Carpet afternoon again

I jumped and ran all around it was soooo funny! And Pouik started to do like me! Feeling good now. I enjoyed playing and quarreling. I even jumped on Marie to eat when I saw Pouik do it. Thought it couldn't be dangerous... 

I really love these endives, Pouik showed me that they were eatable and since then I can't get enough of them!
On the second foto I look like a squirrel without tail haha or a mouse
