To the dear friends of Wiggley & Ginger.Our little friend Wiggley passed away on the 10th March 2011. It has been a hard journey for us all but he was a brave little guinea pig who fought till the end.Here's a tribute for Wiggley I thought you might like to read. I'll miss them both terribly.Thank you all for all your kind words and continued support. The boys would very much like this blog to be

I can tell you this - it’s not very nice to be sick.I haven’t been eating for about a week as I have not been feeling that good. After speaking to Dr Adam, Mum took me to see a specialist - someone who knows a lot about my type.Turns out, my kidney stones have now become bladder stones and are bigger. It hurts when I pee. Sometimes my pee stains red.Also since I have not been eating, my back

This is our my first Valentine without Ginger. Mum promised us a treat each and extra cuddles as with the other years.One more sleep before Valentine's Day - I can't wait for my treat. I think the cats don't think much of Valentine's. I know I'll be missing Ginger more than ever.Happy Valentine's Day to you all!Would you be my Valentine?, originally uploaded by twoguineapigs pet photography.

I thought I'd give our Blog a little bit of a fresh-up as Ginger would say when he was still around. Ginger liked text to look straight and the same all over. I like a bit of fun.What do you think?Here's the old look:

… means lounging on the Chaise Lounge!Don’t ask me what that means — all I know is it’s something to sit on and I like it very much. That pretty pillow... it is better looking than mine. Maybe time to ask Mum for new pillows?I saw Dr Adam (one of my favourite people) on Wednesday and was given a clean bill of health. I now weigh 1115.7g which means I am not overweight anymore.

I spent Christmas this year having all the cherries to myself. I do miss Ginger — everyone at home does though I'm not sure if the cats do much as Mr Big slept through the entire day and PF just gazed at our Christmas lights. He must think they are from outer space — even I know they are Christmas lights Mum and Stephen put them up to make the place look pretty.Merry Christmas everyone and have a

Thank you all for your kind words. We are grateful to have friends all over giving us support.We're are still missing Ginger and I feel him with us still.

We have been wanting to post but got busy packing to move.I just want to tell you all that Ginger has crossed the Rainbow Bridge on 10 December 2010, 9.30pm. We are all very sad.I'll write back later. Mum is still upset so I'll be spending a lot of time with her.

A few days ago, I was modeling for Mum. I don't know why but she was very interested in looking at me closely.

Guess what I've been doing this week? Checking up on Mum's knitting project.This one's the Seamless Hybrid — a project that Mum started in March this year and has not worked on for half a year.

We normally have one bath a month according to the calendar.Last Winter was too cold to keep to this so the last bath we had was in June! And no, we do not smell; Mum keeps us clean with baby wipes throughout Winter. Plus, we always get our litter changed every 5 days and we get fresh beddings every other day.Now that Spring is here, we had our first bath 3 days ago!I love my bath — I feel clean

I can't tell you how happy we are that Spring is finally here! It has been a really, really cold Winter this year.We still get cold nights where I have to snuggle up in my blanket but it is warmer during the day now.And we are back in action!This afternoon, Mum was feeling a bit restless so she made these - I think I look good!LK guinea pig, originally uploaded.More here:

... it's still cold - how is that possible?We don't get that much rain these days. That's a good thing. But we still stay indoors as it gets too cold to go out and play in the garden.We listen to iTunes or take a nap during the day.Mum is taking a break from work so she stays home with us too.The cats, oh well, they sleep more than us.I like this quiet time. Really.

We had more sun last week though it still rained quite a bit.We got to go out for a little run in the garden last Friday after the strong wind.Mum took her big lens out into the garden and gave us something to do; she wanted a Lord of the Rings stage play so Wiggley and I acted out our parts. Since it was dusk, I thought I could pull out some fangs and transform into Edward Cullen from Twilight.

You wouldn't think us guinea pigs get to be busy eh.We've been busy sleeping, playing and making Mum laugh and best of all, we get to spend a week with Uncle Les, who is visiting us from Wellington, New Zealand!I googled up and found that Wellington is 1378 miles (2218 km) (1198 nautical miles) away from Sydney.I asked Mum if she could drive us down to see him one day.

I can tell you this: I have never been this cold in all my life. I am 5 years and a bit old.We got extra blankets in the last couple of days — last Tuesday had been the coldest Winter day in more than 60 years!Mum regretted not knitting more as she wanted to make us all winter coats this year but thought it might not be this cold.I tell you alright, I'm freezing my furs off!Snuggles, originally

And for those who didn't know what it was I hope you checked it out.Later - I'll tell you which was my favourite!

We wear our fur to bed. Meanwhile, Mum wears her socks and the kittens.We would like to snuggle up in bed with Mum also; it's just that we need to have a toilet break every half hour and it can be a handful between Wiggley and I.

Being a star that is, a celebrity as Ginger told me.Since I've lost some weight because of my new diet (no hay for a while), I wanted to make the most of it.So I posed for Mum's practice session.Wiggley.More shots here!I'll be seeing Dr Adam soon for a check-up. I think I'm ready to get back into my Timothy hay again!

Like most of you who voted, we too have 3 cameras at home — two belong to Mum and one belongs to us! We don't use ours that often. It's quite handy to have a Mum who can take pictures.

I wanted to write (well, actually I punch the keys) about Mum's pictures but it's too cold — it's 14 oC tonight!The rain we had today must have brought upon this cold night.Wiggley is doing better these days and I can see he's looking forward to timothy hay again — I know I am!I'll punch in more tomorrow. In the meantime, I hope you're all snuggling up nice and warm.

I guess there are half as many people who voted as guinea pigs — the people are the same as Mum, she likes chocolate Easter eggs. We missed out on our timothy hay this Easter because of Wiggley's health. It's all worth it for that little guy and he can lose some weight anyway (don't tell him I said this!).

By now you probably have read Wiggley's post.I have to tell you now that he's quite proud about showing off his xray. I can't tell him to stop talking about it. He thinks xray is a sort of picture that Mum should take.Anyway, I want to add to Wiggley's post about our diet.Dr Adam explained to us that since we are not little anymore (we're 5 years old this year) most products sold in the shops are

I am on a diet of only dark leafy greens and fruits but no hay or pallets from the shop.Dr Adam, our Vet now that Dr Terry has retired, has emailed Mum my xray result.Two weeks ago, I was weeing blood again. Stephen dropped me off at the Vet for an xray.It turns out I have bladder stones! You can even see the stone in my xray (and my tummy looks so big!)The 'crystals' in my wee probably got

I never quite get the meaning of Easter. Stephen explained to us that it's something about a guy called Jesus. All Wiggley and I remember of Easter each year is Mum stuffing her face with chocolate eggs. Unfortunately, she ate it all up so quickly that I think she got sick from it on Sunday — so we didn't get any photos of our Easter eggs.If you ask me, we had a peaceful and quiet Easter — apart

I am glad that all of you who did our last poll said you would vote for Earth. We had fun that night as you can see from our last two posts. The kittens joined in the fun and only PF got what it was all about. Hope to 'see' you all on Earth Hour next year!

I like WALL-E the most out of the movies in this poll.Ginger said I slept through the last part of it when we were watching it on iTunes. Maybe I can watch it on Apple again.The cats don't think much of movies. They prefer to just lie about doing nothing. Ginger said that's very cat-like.I saw on eBay yesterday that you can get WALL-E 'figurines'. They are 'people' from the movies you can get.

It was a hot Autumn noon yesterday (even hotter today!) when Mum took this picture of us. See, Mum is too tall to fit into the frame so we only got her feet.The kittens were always in the way, they walked in front of and behind the camera, and behind us. But they were not interested in having a family shot taken. Poor Stephen, he spent all his time chasing after the kittens and got left out of

If you have been following us for the last 4 years (is it 4 years already?), you probably would know by now how 'mad' we are in keeping a Blog of our thoughts and lives.We, well, more like, I, instead of Wiggley, have caught this 'shooting bug' as Mum would call it, and guess who gave me that — Mum.We have on file more than 10,000 photos; some on our Blog but most of them not.The moment Mum gets

I just realised we haven't posted our last Christmas poll results — Wiggley said he promised to post the results as it was his turn but he hasn't. It is no wonder we only ended up with a few more cherries for last Christmas at this rate. Perhaps we haven't been good at keeping our promises. Looks like most of you had been good last year, what did you all get for Christmas?

I can't tell you how much I enjoy Summer baths, especially when it's over 35°C and your fur is slightly damp. I love the feel of it on my skin when there's an odd breeze of two. In this heat, Mum doesn't really have to use the hair dryer that much as our fur dries out quite quickly. If only we could got for a swim.After bath, originally uploaded.

I can't remember when but it feels like a long time ago. We were visiting Stephen in Potts Point one week. It was quite a hot night and there was not much on TV. So Stephen downloaded G-Force on iTunes and we got to stay up a little late to see the whole movie.Apart from the graphics, I quite liked the action, especially the guinea pig mobile. I'd like to get one of those. Wiggley thinks he'll

Food is not given. You have to earn it. I do work hard for food, any food. All you need to do is to beg for it whenever you see Mum, or Stephen, heading to the kitchen. You beg and beg out loud when you hear the fridge door open. It's that easy. Sometimes, I don't get my way, but usually, I do get my way. It's good to be back, well, I never left anyway. Just recovering from my infection. I know

That was two days ago. Took me one day to get over the heat. It was hot on Australia Day. Mum had a day off and stayed home with us. We lounged around with the kittens who are not too kitties anymore. They are big, three times bigger than Wiggley. But, they are still babies, really, or least that's how Mum looks at it.Anyway, we didn't do much on Australia Day. It was too hot, so hot that it's

I have always thought that we guinea pigs are one special kind. According to Move One,Guinea pigs were first domesticated around 5000 BC by the Incas, but were most likely kept for food. In the 1600’s, Dutch merchants brought these furballs back from the Americas to Europe, to become popular pets of aristocrats.Now, don't look at the first bit, I'm still horrified by that; look at the last bit.I

According to professors Brenda and Robert Vale, the eco-pawprint of,Cats is 0.15ha (slightly less than a Volkswagen Golf).Hamsters is 0.014ha (two of them equate to a medium-sized plasma TV).Guinea pigs?We don't have a plasma TV at home. Mum is so attached to her 14" analog TV that she set it up with a set-top box to get digital channels. So I reckon our eco-pawprint would be somewhere in between

We spent most of last week hibernating. Although Spring is here, the rain continued into the week - and worse, it's cold! We snuggled up in our Winter bedding. Mum had to bring out her Winter coat to wear to work. I read on the news that cold weather is not unusual during October. Whoever said that, must be joking. I thought last week, especially Thursday, was colder than all Winter I know

It seems not all fingers on the human hand have names other than scientific ones.I learned about the human hand and the 5 fingers when Mum was talking about her cello practice. I know there's the thumb on the left hand where Mum pinches the back of the cello's 'neck'. Then there are the index finger and pinkie - both play notes by pressing down onto the strings.But the other two fingers have no

It is because of this, that I wanted to go on a hot air balloon so much. Isn't it beautiful? I wonder if they will let guinea pigs on board. I am working on this. I have it on my to-do list to write to many hot air balloonist out there until one gets us on board. Maybe I'll take Wiggley along, or Mum. Maybe we'll go visit Kent or Jodi.Speaking of to-do's, you wouldn't think we guinea pigs have

We had our very first bath in Spring, before we headed out to Potts Point for the week.I love a good bath and clean-up, it's really refreshing.Plus, we get extra cuddles from Mum for feeling clean and smelling nice.Now that the Winter months are over, Mum said there's no excuse for sleeping in or hibernating. So it's time to update our Blog.What did you do on your first weekend in Spring?

We had a few warm days this week , not to mention strong winds.It was 27°C yesterday. We could have gone out for a little play but with the strong wind, we all stayed indoors."It's Spring soon and Mother Nature is spreading pollen about," said Mum.Pollen and dust I would say. Spring and strong winds don't agree with Mum — she gets a blocked nose, headaches and teary. I think that goes for Wiggley

We hung out at Stephen's this weekend.Mum went to the Fitzroy Garden Market, right next to the fountain of the Cross. Every Saturday morning, stalls gather about at the Garden to sell home made cake, jams, and a whole lot of other things."I was thrilled to be able to have Fried Radish Cake for breakfast," said Mum.In case you haven't heard what Fried Radish Cake is, it's Malaysian cuisine. There

Looks like we will be getting some warm Winter days soon, and then back to cooler days. I was hoping for an early Spring so we can head out and play in the garden. But Mum hopes to finish her last Winter project and wear it before Spring.Did you know Mum takes the kittens for car ride with us? She's got them leads and we may be taking them to the park this weekend — if the weather is good.

I thought there are more Apple fans out there than PC's. I was a little disappointed by that — I would have thought there would be more people and guinea pigs out there who Blog with Apple. But our poll result shows that 42% of you lot Blog with Apple, whilst 57% of you lot are stuck with a PC. I feel for the 4 out of 7, who Blog with PCs, it must be painful.By the way, I found that when you post

The Connie Peng project is coming along.Mum has split the sleeves and joined the body. Now it's just plain straight stitches for the body piece until the desired length.I like how soft this New Zealand yarn feels, and at the same time, it holds itself well so Mum finds it easy to knit with; less fiddling about she says.Mum started this project in late June. Most time was spent fixing the Moorish

She's back, finally!But, Apple looks different. For a start, there are plastic covers over the keyboard and the trackpad. Then there's this strange looking velvet grey looking thing on either side the trackpad.Mum said these are to protect Apple from being damaged. She was sent in with a Genius at the Genius Bar because there was a crack on the bottom left of the case where Mum's left wrist

... Mum dropped her off this afternoon.It's not that Apple is sick. She's injured. The plastic where Mum's left wrist rests on is cracked.Mum said she contacted someone at the Genius Bar and they said they can help. They've got the part in-store and can fix it. If we're lucky, Apple may be coming home tomorrow.Oh, one more thing, Apple will also be getting an upgrade — to the Leopard Operating

It seems, your most favourite kitten activity involves knitting! I wonder why. Mum said cats are attracted to yarns; something about it makes cats go mad.I on the other hand, would vote for the 'doosh-doosh boxing' as my favourite kitten activity. But we can't vote on our own Poll, Mum said that is cheating.

I woke up this morning feeling uncomfortably warm. I thought Mum had turned up the heater last night and had forgotten to set it to timer. But I thought wrong. Today happened to be the most 'amazingly warm' Winter day in 19 years, according to Sydney Morning Herald.Guinea pigs alive! 19 years...!Now that's a long way since. Did you know guinea pigs only live up to 8 years, if we are lucky,

We didn't get around to visit Stephen's at Potts Point, but did get to hang around at home with Mum and a whole lot of other people and creatures.Mum had a jamming session on Saturday afternoon. Her music playmate, Michael, dropped by for a little play of music. Michael plays the cello and he learns from the same cello teacher as Mum.The

We celebrated Mum's birthday with Stephen yesterday.We surprised Mum with her presents and card when she got out of the shower. Stephen got Mum two Gold Class tickets to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and also Apple's Mac OS upgrade, a 'Premium' Sudoku book, a Michael Jackson DVD and The Tudors series, also on DVD.We got Mum a magazine! Well, actually, we got Stephen to get a

Looks like most of you like mushroom soup. Mum's favourite is mushroom soup for Winter, especially the creamy one.I'm not so sure about pumpkin, how do you cook that big orange thing? It wouldn't 'fit in the pot if you ask me.Least no one voted for guinea pig; there's still hope in this world.

Nothing beats having a peaceful and quiet weekend at Potts Point.When I say peaceful and quiet, I mean no Wiggley 'pop-corning' about thumping on the floor, no Mr Big whinging for attention, and no Mr PF going all mental and skating across the floor. Yeah, that's what it's like on a daily basis I 'guinea pig' you not.Why so many activities by these 'room mates' of mine? I don't know. But I found

I love the weekends — like Mum, we feel weekends are the best.Apart from having to do the chores, seeing friends and all that stuff you people do, Mum tries to stay home as much as possible during the weekends. She likes to hang out with us as she finds it relaxing.This weekend, we all hung out at Stephen's. I get to sit with Mum while she knits and does some work on the laptop. Speaking of

:: we love you forever ::We're saddened by the news of Michael's passing. Mum is especially, since she grew up listening to his songs. She remembered the difficult times she had been through in school with relationship issues growing as a teen and Michael had always been there for her, though his songs, telling her she's not alone.We too grew up most of our 3 years listening to Michael's songs.

There isn't much you can do in Winter. Apart from the odd naps throughout the day Wiggley and I take, I have been surfing.I haven't ordered anything online yet, but I have certainly found something interesting, something about speaking to aliens.If you have heard of S.E.T.I, you probably know it stands for the 'Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence'. It was set up in 1984 in California. And

It's amazing what you get to see up there!Mum said Sydney folks in the City tend to crowd on the rooftop, especially during New Year's Eve to catch a glimpse of the fireworks.Maybe we get to go to the rooftop this coming New Year's Eve and watch the fireworks with our people!:: blue sea :::: ahh ::

We had a full week of Sydney Winter rain, but were lucky enough for a wee bit of sun yesterday. So we decided to head up the rooftop of Stephen's flat for some sun, and a photoshoot of Stephen's new sweater, the Cobblestone.See, the moment Mum completed this project, a certain human couldn't help but to wear it right away. And he wouldn't 'give it back' for the photoshoot.I so wanted to snuggle

Check this out — Mum got us some kale for last week's meals.I looked up on the Internet and found that kale belongs to the cabbage family. It's got a big and chunky stem. The purple florets look really pretty.I can't describe how tasty these are. Whenever Mum served up kale in our salad meals, we always ate these first. They are crunchy and and sweet especially after they have been stored in the

It has been a cold week this week.For some reason, we had sunshine and yet really cold, windy Winter days in Sydney. Colder than last year and the year before.Ginger said it could be the cold front that swept through the east coast of Australia. Other parts of Australia are already seeing snow at this time of the year. It was a bit earlier than usual, Mum thought. Maybe we will get to see snow

Norway won, can you believe it? Norway is great winning this year's competition comparing with last few years' results. Stephen's neighbour, Roberto, whom we met very briefly, is a big fan of Norway. He loved the violin-playing dude who could sing as well.Well, I dunno. My favourite is still Iceland. She is pretty and I like her voice. Maybe we'll get to hear from her again.Anyway, I look forward

We have lots to catch up on our Poll results.Last few weeks we did a Bo Poll. Oh my, Guinea pig, we like this guy's hair-do. I mean, look at those curls! You would never need to visit a hair salon to get that effect. I wonder if Bo has a Blog like us too.

We had a pretty slack week. Mainly because Mum was working on Apple at night to finish up a report so we couldn't get online.I wanted to post about my new brief best mate, one I met last weekend.His name is 127 Printed Scarf and he's Mum's latest finished knit project, yes, finished.Mum bought four balls of 127 Print late last year. She initially wanted to knit a neckwarmer with this. But since

It's traveling alright, been to Potts Point and back with us over the weekend.Since the last post we did on the Cobblestone, the two sleeves are now attached to the body piece and the yoke is on its way.Mum struggled with the short row a bit; especially on the purl rows.
