Eglu Go With 2m Run For Sale

[Sheilaz]

When our last guinea pig died a couple of winters ago, I decided that it would be the end of our guinea keepings days, having started about 20 years ago. Definitely. I would resist temptation whenever I saw any.

 

However, Esther has been so ill, for several weeks, that I somehow found myself persuaded when she asked about having a guinea pig!

 

On Friday I ordered a purple Guinlu, hopefully coming this Friday.

 

Then today I traced the last 2 available young females for sale in the area & have brought them home.

 

Esther & I are delighted, they are so lovely. Can't wait for Guinlu to arrive (they are in the winter accomodation which I had luckily kept.)

 

Wonder what LSH will say....

Brilliant news Shelia

 

Have you got names for them yet and can we see some photos?

 

I love little GPs and am desperate for some myself, the OH keeps saying 'no' but i may just take a leaf out of your book!

 

I might even tell him you persuaded me to do it!

 

[Christian]

Well done Sheila!

 

Good news

 

I love the little squeaky noises they make

[ubereglu]

 

So that's what you've been up to then!

How lovely Shelia

 

I do miss having GPs - our last one died just over a year ago and I always said no more

[Egluntyne]

Wonder what LSH will say....

 

Can you do the "What?...them?....we've had them ages routine"?

 

Him Indoors wouldn't notice.

 

Congratulations.

 

Sorry to hear that Esther (beautiful name) has been ill.

[Cooks]

cant blame you at all, I love guineas aswell,,, their little "weet weet" sound gets my heart every time.

[SarahCavy]

Lovely! I too just love the way they chat to you ..... especially when you're walking towards them with a rustling carrier bag full of their supper!

 

Sorry that Esther has been ill.

[The Dogmother]

I miss GPs too.

 

I bet OH won't even notice Sheila

 

Rosie send hugs to poorly Esther, hope that she recovers soon.

Well, possibly I could have done. Except because Esther is so poorly they are living in the sitting room to amuse her, until their Guinlu arrives on Friday.

 

She told OH about the Guinlu today, I had planned to keep quiet & see if he noticed. For some reason he now thinks I ordered it because of my love of Eglus, not just for Esther's sake....

 

Thank you all for your good wishes & for sharing my enthusiasm. They are still small, sqeaky & adorable.

 

Pip (or Zippo) & Squeak (Dandelion). They are proving to be a great tonic for Esther, I'm really pleased.

Great news Sheila, they sound adorable and if they're helping with Esther's recovery as well then that's just perfect all round

[SarahJo]

Great news Sheila - I managed to get to girlie pigs by default. Technically they are the school pigs, where I work - but they come home with me on the holidays .

 

Best wishes to Esther - hope she feels better soon.
