Everyone has to pull their weight around this house. Just recently having been born is no excuse to slack off. As such here are some of the newest members of the household helping out. Entry 1: Day old baby "skinny" guinea pig is ready to repair your tiny things.  Entry 2: Day old baby guinea pig wants to bake you a cake.  Entry 3: This day old baby guinea pig is working on his modeling portfolio to submit to Calvin Klein.

Well, goons and goonettes we have ourselves a tie! I would tie break it but I really can't choose between them so you both win! Newcomer KittySpinEcho with amazing combo of Good Dog and Orange Cat: and Nerwign, who always deserves to win but took it to the next level this month with this guinea pig. Tiny pig with tiny foods! Let me know if there is specific charity you would like me to donate to in your honor! Nerwign, I know you do raptor rehab so I'd be happy to send your prize to you personally to put mice in those beaks even if you aren't an official charity. This month's contest will be up shortly!

Thanks for the votes everyone, that was a lot of fun! Instant Jellyfish, I would love if you could make a donation to the Humane Society of Canada on my behalf. Thank you so much for doing that, I'm sure it will be put to good use.

I am not sure I'm able to use the message feature here and my birds would love more mice/rats/quail/roaches/superworms to stuff into their beaks (I can post pics!) If you donate via the internets I have paypal at nerwign@sonic.net. If you do snail mail please email me for address? Or did you send me stickers once? Was that you? They were cute. Same address.
