I would trim their fur, especially round the rear end as that was the part that could get matted - for obvious reasons! <br /><br />They too suffered the indignation of occasional baths - I had two cat litter trays I used for bath tubs. One I would use for light shampooing (cue indignant weenking) and the next for rinsing, and then onto the towel to be wrapped up - such cute faces peeping out of the top of the towel!!Lucy Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17346977682747924108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391072111621034521.post-34751381899684977202009-05-11T09:04:00.000+01:002009-05-11T09:04:00.000+01:00Molly & Dinah are beautiful!

(smile). As a matter of fact, I think it is precious. <br /><br />My Lynnette loves God's little creatures. She is like a Tasha Tudor in modern day times. I have always been crazy about ~human~ babies myself! (smile) <br /><br />I guess it is a fact that each of us are different, and that it takes all kinds to make life interesting!<br /><br />I do like to think of all of the different kinds of animals that God created, and that He has a purpose for each one of them. I just don't get to involved with any of them. teehee<br /><br />The pictures and video were cute though!

She lived in my kitchen. I eventually got a kitten, Bear, & they got along fine. Then i got another kitten, Bronson. He was the same age as Bear, but they were both 5 months by now. Bronson never knew quite what to think about Butterscotch. <br /><br />I let her run the house sometimes. (She was so funny when she discovered the stairs!) She was out once & Bronson decided to chase her. She played along & they went round & round a couch i had standing away from the wall.<br /><br />Finally Butterscotch decided it was her turn. She stopped & looked at Bronson. He about fell over in surprise! He didn't know what to do! Butterscotch chased him for a while before he found a hiding place. All three are long gone, & i miss their funny antics. We have others who make us laugh, but i miss the ones before, too.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03272307621143522274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391072111621034521.post-63065875584210328902009-05-07T01:08:00.000+01:002009-05-07T01:08:00.000+01:00Cute guinea pigs, one of my daughters would really...Cute guinea pigs, one of my daughters would really like one. :)<br /><br />I had one when young and his name was Squeaky. Our cat would go into his cage and sleep in there, Squeaky loved to chew the cat's hair. They got a long real well. :)Lilyofthevalley - Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09199971915917644549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391072111621034521.post-17640569854730577942009-05-06T22:38:00.000+01:002009-05-06T22:38:00.000+01:00Cute guinea pigs!
