When the rat is away, the cat will play!



My good news today is that I may have found a new home for Phil, the guinea pig. My flight attendant friend, Melissa has a 9 year old daughter and they are going to give Phil a try. Before now, Phil had not really been out of his cage much. I have been acclimating him to my lap, couch and have let him run around the floor a bit. He seems very happy. When Phil is in his cage he runs into his hovel whenever I enter the room however out and about he is great and very social with the other critters. In spite of Sadie and Bogie head butting and licking him all over, thing are looking good for 'ole Phil.

Not to blame Phil, I probably had him out too long.....I was holding him and my chest began to get very warm......yuck, Phil pee! I guess that it could have been worse!

The title I used the other day, parts is parts, I had heard my dad say that several times through the years so I asked my Mom where that came from. My uncle Sammy had a character of a friend named Howard, lots of stories came from Howard. One day, probably on their way fishing, Howard and Sam stopped at some dive to eat. On the menu it said "chicken parts" Being curious, Howard asked what parts of the chicken would those be? I can only imagine the waitress to be a surly Flo type and she replies...Parts is Parts!!
