HELP PIGGY HURRICANE VICTIMS!

This not a joke. One of the Pigloo people is headed south to help with small animals orphaned by Hurricane Katrina. She is taking donations through Paypal. To help human victims go to Catholicexchange.com.

FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND

Five weeks ago today we buried my cousin Mark. Six months ago my darling Lightning died. I sprinkled his ashes in the garden today, then I had Pippin and Pandora look at them. They will both get extra lettuce tonight.

JANEY'S NEW BABY

Janey and Pippin (formerly Thunder) announce the arrival of their newest family member. Her name is a Pandora, she is a beautiful little one-and-a-half-pound albino (or in cavy circles pink-eyed white). The people at the Alexandria shelter where we got both pigs say she is nine months old. Don't have any pix of her, yet, but here is Pippin's baby picture: http://www.geocities.com/thatjanedoe/Janedoesblog.html

Both pigs have been given a clean bill of health and are adjusting to each other well.
