JANEY'S NEW BABY!
Janey and Pandora proudly announce the newest addition to their family. She is a brown and white Abyssinian sow, adopted from the Montgomery County Humane Society, and is anywhere from four to ten months old. Her name is Perpetua after Bridget Jones’ boss and after St. Perpetua who was also a nursing mother. Unfortunately for her, her shelter name was “Beet,” her two children, whom I believe will be adopted by someone else soon, are “Beet I” and “Beet II.”
Here is her picture, she is much cuter up close:

PIGSTRAVAGANZA!
The date for the Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue annual pignic has been set!
Date: Sunday, October 5, 2008
Time of the Event: 12:00 pm until 4:00 pm
Location: Reisterstown Regional Park Pavilion 401 Mitchell Drive, Reisterstown
http://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/Agencies/recreation/countyparks/regionalparks/reisterstown.html
This is a fun-filled day for all--including your piggies. For those of you newbies out there, our Fall PIGSTRAVAGANZA! Pignic is held under a pavilion, and next to a grassy area. There is plenty of room for piggie playpens. And, no need to worry about the grass, as it's not treated. Those of you who have piggies sensitive to clover, though, may want to be careful where you place your pen or bring a "pignic blanket" to place under your pen.
This event will include: - A Bake Sale with yummy goodies, and maybe even cookies for your piggies! - Our MGPR t-shirt will be availabe for purchase, for both members and non-members. - Various educational materials such as books and health journals will be available for purchase. - Supplies such as Oxbow products, and Carefresh bedding will be available for purchase to members and non-members at a rate cheaper than most retail stores. - We will also hold TWO raffles this year! - And of course, our quirky but fun piggy awards will be handed out to those irresistable little piggies in attendance.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, BABY!
Poor Baby Pandora. Her 4th birthday was two weeks ago today, but I didn't mention it here, what with the tornado and Pippin being overnite at the vet's. Here is her Horoscope from Holiday Mathis:
"When you're hot, you're hot. You'll be chased and courted this year. You're not playing hard to get; rather, you have plenty outside of love to occupy your attention, so you actually are hard to get. This translates into financial opportunity in August. Family healings happen in September. Sagittarius and Aquarius are your avid supporters. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 2, 6, 49 and 14."
A couple days ago Pandora got what she needed most -- a butt cut. Of course she acted mortally wounded.
Here is Pippin's horoscope (May 8th):
"TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (MAY 8). You make your mark in the world this year. You're not content to be standing in the background, playing your family role or slaving away at work you don't even like. You're motivated to do what it takes to shine and move ahead this month. Shared activities in June heal a relationship. Sagittarius and Virgo adore and support you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 20, 1, 15 and 10."
We have only spent one of his six birthdays together, as I am usually in Puerto Rico then.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABY
Today is baby Pandora's third birthday, as far as anyone can tell.
Holiday Mathis sez "you're sharing yourself on a whole new level and discovering fulfilling emotional intimacy with loved ones. Ask for what you need, and you get more and then some! You're a social butterfly during the next five weeks. Plant money ideas in July, and they grow by September. Travel in August. Sagittarius and Libra people wow you with affection. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 30, 23, 4 and 12."
Pippin's birthday was May 8: "This year will be unlike any other! Expect world-class breakthroughs and plenty of support for your ideas — spend the next eight weeks communicating them. If looking, career changes come together in August. You'll find romance at ordinary spots just around the corner. Cancer people are fabulous; Pisces people, arguably passionate. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3, 31, 35 and 41."
Unfortunately both were at the vet's for Pippin's birthday, they did get extra veggies when I got back. Today both of them are getting extra veggies.
