Somewhere To Be Sunday
Well it was nice while it lasted. The sunshine went away yesterday evening, making way for a horrible thunderstorm. Luckily whee spent some time out enjoying the garden while it was nice.
Mummy always thinks I look funny in the garden as I bustle around a lot, like I’ve got somewhere to be! What she doesn’t know is that I am like a guard. Just call me the Cavy Crusader! I am watching out for threats! Those mischievous magpies, sly sparrows, cunning cats (Sorry kitty furfriends but you have not seen the way next doors kitty Lucky McFluff looks at us! Whee are not lunch!) and don’t even bring up that troublesome toad. See, somefurry has to watch out and sound the alarm if danger approaches. I know Mummy sits out so she might see but two pairs of eyes are better than one.
I may have sounded the alarm prematurely sixteen a couple of times before by wheeking at the top of my lungs and sending efurryone dashing for cover when I saw shadows or something flew past but it’s better safe than sorry, right?!
I don’t usually stay still long enough for good pigtures outside but Mummy got caught me by surprise by hiding round the back of our tent as I made my perimeter checks. Of course this caused one of my false alarms and I don’t think anyfurry will believe me next time. It’s like that story of the boy who cried wolf cavy who squeaked cat.
Ah well, at least inside I have a better view of the entrances and exits. Nothing will get passed me in there!

It amazed me that even at six hours old, my babies assumed the typical herbivore defense position where they were facing opposite directions lying next to each other to afford a 360-degree view of everything.
Why do I think that if you were a squirrel you would be the type to throw whole fir cones?
Hmmm maybe the squirrels have it right. Whee need some form of attack. Poop missiles maybe?!!

As a guard piggy I bet you scare away lots of potential danger!
I probably scare them before they even get close enough for the hoomans to notice!

False alarms are all part of being vigilant. Keep your eyes peeled, B. this is important work you are doing.
Love and licks,

They’re not false alarms . . . more like practices. Like fire drills!

Is your tent the thing with the paws on it? Doesn’t it remind you off a cats’ of dogs’ paws? Whee think it looks a bit scary. With all of that danger, whee can see you have Nacho as your double for stunts. Whee love your new banner, we enjoy seeing the furry you. Love Peaches, Daisy, Cinnamon and Snuggles xxxx
Yep that paw thing is my tent. Whee have a few but this is our favourite and it only cost the hoomans £1 in the market as it was a display copy they wanted to sell off!!

No cats or dogs included whee hope? xxxx
If they don’t listen, you can always have fun later telling them “I told you so!”
I could! At least then I can hide and giggle at them! *evil cackle*
