Emma did her stuff a few days ago, a week earlier than
himself expected her to. She littered down and had three babies. One unfortunately
didn’t make it, but the other two were fine. They were two lovely little girls
and they have been named Rosemary and Kate. Rosemary is the quiet one and Kate
the noisy one, who has had a lot to say for herself since the day she was born.
We
all lend a hand baby-sitting when mum goes away to a quiet corner of the pen
for a rest. We, groom them, and let them snuggle up to us when on the rare
occasions when they get tired of pop corning all over the place.
Himself
was hoping for at least one boy that he could put in with the daddy, Mr Bumble,
but Emma decided it had to be girls and you can’t argue with a guinea pig mum.
Emma
and the girls have already been up to the children’s hospital where they were
much admired. The nurses kept picking up the babies, putting them in their
tunic pickets and going off to show their friends. Those nurses are obviously
ladies of great good taste, in knowing a piece of real class when they see it.
Himself
told us that they are staying here with us so we can watch them growing up into
beautiful babes like us. He thinks they are going to be big girls and so do we,
and so they should be, from the amount of suckling they are getting from Emma
and hey, they were both into their dry feed and eating grass when they were only
two day old. We don’t mean the odd nibble here and there, like most babies;
this was full-hearted munching so they are getting a good start in life.
Needless
to say, we have lots of visitors coming in to admire these new additions and
himself is showing off like mad, as though he was dad. mind, it amuses him and
keeps him off street corners.
