Encountered a pet that I had never seen before at Petco. Can you guess
what they are? Hint: They are very quick (my first 4 pictures were
blurry) and very curious and very friendly. They like to snack from
their hay bag.
These
"Skinny pigs" (marketing name) are mostly hairless guinea pigs. Their
unique appearance is the result of a spontaneous genetic mutation among a
group of lab guinea pigs.
The herd that I saw at Petco
seemed to be so much livelier and people oriented than the more
familiar guinea pigs with hair housed beside them. Don't know if this
is a trait of the skinny pigs or just of this particular group but they
were darn cute.
As a little girl, I always wanted a pony for Christmas. Santa never brought me a pony. So in my late 40s, I started taking horseback riding lessons. When I turned 50, I got my first horse, an Icelandic named Blessi (Veigar frá Búðardal). Little did I know how much fun life with an Icelandic was going to be. Blessi has a unique perspective on life. I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoy Blessi. And you will probably read about my cats from time to time.
