Davis and Rylee

It’s been done.
Rylee and Davis have come back from the docs. They seem to be missing something. Um, their ego? That and something else too, something very personal and important. They’ve gone and lost their jiggles! The both are resting, being treated like royalty actually. Nice comfy cage, lots of fleece and all the soy milk they want. I never get soy milk. *pout pout*

Now, I wonder if Davis will be bullying us anymore?
Heehee I know it’s not funny, especially cause Ma gave me that look like as if I’m next or something. She can’t be serious… is she?

Blueberries...

Fruit of the gods.

Yep, Ma gave us some blueberries the other day. Not the big thick pucks from over the border,  those are not a favourite of ours but the sweet yummy frozen kind. Sure we'll eat the big ones, breaking them open and dragging the snot like flesh all over the place, eating a bit, playing with the rest. But Ma gave us the frozen ones, no, they weren't frozen still when we got it. Ma made sure it was thawed out, still in it's juices, tiny, succulent little gems. I love blueberries. We all gobbled it fast. Some of us dived in both feet, grabbed as much as they can in their mouthed and scurried off for a good hiding place. Little did they know they left behind a blueberry juice trail. heehee. We easily found their precious hiding spot. Funny thing though Ma was constantly after us, wiping up the floor quite frantically. What? It's not like blueberries stain? Oh, they do?

Well... consider this: a study showed that older rats fed on blueberries had the ability and balance of a younger rat. You see, according to those scientists, young rats can balance on a beam for 11 seconds meanwhile older rats can only stand it for 3 or 5 seconds but those fed blueberries were able to balance for 13 seconds. AWESOME!!! Not only that, rats fed blueberries suffered less neurological events. AWESOME!

Bring on the blueberries!!! YUM! Oh and get me some beams and tight rope while you're at it, will you?

Yep, it's that time of year again and Ma is older. But you know what's the real kicker? We are the one that got all the nummies. Yep, we got a mixed green salads, oh boy, baby romaine, frise, raddichio, red and green leaf lettuces, oh man, I'm drooling just talking about it. Yep, I love it when it's Ma's birthday.

A Celebrity!




I'm so excited!! Ma took some videos of us, me and my posse and she put them up on some public place. We are actually getting lots of people writing how cute we are. I'm so thrilled. Well, I knew I was handsome but it doesn't hurt to hear it or read it several times. So the place is called YouTube, funny name, don't quite understand why they would name it that, I mean, I love my tubes but what's that got to do with videos? Tubes are for sleeping and for hiding out from bullies. heehee.
So here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qItqr7X-igk
So please feel free to comment, make sure you post about my good looks, how cuddly I am, I look so soft, I'm very black... gosh, I'm just so good looking, you might want to bookmark that place and keep going back to look at me. By the way, I am single and looking. ;)
Bring romaine.

I'm still here...

But I'm in hiding right now. There's a rumour going around, me and the boys aren't liking it one bit. Again, it's all Jorge's fault. Yep, he had his jiggles removed and he's been a fun little buddy ever since. So what's the problem? Ma is so happy with Jorge, she's decided we all need our jiggles removed. WHAT? I'm soooo worried. I don't want to lose my jiggles, I love them, really I do. Ma says we'll all be happier if we lose them. She says the doctor is very nice and she will take good care of us. I hear that Davis and Rylee are first. Now, those two really need it. They are all over the cage, bossing us around but really, I don't know why Boo, Captain and me need it... really, there's no need, honest.
Well, at least we got broccoli today.
