Okay folks- we almost lost her. We put Porka (our guinea pig) outdoors in her pen like we do everyday. Only this time when I went to go get her, she wasn't moving at all! I freaked. I squirted her with a squirt bottle and tried feeding her. I put her in her cage and she just laid on her side like she'd given up hope to live. After many lies told to my kids and panicked tears shed, I called my animal master friend- Melissa to help. Bless her soul!
You see- something you should know is I am not entirely comfortable yet with our little animal. I am baby stepping it to understanding her. Melissa scooped Porka up into a cool bath and gave her eyedroppers of water as she pried open her lips...- she saved her life.
My assumption is she stayed in her plastic house out in the heat of the sun and baked herself. And I took these pictures quickly when I thought "the end" was near so my kids could remember her. As you can tell they had no idea what I was up to. phew.
So, I was milling some flour- walked into my kitchen and it was snowing! Flour was everywhere!- I mean EVERYwhere. The air was all thick and it had covered every surface in my house while my mill just kept humming right along. I panicked, then realized it was one of those moments where the damage has already been done, so what do you do? Piper came in and asked- "mommy, why are you yelling and why is it snowing?" So, we both laughed and I grabbed the camera...
