Firstly, our lovely little guinea pig Coco died :( I don't know why, he seemed a bit quiet and when I picked him up he was making a funny clicking sound when he breathed in. Thinking maybe he was just annoyed at being picked up, I put him back in the hutch, and left him thinking if he was still the same that afternoon I would make an appointment at the vet. Well by the time I had been out to walk the dog, he had passed away :( I came in, and saw him laid flat out, with Pop sat next to him, and knew straight away, as they didn't often sit together during the day. So, since we'd only had him a week, we took both guinea pigs back to Pets at Home, just in case it was something infectious, we didn't want to risk infecting another guinea, and anyway it was unlikely Pop would accept another male.
I had phoned beforehand and was told we could have another 2 guinea pigs, however when I got there they said they only had 1 for sale, and he was another male, so we wouldn't be able to introduce him to Pop so we returned both guinea pigs. While waiting for them to sort out a refund, I had a wander around, and in the rehoming pen (they rehome some pets for a local centre called 'The Ark') was 2 beautiful baby bunny rabbits named Bubble and Squeak, they had been left as part of an unwanted litter, and needed a home together. Well I have always had a soft spot for rabbits and 1 of them (Bubble) is almost identical to Thumper, the bunny I had growing up, so I decided to take them instead. They are now very settled and happy in their new home, and yesterday we bought them a big playpen to attach to the hutch so they can get a stretch of their legs even when we're not around.
In other news, I got the results from my first assignment on my Open Uni course, I scored 90 out of 100!! I am really pleased, as wasn't sure how well I'd done and was half expecting to fail! It has motivated me to keep going, as I had lost the enthusiasm for it a little but I am back on it now!
We have also just started to wean Sky, which has been lots of fun, she absolutely loves her food! So far she has had baby rice, a Veg and rice mix baby food, mashed banana, and a bit of toast. She is doing really well, we got her weighed yesterday at 21weeks and 2 days, and she now weighs in at 14lb 7oz.
She really isn't as chubby as she looks in this picture, she had a dress and 2 cardigans on as we had been for a walk and it wasn't very warm!
Lastly, I booked tickets this morning to see 'Within Temptation' Joe really likes them, and it's a but of a surprise, I haven't told him I booked tickets yet.. well he reads my blog so if your reading Joe, SURPRISE!!
