Good news everyone, Oscar has had a very successful vet trip and came back with a clean bill of health! Even his bum was spotless. The vet that I took him to, to my suprise, ALSO owns multiple guinea pigs. I was very happy to hear that because he can relate to all the worries that owners have. You can read as many books as you want but I think the real learning experience comes from owning one. Anywho, it was a good day for him.

As far as parsley goes, I just bought some today and hes been munching it down. It seems like a pretty big hit. Anything that is green and has some form of a leaf on it he seems to enjoy. I wanted to buy him so red and green leaf lettuce but the store didnt have much and what they did have looked a little wilted, so Ill have to wait on that. I stocked up on plenty of parsley, endive, romaine (2 bags worth), and Zuchinni (hes not too sure about that one yet). For those special days, I also have grapes, oranges, apples and cucumber. For Christmas this year, I do believe Ill be asking santa for a mini-fridge.

A couple of other good things happened today that are guinea pig related. I bought some cheapy diapers and are trying them underneath his favorite tinkle spots so hopefully that will work well. I got 40 of them for only 5 bucks so it seemed like a good deal. I also got some new fleece for the fall. I went to walmart and we found some extra thick fleece with a wool-like texture on the top. Im wicking it right now and I think he'll really enjoy it. Its so soft and very thick so it should be a great absorber. All thats left to do is make a cuddle sack out of it!
