This dumb bird dog went after my neighbors chickens and they sure were mad. Told the neighbors the dogs history and said if it's going after chickens, we were killing it. She must have been a member of Peta, she didn't want us to kill the dog.

Was the guinea pig ok? My daughter has a guinea pig farm out at the barn, we really like them. They have a huge pen, about the size of a large living room, with indoor and outdoor runs. I think we are up to about 40 pigs by now. Anybody want one?

Yeah physically he was fine but prefered his cage after that:') I forgot the best one though. We lived in the country in a double wide with a huge front porch and someone left the door open. I was sleeping because I worked nights and I heard all kinds of racket in the kitchen. I was always getting on the kids for running around the counter and I thought they were home from school playing . I opened my bedroom door and white fur flying everywhere. He had chased a rabbit into my house. I'm half asleep and chasing a dog around the house that was chasing the bunny. I finally tackled him and the rabbit went out the door.

I love guinea pigs:) My dad was never an animal lover of any kind. We never had much more then turtles and gold fish. Then, I think I was about a 6th grader and a friend of my brothers showed up at our house when our parents weren't there. He asked if we wanted a guinea pig. We took it:)

Dad let us keep her. She was so cool. She ran loose so much because we played with her so much, that she actually became potty trained. Always went on a throw rug by the back door, and lived under a little foot stool by the fridge. We had to learn to open the fridge door only one time while clearing the supper table because she thought she should have a carrot everytime it opened. She'd run out and squeak till we gave her one. She also would come curl up by us at night when we laid on the floor watching TV. We could turn her cage upside down in the grass so she could be outside in the sun. One neighborhood cat use to come and sit and watch her. She'd squeak loud then too, till we would come run it off. She was a really neat pet, and my dad even got where he liked her. Enough that some years later he brought home a dog for my mom. Of course by then Sugar, the guinea pig was getting older (how long do they live anyway), and thought the house was hers. I didn't think it fair, but mom found another home for Sugar because she would bite the puppy, when the puppy wanted to play with her.

Funny thing about Sugar, when we first got her, we thought she was a he. Named her Butch. Once day she was sitting looking out the back screen door and the big door caught a draft and swung shut on her leg. Mom took her to the vet. Her leg was just bruised but he told us that Butch was a funny name for a girl:)
