When Pigs Fly


Today was the weekly "clean the guinea pig's cage day". Chancellor loves this event, and tries to grab the garbage bag, take away the scoop as I'm scooping out shavings, and his favorite part comes at the end... jumping and rolling in the new shavings as I pour them out - like a kid in a pile of leaves! Today he was on the 2nd level and I had scoop in hand just below him when he decided to jump down. He landed on the scoop and went for a little magic carpet-like ride to the lower level! So pigs actually DO fly! He got covered with shavings when he tumbled down (he's not very graceful) and it was really funny. He didn't seem the least bit embarrassed, and acted like he'd planned it to happen that way. What a funny pig!
