Well....i have been around long enough to remember 'jmouse'..from
memory he drove a ford cortina and lived in melbourne (aust),
neither of which inspired me much...however if he is lurking would
like to hear from again. Nancy deMarco used to be very active in
this group and was very knowledgable about all things piggy...a
wonderful source of information and advise.

Yes, I remember jmouse - didn't someone spoof his page?

Sadly, as members of herd die, I'm not replacing them. My allergy
doctor told me to get rid of them, but I love the little guys. It's
easier to just let nature take its course. The observation of the vet
was that my pigs seem to live a long time, so I still have awhile.

Thanks for writing, I remember you and as names are mentioned my mind
starts to function.

We still hear from Esther sometimes...and Elisa Butler. I wish jmouse would
drop in.

I've noticed that the number of posts has certainly decreased. I'll try
to pitch in when I can.

Dear "someone",

I'm so sorry to read about your losses. It's hard to find the words to
help with the pain. I'm sending you and your pigs my best thoughts
during this hard time.

I don't know how the others do it. This wonderful group managed to
find words when I was devestated with the loss of my Snow and then
Lola's illness and then death. I don't know what I would have done...

I would have sent my condolences sooner but I haven't been on the forum
lately...

All my best,
Elisa and Daisy and Gerbil-boi

Hello dear group,

I was quite happy to see the "Any old timers out there" thread...I
clicked on it and of course saw the sad news from "someone"...

I thought it best to write a separate email.

I'm still around, BUT the new google forum messed me up. It was hard
to navigate and I barely recognized anyone. Also, when I
stumble upon one of the really horrible emails, I just get too upset.

So hi to "someone", Kelvyn, Mira and Esther! Nice to read you all.

If would be nice to hear from our mysterious jmouse...I actually got
a few direct emails from him "back in the olden days".
I remember asking him if he was a vet because he was so
knowledgeable. He said he wasn't....

We were all so sad when he left the "herd" ;-)

I had the gp forum web site as my main page for all these years...just
up
until a few months ago. The last time I came to visit was when Kelvyn
put up his blog site. I don't use newsgroups, I use :
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...nea-pigs?hl=en

I hope you all get this, but I just don't see how you'll see it unless
you go all the way down to the new message under this topic...hmmm,
what
to do? ;-)

Daisy is fine. She'll be 4 in November. She's still blind and very
spoiled. It's very cool that she can tell time ;-) She gets that
expensive mesclun baby lettuce mix at exactly 8:00 pm! And if not,
she'll really squeek! She still has terrible wet butt...I keep it
trimmed and do a "Volume Tendress" shampoo when needed...love this
French Guinea Pig Shampoo!

I spoke with her sitter, she'd love to take her again this summer. I
am so lucky!

I hate leaving Daisy. I am just crazy about her and she makes me
laugh. I enjoy her company so much. Shame on the airline for not
letting
her come with me.

She did lose a bit of weight last summer...most likely
heat/depression/different feeding schedule...
I'm having the sitter and her daughter come over on Sunday for
coffee and brownies. I'm going to ask Catherine, the sitter, to maybe
treat Daisy differently than her herd...

Don't get her wrong. She is one fantastic pig mom...she's got some
beautiful animals...the thing is that they know they are spoiled pigs,
and Daisy knows she is a spoiled human....;-)

Off I go dear group, I have an email if anyone wants to say hi off
list, just in case, that's butler2146@voila.fr - take out the 46.

My "real" email got totally swamped last year and I had to spend a
bunch of time getting rid of spam...I think Kelvyn has my real one and
so do a few others here...

I'd love to jump in again with my posts...

Anyhow, lots of kisses to the pigs and other pets,

All my best,

Elisa, Daisy and Gerbil-boi (who is almost 2!!! That's getting old for
a gerbil!)

Hi folks

Holly and Snowy are still doing pretty well for 5 1/2. They get a little
tired after a run on the grass! Still cute ;-)

Rarely post these days as we get so much junk mail through! Scan the posts
from time to time, but think our newsgroup server seemed to miss many posts
too!

Originally Adelaide,SA..but i am in New Zealand now. Most
australians are just 'wannabee' new zealanders anyway. (OK,now
I'll go quickly and find somewhere safe to hide for a couple of
days!...maybe join Piggles in its' hidey place.)

Dear Kelvyn.

I guess that New Zealand is THE place to be. ..it's all about NZ now!

I'd like to visit Oz and NZ before my daughter has to start University.
That'll be in about 4-5 years. I can't stand the heat..so ...summer
here is winter there, right? ;-)

I'm on a Web Developer's forum and there are quite a few ozzies and New
Zealanders...so I've leaned a lot about cricket and....there was a huge
fuss about the Pavlova meringue dessert - which was actually done in NZ
with kiwi for the Russian dancer...and of course we can't forget about
the movies that were filmed there!

I can't wait to visit....

All my best, Elisa, Daisy and Gerbil-boi

The Canadians are at it again, seal pup massacre....

Brigitte Bardot nailed them in 1977 and now she's caught them again!
It's still horrible. My daughter printed out the petition and had a
bunch of people sign it at school...

Please do what you can to spread the word...I saw a show today about
it, it's heart-breaking....
