You absolutely may not sort through your wardrobe. That skirt is mine I tell you!

 

[chriswill]

Bathtime fun!

 

[Looby]

Aww. [emoji5]️ What's he/she like in the bath? Mine are really good but Albert goes apeshit if you try to wash his head/face.
When he was a puppy he was so bad, one of us would get in to hold him and we'd have to strip to our pants. [emoji1]

That is not the face of a puppy that's having fun!

More like "why are you doing this to me? WHY?!"

 

[chriswill]

She wasn't really.

However, if you roll about in mud, you must face the consequences

She wasn't too bad. It's her first one. Next time will be the test lol

Gizdog stands there looking at me with shock and disappointment like I've just kicked him if I put him in the bath, so we do outside baths with the hose instead and he jumps about trying to bite the water.

 

[Looby]

I haven't tried the hose, will do next summer when it's hot. [emoji41]

 

[Mogden]

Sister Mogden and her wife give the doggies a rinse by rubbing on shampoo and taking them to their favourite swimming lake or clean pond. Bio friendly shampoo of course.

When we lived on the streets I used to take him up to the top floor of a carpark in the summer and spray him with the fire hose

Albino Giant African Land Snails having a calci bath. Four will remain with us but the pile up ones (25) will go to homes in the spring. Pm me if you are interested in having some. They need heat mat and thermostat at 26° and a glass tank is best. They live on coir soil and eat fresh veg and fruit. Also a source of calcium such as cuttlefish or snail mix as demonstrated here .....

 

[Manter]

he has ignored his upstairs water bowl for months... Today I accidentally kicked it under a cabinet and it is suddenly fascinating

Griff: Pre and Post Haircut!

Pets in bed last weekend

 

[madamv]

Oh Griff! What has he done to you!!!

 

[Dovydaitis]

(((Griff)))

Hey, if I didn't trim his fur, he'd be tripping over his sideboards!

I think I've mentioned it before, but I've kept (thoroughly washed of course) nearly all of the fur resulting from his bi-monthly or so shearings over the past 5 1/2 years. It's actually enough to stuff a decent sized cushion. It's too short to spin for wool, but might work mixed with something like Alpaca for felting. I'm looking for a course on how to do this. But if anyone has any idea what I can do with a whole lot of guinea pig wool, let me know.

PS: Yes, I know it's weird.

 

[Dovydaitis]

Would you make him a jumper?

 

[CRI]

Would you make him a jumper?

I thought about a felt beret, but I have enough wool to make berets for probably 20 guinea pigs!

my partner who does craft stuff, started felting recently and who loves Griff and Mal has just been laughing a LOT as i read this post, especially the 'wool'

Griff: ...Post Haircut!

Aww, he looks like a badly shaven scrotum.

 

[Orang Utan]

Aww, he looks like a badly shaven scrotum.

You must have the weirdest scrotum

 

[Jackobi]

You must have the weirdest scrotum

It's the pube like nature of his straggly bits, and general roundness from that perspective.

I've spent many a time admiring Griff, it's not meant to be demeaning in any way.
