Ruth's Wedding

Last Sat, John and i took the journey up to Harrisburg to attend the wedding of his sister, Ruth.

The drive up to Harrisburg is always pretty- the mountains are really a treat to see.

   

Ruth was beautiful and was so happy- it was nice to see her on her special day

Guinea Pig Manicure

We had to trim Koga's nails last night.  We've done it once before, and she was very good- one of us would hold her, and a carrot, and she happily sat and ate while we clipped her nails. 

Not this time.

She did NOT want the carrot- in fact, as soon as we brought the carrot out, she knew what was in store for her.  I held her- a squiggling mass of fur and teeth, and John clipped her nails.  When we finished, she jumped down and went into the corner to lay down.  John petted her, and she made the angriest chirps and wurble noises i've ever heard.  I felt awful- i know we have to do it, i just hate seeing her in distress- and i don't want her to associate us with panic or fear.  We're supposed to be her protectors, but now i'm afraid she's always going to be suspect.

The things we do...

Every Sunday morning, we get up and go to a local farmer's market that is held at Dupont Circle. It has really gotten to be quite popular and crowded.  We usually go and get fresh vegetables, something to eat for breakfast, but the real reason we get up early and go? 

You guessed it.  For Koga, our guineapig. 

We buy her fresh Kale (leafy green with lots of vitamin C)- i don't know what we will do when the summer is over, becuase she pretty much turns her nose up at store-bought kale.
