Pets.
Amber
Age: 10-11 years
Breed: Cocker Spaniel
AKA: Beautiful, Baby, Dog, Lovey
Tricks: Basic obedience
(sit, stay, lay down), Roll Over, Shake paws, Wave, Crawl, Wait, Go Find
Bio: Adopted at the Gwinnett Humane Society when she was
about 2 years. Very
anti-social towards strangers, but otherwise very lovable. Her bark is worse than her bite, except for
that one time she bit the plumber by accident.
Adorably pudgy.
Once swallowed a rubber superball that blocked
her system and she had to have surgery to remove it. Has under active thyroid, hip dysplasia and
has developed arthritis.
Jacen
Age: 3-4 years
Breed: Guinea pig mutt (Abbyssianian/
Peruvian, I think)
Previous Name: Jacen was
previously Cheddar. I’ve
renamed all of my guinea pigs to date.
Renamed After: one of Princess Leia’s twins
AKA: Little Man, Little Boy, Mister, Pig
Favorites: Boxes, hay of all sorts, bananas, sleep
Bio: Unusually
large for a guinea pig – not just fat, but long too. I originally was going to be the foster home
for him and his buddy Jaina. They were supposedly given up because they had a
litter, but I wound up keeping the pair and they never had any more babies. Jaina died from rabbit-borne pneumonia and
Caliban was adopted to keep him company, but Caliban
died of a swift respiratory infection 7 months later. In three months two little guinea girls were
adopted and he now lives with them in a double condo.
LambChop
Age: Less than 1 year
Breed: Himalayan Abbyssinian guinea
pig
Previous name: Kelly
Renamed After: The puppet,
obviously.
AKA: Pig, Schmutz
Favorites: She loves life
in general
Bio: Sister of Casey. Both were given
up to the Atlanta Humane Society sometime in December, featured on their
website on my birthday, and adopted in February. They act like sisters (nosing each other out
of the way, stealing food, nibbling hair, etc.) or otherwise show what’s known
in guinea pig circles as “bonded pair behavior”. LambChop’s a very
adventurous little escape
artist and likes to flirt with Jacen through the
partition. She is an avid hair eater and
keeps Casey trimmed short and nibbles on Jacen and Amber when she can reach
them, but has never had a hairball problem.
She does have a few bald spots though.
Mecaselin
Age: Less than 1 year
Breed: Shorthair (or possibly a Silkie
but LambChop eats her hair so we may never know)
Previous name: Jenny
Renamed After: A road we passed
on the way home from the shelter
AKA: Casey, Scaredy Pig
Favorites: Hiding in her tent, oatmeal tubes
Bio: Sister of LambChop. Both were given
up to the Atlanta Humane Society sometime in December, featured on their
website on my birthday, and adopted in February. She is the more timid of the two but is
faster to make friends with people with food.
Bunny
Age: 2-5 yrs, probably
Breed: Small and gray.
I’m not too familiar with rabbit types.
Previous name: Not renamed, though “
AKA: Funny Bunny, Chubby Bunny, Monster
Tricks: Up (on a shelf), Stay
Favorites: Yogurt treats
Bio: Given up for
unclear/contradicting reasons, I volunteered to be Bunny’s foster home when she
showed up at the Humane Society one day.
She’s brave, very smart, very fussy, and litter trained. She can be affectionate. She likes to follow people when she thinks no
one’s looking and to play with the cuffs of pants. *BUNNY IS LOOKING FOR A
PERMANENT HOME. Email me for
