Clever guinea pigs

Our little guinea pigs Eetu and Kasper are munching asparagus as I type and they are looking cute indeed! 
Now, this Sunday is election day, but also, according to the Finnish calender, Eetu's nameday. And what a popular little piggy he is! According to the Population Registeration Centre, Eetu was the most popular male name last year! Yup, 491 kids were also named Eetu. 
My boyfriend wants you to know about another special guinea pig, Viki. Viki belonged to Timo's family. Timo's late mum used to enter all the family members names when she entered a competition and one year little Viki won 4 winter tires!
When I heard that story, I thought that should I enter Eetu and Kasper's names each time I spot a competition, but with my luck it's Kasper who wins a trip to New York instead of me...

Here are our guinea pigs! Eetu is the light brown one on the right.
Eetu: My name is the most popular male name! Hah hah! Now give me your asparagus.
Kasper: Big whoop. I'm the cutest and everybody thinks so.

Only 30% of guinea pigs can smell asparagus in urine. The rest are like me.

of that cat scan, it looks like Kasper must mean 'snackpack'."

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Not that I would have noticed. Our guinea pigs just love asparagus! They eat it very quickly indeed. They love carrot, cucumber (which they get only a small slice) and hay and salad as well. Good examples for kids!
That is one scary cat...  Hmm... Eetu misbehaves sometimes. Maybe I should print a pic of that cat and show it to E each times he's been naughty...
