Random comments of the day.

Just figured I'd post up the random thoughts and occurrences of life at Samsara cavies. This is after all more a record then anything else.

The Compendium has been met with great interest and I've had 19 orders for it so far in the past two days since advertising it. Might not be much to some, but that represents two separate Sydney shows worth of petrol right there, which in my books is absolutely excellent! I have a very busy week ahead of me to get it all loaded on CD's and ready to be posted out, or available for sale at the NSW show or sent with a friend to the National.  I now need to buy more supplies for it....

Manny managed to keep his butt wrapper in overnight which made me very happy. I've put the side wrappers aside for now as his coat just isn't long enough. I also need to talk to some longhair show people about trimming the hair around his privates. He keeps getting his coat stuck in his penis and it's clearly uncomfortable, but I'm not sure how much I can trim.

Ebony had her first proper haircut since her coat grew back from her hormonal hair loss. She has a nice respectable uber thick bowl cut without all those weird wispy bits now. I also gave her a very good comb to make sure there's no mini knots developing (there wasn't). So apart from needing a good wash she's now ready for the show Sunday week. She's entered as a pet. When I have a minute I really have to bring up the possibility of introducing clipped long classes.

Eddies diarrhea finally abated after multiple doses of probiotic. It wasn't true diarrhea, just mushy and annoying. I'll just ahve to be careful to keep him away from corflute in the future.

Feather is up to 780g and is slowly but steadily working his way back to health.

All pigs are up 20-60g in the past week. Nia and Manny are both up 60g and the older pigs are up 20-30g. Manny is going to be ginormous as an adult, he's at 680g already at just two and a half months old. Nia is at a more respectable 580g as Ebbie is working diligently at keeping her in breeding condition.
