Hand me the comic section!

Uh, if you can phind it, that is.

Wondering what this is? Simple! Kieran and Michelle philled my house with crumpled up newspaper for me to play in!

And I LOVE it!

Most of the pictures looked like this because I was running around and moving so much!

"Ooh, I didn't know newspapers came with CARROTS!"

"Hmm, stocks are up."

After I was done playing in the newspapers, I curled up and slept in them! This isn't a picture of me sleeping, but Kieran said she didn't want to wake me so she didn't take a picture.

Camping?

Ugh, I really must start posting blog posts more often.


Anyway, I have a short little post phor you today. =D




Almost everyone was up pretty early this morning, especially Kelsey, who had already been up phor a while when I woke up, and I tend to wake up pretty early myself. So they were all apparently getting Katie and Kelsey ready to go on a camping trip. Camping? As in nature? Phor a minute I wanted to go with them- Until they said that alot of dogs were going to be there. Don't get me wrong, I have no problems with dogs, it's just that I don't know any of the dogs that would be going on the camping trip and I'm not sure if any of those dogs would think that a small phurry creature like me would be a phun chasing toy and/or snack.... So I stayed home with the rest of the humans. But that's okay because I know that Katie and Kelsey are going to have a great time and that's good!

Oh, speaking of dogs, Kieran has the job of taking care of Katie's three dogs and two rats while she is gone, but Kieran told me not to worry, and that she'd still have plenty of time phor me!

Speaking of dogs again,

here are some phun pictures of Merlin's tail, which Katie had dyed red and blue for the phourth of July! Don't worry, it's not permanent! I think that she just wanted to try it out since she wouldn't be here over the phourth, so Merlin got to run around with a very colorful tail! Let your phlag WAG!



(When this picture was taken the colors were starting to phade so it's kind of hard to see, but I hope you can get the idea!)

Phineas' List of Things To Do Over The Summer

Eeek! Summer! Here already?
Well, it's been here for a little while, I guess.

Anywho!
I've created a list of things I would like to accomplish while summer is here. Like a New Year's Resolution! Except phor the summer...Heehee!

• Explore the places I haven't been in the backyard
  
• Redecorate my house- I'm thinking Phigloo goes upsidedown.
  
• Build a wall between my house and The Bird's. I may need a little help with this one...
  
• Or I could try to be phriends with them....Although this plan has phailed many times.
  
• Get a tan. I'm so pale it's almost like I'm pure white. (*insert rimshot here*)
  
• Blog more!
  
• Eat more veggies!
  
• Get some exercise.
  I'm getting chubby from all of that Timothy Hay..LOL..*pats stomach*
  
• Get Sean to hooolldddd meeeeee phinalllyyyy!
  

So there you have it! I'm sure I'll think of some more things to put onto the list, but phor now, I'll work on getting the ones I have already finished!

I don't need eyebrows....

So, Katie apparently thinks I need eyebrows. So a phew days ago she decided to draw some on my phace with a makeup crayon. She made them look all huge and bushy. Well, maybe she did have a good reason....Earlier that day Kieran and Colleen had drawn some SMALL eyebrows on Jonas(Katie's dog.) and they weren't even noticeable! Pshh...Katie's payback was so uncalled phor! Or at least, in my book is was. Kieran had to wash the eyebrows off of my phace with a wet washcloth. Some of you may know that I hate water, and so that wasn't a very nice experience phor me. And they didn't even come off all the way! So phor the next phew days I had little gray marks over my eyes. I don't need eyebrows. Grrr....

Anyway,

Michelle and Kieran go to the park every Phriday to meet up with their homeschool group, and I've been trying to convince Kieran to let me go with them sometime. I've only gone with them once. I'd really like to go again. Even though all of the little kids can't stop saying, "Awww, what's his name?" and "Is he a Rat or something?" Sigh. No, I am not a Rat. But oh well, I can handle that. I like going to the park. And I need to go before it gets really hot out.

'Tis all for now.

I'm baaaaaack!

Ah, dear phollowers.

It's quite obvious that I haven't posted in a little while. Well, actually....a long while. *Heheh..*

But I do have a legitimit reason.

My human phamily has been having some troubles with their computer, so I haven't been able to log on.

I know, it was torture for me, too.



So let's see....
Phirst of all;

I hope you all had a great holiday season and a happy new year!



Now, let's get down to buisness!

Update time!



I've been doing really well since I last posted.
I got my nails trimmed, ate lots of vegetables, and ran around outside alot. I also had several baths, but hey, lets not talk about the negative, shall we? My human phamily is doing good, also. As well as the other animals in the house. Yes, even The Birds. Kieran has been taking lots of pictures of me lately, so I will try and get some of those up ASAP. Jessyca has been visiting alot as of late, and I think that I like her a little bit more now. But she's still-and always will be- my mortal enemy.

Here is some exciting news-
My birthday* is coming up soon! Phebuary 10th, to be exact. I've never had a birthday before, so I am really excited! Almost every day now, Kieran walks by my house and says, "Phinny! Your birthday is on the way! And we're gonna paaartaaay!".
I think she might be even more excited than me....(haha)

*It is important that you know that I use the term 'birthday' here loosely, as it's not technically my birthday, but more like the anniversary of the day that Kieran adopted me.



As 2008 ends and 2009 begins, I would like to take the time to remember someone.
Emo was Kieran's first Guinea Pig, and he passed away back in 2007. I never met Emo, but from what the humans say about him, I can tell he was a wonderphul Guinea Pig, and that he is still dearly missed to this day. Rest in peace phorever, fellow Guinea.



Happy New Year, everyone.

"You Found Me" - The Fray

My phavorite phabulous Phiggle phoods.

Hello once again, dear phollowers!
I've decided for your entertainment/informational pleasure, I shall post a list of my phavorite phoods!

We shall start with....

• Carrots: Kieran usually gives me one or two baby carrots, or a handful of slices from a normal-sized carrot.
• Phresh grass: Yes, you heard right! Phresh grass is a really good phood for us piggies! Alot of times when Kieran takes me outside, I help myself to some grass. It's really good. Although, Kieran knows not to pheed me any grass that was cut by a lawnmower. And she also always remembers to not give me any grass that was/is treated with pesticides. Yuck!
• Cucumbers: Cucumbers don't have much nutritional value, but they do have a higher water content and are a really good treat for me(and all piggies!) when it gets hot outside. I guess phor humans, it would be like a Popsicle. :)
• Apples: I love apples! Kieran leaves the peel on, and makes sure that I don't eat any of the core. Apples are kind of like piggie candy, because-as most phruits do-, apples have natural sugar in them. So that is why when I do get apples, Kieran only gives me one or two slices.
• Seedless grapes: My phavorite kind of grapes are the green ones, but the purple grapes are yummy, too! Grapes are kind of just a side-dish when I get my phood, so usually I just get one or two small ones. And Kieran only gives me seedless grapes. That's very important.
• Corn: Corn is really good, and I like it either on the cob, or separated. Kieran just told me that she wants to buy me some of the big, whole corn cobs for two reasons. One- Because I love corn! And two- Because Guinea Pigs can also eat the leaves off of the corn cobs!
• Celery: When Kieran gives me celery, she usually gives me half of a stick, cut up into small pieces. Why small pieces? Because celery is very stringy, and so by cutting it up into small pieces, it helps avoid any risk of choking.
• Oranges: Oranges are one of my most phavorite phoods, they are high in vitamin C, which is what piggies like myself need most.
• Green beans: And last but not least, the green beans. Kieran never gives me any of the canned green beans, but only the phresh ones. One or two at a time.

There you have it! Those are my top most phavorite phoods!

Hmmm...I guess it wouldn't hurt to add a list of phoods that piggies shouldn't eat, just so if any of you have a Piggie and want to make sure you're not pheeding him/her anything you shouldn't be.

• Iceburg lettuce
• Cabbage
• Cauliflower
• Raw beans
• Nuts or seeds
• Rhubarb
• NEVER chocolate
• Dairy products- i.e Cheese, ice cream, etc
• Things like cookies or bread (Aww, no cookies for me?)
• Any type of packaged/store bought pet phood besides Guinea Pig phood
• Popcorn/dried corn kernels
• Very sugary phoods
• Any phried phoods
• And just for the record- NEVER chocolate.

"Human" - The Killers

Gadzooks! Grasshoppers!

Oh. My. Gosh.



Why do Grasshoppers have to come in such large sizes?
And why, I ask you, must they HOP? Specifically in phront of me!

I am not a phan of bugs, insects or any kind of creature in that category. My Human phamily isn't very bothered by them, but think about it- Grasshoppers are teensy compared to the Humans, but they are rather large compared to me!



Now, at this point of this post, you may be asking yourself; "Why oh why, is Phineas ranting about Grasshoppers?"

I'll tell you why-

Because one was IN my house!



Here's how it all went down-

Earlier tonight, I was simply minding my own buisness and sitting inside my Phigloo, when suddenly, I heard a noise. So I wandered out of my Phigloo and looked around, when there, right in phront of me, was the biggest Grasshopper I had ever seen!

It was popping around my cage like it owned the place! I was worried that it would make a mess of my wonderful house!



Phinally, Kieran came over and saw the Grasshopper. This is what she said;

"EEEEEEEEK!"

I kid you not, dear phollowers. So then she dissapeared and returned only moments later with a piece of bright pink paper. She then began trying to scoop the Grasshopper out of my cage. I think I heard her laughing at some point. That wasn't phunny! I usually am a very brave Phig, but that Grasshopper was HUGE! So I quickly retreated to the green-plastic safety of my Phigloo.

I watched as Kieran tried and phailed many times to get the Grasshopper out of my house, before she phinally managed to scoop it up on the paper and put it outback.





What a relief!

But I'll tell you this, dear phollowers-

Grasshoppers are not meant to hop inside a Guinea Pig house! I should have a sign on my wall that says "Private property! No Grasshoppers allowed!"



But at least THAT ordeal is over.

Adventures in the backyard!

Because Michelle was out of the house today, Kieran had the job of watering the many(MANY) trees, bushes, and vegetables(yum..) that are in Michelle's garden. And I got to go out with her. First I sat in the grass sunbathing while she watered the plants on and around the porch, then she watered the trees and I ran around the yard. I was sooooo speedy! You should've seen me, in all my awesome speedy-ness!
Anyway-
Then we moved to the vegetable garden, my favorite part! Kieran had to keep pulling me away from the vegetables. Home grown vegetables are the best.

Except Cabbage. Even though cabbage is very tasty, it causes Guinea Pigs to get bloated and become very gassy. Which isn't pleasant for me. (OR Kieran!)
So I try to stay away from the Cabbage. No matter how tempting it looks and smells!

Back to my adventure!
We moved to another part of the yard after Kieran was done taking care of the plants, and she let me run around in the tall grass in the yard. She kept kneeling down next to me and singing "Eye of The Tiger"! Plus she kept singing random songs she made up. I think one of them was called "Speedy Piggie"......though slightly embarrassing, it was entertaining. Heh...phunny humans. After I was done running around in the grass, Kieran put me on the swinging bench outside and sat next to me for a while. It's quite relaxing, that swinging bench. Plus, I get alot of sun sitting there. And I absolutely love sitting in the sun.

After that, Kieran took me onto the porch so I could run around on the concrete and file my nails down a bit.
Then we went inside and Kieran gave me some veggies, which might have been the best part of the day!

Happy Halloween, dear phollowers!


Ah, yes. Halloween. Even though tonight was my phirst Halloween, I phind that I quite like it! The costumes! The parties! And of course, the candy!
Kieran wanted to make me a vampire cape for my costume, but she said she phorgot. (Very suspicious....)
Next year I will make sure that she doesn't phorget. I would love to dress up!
Also, I do wish to go trick-or-treating next year. It sounds like so much phun! Although I bet Kieran wouldn't let me have any of the candy...:( Chocolate isn't good for me. But I'd be happy to trade my candy for some carrots! Oh! Oh! Jack-o-Lanterns would be really phun, too! My human phamily didn't make Jack-o-Lanterns this year. But I think that they made
Jack-o-Turnips or something like that. This year Kelsey dressed up as a phairy. She was so adorable! Almost as adorable as me, in phact.
Kieran was a gypsy. Although she looked kinda like a pirate, if you ask me. But whatever phloats your boat.

Kieran went to a Halloween party tonight instead of going trick-or-treating. She told me that she had a really good time, and that the people there were really loud and noisy. Sounds like my kind of crowd!
She also told me that among the crowd, some of the costumes were;
"The Scream", a Disco-dancer, a mummiphied Angel(I kid you not.), a hamster, a lady bug, two vampires, and "The Joker".
I wish I was there! I would have loved to see those costumes!

Now the sad part of this post-
October is over! O-V-E-R, over! Can you belive how phast it went by? I sure can't.
But I'm looking phorward to November and all of the (hopefully) cooler weather it brings!

So, dear phollowers, grab some Halloween candy, blow out the candles in the Jack-O-Lanterns, and relax.
Because next year, dear phollowers, is going to be a Phineas Phig Halloween.

"Rise Above This" - Seether

A very small cage and a phew dozen people.

*Sniff* I think I'm gonna cry.
My human phamily hosted a party at the house today. But I don't think I was invited. :(
They put me in a very small cage upstairs in Colleen's bedroom. And by small, I mean barely even big enough to it my Phigloo inside of the cage.
Yeah, it was that small.
But eventually Kieran and Jessyca came upstairs and held me whilse they sat upon the top of the stairs. And then some of their relatives-At least I think they were their relatives- came up and admired me. Ha, I love it when people adore me. Even though I do wish they would invite me to some of these parties sometimes, it wasn't all that bad.
It wasn't totally phabulous, either, but it wasn't bad.

It was very loud while the party was going on. And even now, when only a phew people are still here, it's still loud. VERY loud.
And Jessyca is still here, too. Which means that she'll end up holding me again. Hrm.
I think that I'm going to have to sleep in the very small cage tonight, because my big, nice, wonderful house is outside tonight, and there are party tables set up everywhere, so there is not really any room for my house.
But I hope that Kieran brings my Phigloo upstairs and puts it into the very small cage.
That would make the situation a little bit better.

"Leave out all the rest" - Linkin Park

Dizzy....

Stand back, I may just up-chuck.

Why, you ask? I shall tell you.
Because today while Kieran was cleaning out my house, Kelsey had me sit on the bench/swing-ish type thing next to her. That thing goes PHAST. Kelsey kept swinging it back and phorth, back and phorth, back and- Well, you get the point. My little phiggy stomach could barely take it. Thankfully, Kieran came over and sat down next to us and told Kelsey to stop swinging. So she did. Phew....

Jessyca and Jenna came over for a visit once again today. I think I'm getting used to Jessyca. She's still my mortal enemy, though. ;D

*Sigh* I think The Birds are talking about me again. Even as I am sitting at the computer at this very moment, I can hear them whispering. I can barely make out the words "Pig" and "Weirdo".....yeah....they're talking about me. I should go back to my house and eavesdrop on them now. Muah ha ha.

Hmmm....This post is painfully short, is it not? Oh well, I don't have much time. I still love you all, though!

What is the point of nicknames?

Oh my.

It's been a while since my last post, hasn't it? Yes, terribly sorry about my absence over the last week.

Anyway- I shall continue this post as any other.

What is the point of nicknames? The humans like to call me "Phigoo" and "Phigley" along with many other belittling nicknames. I know that they get enjoyment out of those little nicknames, but why must they constantly call me by them? I mean, I rarely ever hear them calling me "Phineas" anymore. Gosh. They might as well just change my name. No-wait. They read this blog. That might give them an idea. Nevermind.
I wonder if they have any embarrassing nicknames? Hmm, I shall have to look into this. I bet The Birds know some nicknames for them. Yes, that's a good idea. When I return to my house I shall have a little chat with them. Although- The Birds themselves to have some nicknames for me- "Stuuuuupid Pig." and "Freak"
Those are worse than the humans nicknames for me! Sheeeeze.

Ugg, my little phiggy head hurts from thinking about all these nicknames.


Yesterday, when Kelsey walked past my cage, I stared at her reeeealllllyyyy intently through the wall of my phigloo. She phreaked out. Kieran did too. It must have been my little red eyes, penetrating into their souls. MUAH hahahhaa....I wish. But they did phreak out a bit.

I can hear Kieran walking down the stairs. "Phineas! Phineas Phiggle!" she is calling. I can tell it's her more than ever today- she's sick. And you can hear it in her voice.
I must go cuddle with her now and make her feel better.

Away I go!

It's late. (Early?)

It is either very late, or very early.


Either way- It is the time that little piggies such as myself should be sleeping peacefully whilst dreaming about vegetables. And yet, here I am! Awake in the wee hours of the morning to write to you!
The humans finally went upstairs to bed, and now I have the chance to blog without interruptions. The only reason I am blogging so late is because Kieran stayed up until 2:00 AM, Instant Messaging one of her friends. Can you believe that?

Anyway-
Today(Yesterday? The time confuses me.) was a pretty nice day. Some of Kieran's cousins -Including Jessyca- came over this afternoon and they went outback. I think that they were digging holes for a tree? I'm not sure, but I can only see so far out of the window before my wall gets in the way.
Then later this evening some of my human family went to a phestival, -or something like that- and I wanted to go with them, and that I could easily just fit in one of their pockets or bags. But Kieran said no. Spoil my fun, sure. A few hours after they got home, one of them set up a little play tent in the area at the bottom of the stairs. Kelsey and one of her friends played in it for a while. And then Kieran kept crawling in and out of it with the dogs. She was shouting things like "No, Conrad! Don't go out there!" and "The enemy is too strong for us, retreat!" hmm. She is very strange.

AND THEN! If that wasn't even enough, a while later, Michelle thought it would be funny to put a ponytail-holder around my neck like some silly circus animal! I fought back by running around my cage like a phsyco-phig until Kieran finally took it off. Thank goodness that she was on my side. :)

That's all for now. I should go to sleep.

Night-night!

Jessyca and dancing pants.

Well......

Jessyca came over once again today. She made me sit on her lap while she and Kieran began the baby talk one again. *Sigh*
That gets on my nerves, I'll tell you that. And then, out of the blue- Jessyca suddenly has a pair of neon pink paper pants, no bigger than myself! She started making weird sounds - I think she was trying to mimic music?- and made the "pants" dance around my face and on my back! I tried to tolerate it for as long as I could, but I snapped and ripped the pants out of her hands and tossed them off of the couch! Ah ha! Victory! Then she - Jessyca - refused to let me sit on her shoulder! Can you believe her? But after a while I finally got to go back to my cosy Phigloo.


Kieran cleaned my cage yesterday and now it smells like oranges.....no!...peaches. No.... Coconut? Passion fruit? Whatever, one of those.


Oh my goodness! I must tell you something before I forget!
The other day, Kieran gave me some of the sweetest corn that I have ever had! It was like candy! Ohhh.......it was yummy. Corn is one of my favourite vegetables ever. Next to carrots.


I have been informed by The Birds (The parakeets that live with us) that Sean has flown away in a plane again. That must be why everyone was up so early this morning! They were up before the sun was even thinking about rising!


Oh, and sorry about forgetting to post yesterday. I didn't get a chance to get on the computer because my human family was on it alot.
