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.

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.

Mysterious Guinea Pig

I just love being mysterious. Don't you?

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.

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.

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!
