my little Hammy is such a little...well, HAM! LOL actually, if you hold her in your lap, she'll move around, but put her somewhere she's not comfortable and she absolutely freezes. makes photography easy but boring. *le sigh* this is me messing around with the macro settings.
Birdie. *sigh* she CANNOT sit still to save her life. (hehe. I guess the whole "keep moving" instinct comes from the need to SAVE HER LIFE...but still). not paying attention? she will run right out of your arms. her need to be contantly moving makes her a challenging subject to photograph. but at least she's interesting.
and OMG. isn't she CUTE!!!!!?? (that discoloration under her chin is from veggies).
this is Hammy as an Easter Egg and Birdie as the Easter Bunny. LOL Hammy was too fat for her costume, but it still cracked me up. you can see Doug's commentary on the whole thing here.
I'm sure you look at this picture and think to yourself..."wow. just another damn guinea pig picture." but here's the thing. I look at this photo and it makes me smile. because Hammy is so damn beautiful (TO ME).
just looking at her makes me happy. and while I've got your attention...look at that back footsie!!! how FREAKING CUTE is that?
I am slowly learning how to use my new camera to get cute pigtures of the little darlin's in their cage. Hammy doesn't cooperate quite as well as Birdie, because as soon as she sees me approach with the camera, she hides...little shit. LOL
so yeah. I actually took a day off work to rebuild the guinea pig cage. LOL its still a 2x3 on bottom, and then split into a 1x2 kitchen and a 1x3 play area on top. they both have room to eat at the same time without fighting, and plenty of room to run on the 1st floor.
but man. building that thing was a BITCH. it took took about 11 hours to do, and I never woulda finished it if Dougalicious hadn't come home and helped me. I have a blister on my thumb, a blister on my knee (yeah, I don't know either) a split finger nail, and a nice cut along my calf. they better enjoy it, the little shits.
