  2. *Desperately* need some guardian angels in order to make it through the summer. Please visit ctguineapigrescue.org/aboutus/news.
  3. My pigs are asking: "Is it really air conditioning weather a-l-r-e-a-d-y?" Please remember to keep pets cool and hydrated!
  4. For me, this story isn't about politics - it's about the STUPID things humans do. Mitt Romney's Dog Problem - news.yahoo.com/video-shows-mi…
  5. Pets aren't baggage, and shouldn't be in cargo holds!!! More Pets Died on Delta Flights in 2011, but Why? shine.yahoo.com/pets/more-pets…
  6. Another Source For Cozy Cups bit.ly/u68gzj
  7. Piggies are devouring Oxbow's botanical hay like it's dessert!
  8. Mountain lion prowling CT. Protect your pets and livestock!!!
  9. Note to Pet Supplies Plus: Your guinea pig and rabbit in-store cages are too small!! They're even worse than the ones you sell.
  10. Note to Petland Discounts: Don't house piggies (esp. babies) next to the front door. Cold air drafts make them sick!
  11. No matter how late I go to bed, piggies still insist on having their nightly carrots...guinea pig slave indeed.
  12. @shaaanax3 Thanks! Most relieved that there was no flooding today, and hoping that none develops in the days to come. This is storm w/o end!
  13. No electricity, but rescue is okay so far.
  14. @AppleWoodRescue Hear hear!! So much stuff being sold for pets that they don't need or *should not* have!
  15. Trying to find room for 2 pigs left in a box outside a pet store in the early hours of the morning. This happens too often. So frustrating!
  16. Struggling With Vet Bills? http://bit.ly/pz5D74
  17. Keep pets water bowls/bottles filled with fresh clean water. Not too cold though, it hurts their tummies-especially the little critters.
  18. For extra hydration in hot weather, give piggies an extra chunk of cucumber. Fluids w/o calories or sugar!
  19. 32 states have dangerous heat advisories this week. Monitor your pets carefully! Remember--guinea pigs can't handle heat bit.ly/cnhjds
