Paradise Piggies: It’s Raining Bananas, Hallelujah!

1 Comment

Together.PointingIt was a really, really hot day today…so hot that it felt like we were walking in painfully slow motion, trying to wade through heat.  And so, after miso making duties this morning, I had more munchkin duties to attend with.  One of the main things was to process (cut and dip in lime juice solution) a whole bunch of ripe bananas and sun-dry them.  Phew…I couldn’t take the thought of cutting about fifty bananas in the baking heat!  I bleated in despair through a sweaty head of hair at Gnome and as usual, he managed to turn the situation into a positive one.  And, so Gnome declared, “Let the bananas rain down on my piggies!”

Today has been officially named National Piggie Day in Belize.  To commemorate this day, a gift of sweet bananas was given to the community of Paradise Pastures.

Yay!! Bananas!! Chomp, Chomp.
Yay!! Bananas!! Chomp, Chomp.

In addition, Gnome personally made a Pom Toy (courtesy of Piggieworld) with 5 pieces of coloured yarn and a fork.

Paradise Piggies: What New Beauties!!

TogetherEverything is pretty peachy at Paradise Pastures presently.  Last night, our first mother was admitted into the brand new maternity ward with cervical dilatation and contractions.  Later on this afternoon, the proud first time mother gave birth to two beautiful female babes:

All Piggies are happy and making their happy noises; their hearts sing out to Mayor Gnome for providing the Maternity Ward.

The Susan B Anthony Maternity Ward comes fully equipped with water, biscuits (Cachorros) on tap, plenty of leafy greens, cabbage and a Midwife!!  Mayor Gnome has certainly pulled out all the stops for this spacious facility.

Paradise Piggies: Mayor Gnome Restores Confidence.

TogetherAfter last week’s tragic case in which three young guinea pigs were snatched from the gated community, life has not been the same for the citizens of Paradise Pastures.

Mayor Gnome offered his condolences for the two lost babies.  A gift of fresh grass was given to the community:

This was not enough to sweeten the Piggies as all hell broke loose soon after with squabbling, squeaking, squealing and general mis-conduct.  Two days ago, the surviving baby guinea pig tragically passed away:

Mayor Gnome’s attempt at a Filibuster was met by angry Piggie wild fire.  The community of Paradise Piggies demanded immediate action and resolution.

Our Mayor Gnome has come good and restored confidence to the Paradise Piggies!  He has built 4 new luxury condominiums and one of them is the maternity ward:

The Piggies are absolutely delighted by this new and hurried construction and they feel that they can “re-build” the community from here.  There was a heart-felt gurgle of pleasure when they inspected the facility.  And, in addition to this, Mayor Gnome has installed a delinquent “time out” area to house hooligan piggies.  This is called Southpointe:

Hooray for Mayor Gnome!!  Our Hero!!

Piggie Paradise: Tragedy and Fortune in One Day.

Munchkin.in.the.WindIn the early hours of Thursday morning, on the 19th of February, foul play was afoot and a heinous crime was committed at Paradise Pastures, the gated community for Guinea Pigs.  A one foot deep hole was dug beneath the cage and three newly born piggies were snatched from their cradle.

Gnome was at the Scene of the Crime a few hours later; the scene was one of devastation and distress.

Paradise Pastures was quickly secured and placed in a protected area.  Gnome and Munchkin combed the surrounding land looking for the remains of the three missing baby piggies.  And, alas the diligence was paid off as one live piggie was found, unharmed and safe.

Tragedy and fortune came hand in hand on this fateful day.  Meanwhile, the criminal has been apprehended and remanded to custody with bail set at $500.

The piggies at Paradise Pastures are up in arms over this crime.  They have petitioned Mayor Gnome to build a secure “Mother and Baby” facility.

Gnome.at.DeskMayor Gnome must concede to their demands or else he might find himself bang in the middle of a Piggy Riot.  And we don’t want that, do we?!
