A Happy Update...and a Fort!

Earlier this month I posted information on the Weavers, an Alabaman family active in guinea pig and rat rescue who lost their house in the April storms that ripped the state apart (bentorats.blogspot.com/2011/05/perspective.html). The Weavers are slowly rebuilding their lives, and I was happy to read an update on their rebuilding efforts (along with great pictures of their surviving guinea pigs and dog.)

In other news, Saké is often rambunctious in the morning. Today she did everything she could to capture anyone's attention, including building a fort at the front of the cage.

Saké's fort

Unfortunately, no one was around to play with her. Usually Penelope sits at the cage and Saké uses the fort to hide and then jump out at Penelope (once startling her so much Penn fell off the side of the dresser). This morning though, only Parker (first introduced at bentorats.blogspot.com/2011/03/rest-of-crew-pt-1.html) was around, and while he was watching closely from the ground, he knows he isn't allowed to get to close to the girls. Saké finally gave up and headed up to bed, but not before using some bedding to spin their nest a full 180 degrees. Sushi was asleep inside and seemed a bit confused when she suddenly awoke after the spin, facing the opposite direction.

I'm sure Sushi will make up for it tonight though, when she's wide awake and Saké is trying to sleep.
