It certainly does warm the cockles! I recall once, only once, one or two of the chickens half flying, calling out to me when I returned from a vacation!

I don't recall any of the current chickens being so happy to see me.

We came really close to getting stranded by winter weather in Wyoming. Made it to Laramie before stopping for the night. It doesn't look like the roads will close tomorrow, so we should be able to get through. There's a stretch between Laramie and Rawlins that has wind advisory for 60+mph gusts, but my truck doesn't fall under the light high profile vehicle category. I just have to slow down and be careful. The roads are clear all the way home after that.

I will see my boys tomorrow!

Made it home safely. All 3 of the boys were very happy to see me. I held each one for a while. Mr Bubbles got mad and tossed his cage after I put him back. Another few minutes of lap time and a handful of hay made him happy again. Do you think he missed me?

We always hope they do! They are all such great guinea pigs and have a real bond with you.

No shortage of love and attention for Mr Bubbles since Barry Jenkins has joined the herd. He never fails to come to the door and demand his attention. There's no way on Earth that I can ignore him! He gets his finger nibbles, petting and a hug in each and every time. Sammy and Dean also; minus the hug since they aren't as much about that as Mr Bubbles is. Still, they're aware that the herd is increased by one. All 3 seem to be ok with it.

I am always worried about making sure each piggie gets the same love and attention. There's no such thing as a short visit to my boys.

Cage nibble for attention https://imgur.com/gallery/RsrRfl9

Found this old video of Scruffy nibbling on his cage for attention. Mr Bubbles and Sammy both still do this. Looks like he taught them well! I still miss my Scruffer.

Look at Mr Bubbles stretch out! He grabs my finger and pulls it towards him if I don't have a treat for him or if I stop petting him during lap time. It's so funny!

Mr Bubbles had his few minutes in the fresh air and warm sunshine today. There is a small patch of green grass. Snow is supposed to be here on Sunday, so I was glad to have this chance to let him graze. Even though it was only a short time.
