DEAR DEAR FLOPPY …In august 2002 ..i bought my Floppy ..i did a big effort to find him because it was a hot summer and this animal, the Guinea pig can not handle the hot weather very well, they are so sensitive animals …so I finally found a small shop with the help of my dear father ..and that small animal shop had a group of Guinea pigs...there was about 10 Guinea pigs …
I was looking for a baby male and there was only one baby in that cage ...at first I will be honest, I did not like him ..he has a funny collection of colors and I wanted a white one , because I had a white one before Floppy his name was Soho, god bless him ..he died of a hot weather and it was my fault so i missed him so much ..and I wanted one like him , to remember him.
So… back to Floppy ..the seller asked me if I wanted this one (Floppy) and he said he is the only male in the group ..I was hesitating in the beginning ..but then I decided to take him ..and today I am so glad that I did that ..he is the best friend ever ..
I took him with only 4 dinards and a half ..so cheap for a such a cute animal .
The first days that I had floppy were the days that all my family was busy, to do our big step of moving to our new home ..I am glad that Floppy shared with me my last days in our old apartment ..cause that was the place where I grew up ..and felt safe and homey all the time …
Baby Floppy was such a cute and nice animal ..he does not bite ..he is so lovely, only needs good food and a clean cage to be very happy ..
He eats lentils and vegetables like salad , carrots and cucumber ..
He does not like to drink water ..
I put his cage that is made of glass next to my bedroom …and when he hears me wake up in the morning he starts to do his cute voice like screaming to tell me that he wants some food ..
And even when he hears me coming from downstairs he starts to scream and I usually hear him in the middle of the stairs and I go back to the kitchen to bring him some food lol..
He is so intelligent...but he does not recognize his name .That is my fault cause I always call him with different names every time like : posa ..cascosa ..pola ..blossa ..poapoa ..etc
But he recognizes the sound of a kiss , cause when I bring him some food I always do for him the sound of a kiss ..so that sound for him is equal to food so he loves it so much and when he hears it he starts to scream too ..a happy scream lol ..
And when I give him some food he does a very cute sound not a screamy one , it is just like a purring cat and that’s his way to say thank you ..I looooove that sound .
The Floppy world is all about sleeping and eating …he is sooooooo lazy .. when he was young he liked to walk out of his cage in my bedroom …he was an active animal ..but now when I put him on my bedroom floor he stays in his place and stares at me like if saying : oh please bring me some food and just let me sleep in my cage !!!! lol
And he goes under the bed to sleep .lol ..
So I gave up now ..
Floppy always shows me that he is happy and he loves me ..
Only when I give him a shower and that’s every 3 days ..when I finish his shower , he starts to give me some strange angry looks..Some times he even makes me scared lol ..
But I always feed him a good meal after his shower so that he will forgive me .lol
And when he dries up he forgets everything ..thanx god lol!
There is no meal time for Floppy ..he eats all the day long .. if his food dish was not full he will start to scream even if he was not hungry and does not want to eat ..but he just wants to feel that there is food next to him whenever he needs it ..
When my sister was with us before she got married she used to help me to feed him ..and he was such a naughty one cause he screamed to her like he is soooo hungry and when she brings him food ..he eats it all ..and when she goes and he sees me he starts to scream at me like he is soooo hungry..so I bring him food ..and he does not eat it ..and when I ask my sis why she said I just fed him lol …
I love Floppy ..his age is now 4 years ..but for me he will always be a cute baby ..
I don’t feel he is old ..he is in good health ..these species lives about 5-8 years ..
I wish that he will always be with me ..and lives as long as a Guinea pig can
Finally I am so sorry to refer to Floppy as a (he) ..I know this is grammatically wrong ..but for me he is like my little cute baby and not just an animal ..
I LOVE YOU MY DEAR FLOPPY YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND ….
