Well what do you know...........

“Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.” 
-Lyndon B. Johnson
2 days after rearranging the entire family, I settled in to my work area which is pretty much back to full speed.
All of my teh stuff is up and running. Paperwork has been filed away for the most part. And I have found a place for everything and everything is now in place!
I can now get back to business as usual.
As I settled in for an afternoon of catching up,the guinea pigs who now reside right behind my desk, were chattering up a storm.
I mean really chattering.
We've had them now for a month.In that time, I have become familiar with their activity level.
First thing each morning, they noisily greet me in hopes of getting a treat from me.
Being nocturnal , they are a bit more active at night, but not so much to be annoying. The last 2 days, Moonshine, the albino, has taken to racing from one end of the new cage to the other. It's seemed like she was really enjoying the freedom of a much larger living space. Fig, the tri-color, is a fatty and she just likes to hang out and is nowhere near as active as her sister.
As I began writing today,the chattering started. At first it was a normal level of activity. Nothing out of the ordinary. Then it seemed a little more excited. Soon their vocaling was incessant.
I turned to see why it was that they were being so noisy. I noticed Figs butt and Moonshines face peeking out from the hutch end of the new cage. Then I heard cheeping from the wooden hutch at the far end of the cage.
Cool....my guinea pigs are ventriloquists!
Then I saw Fig come out of the wooden hutch.
How?
I can see your tri-colored derriere sticking out from the hutch on the other side of the cag.Although, it seems smaller.
Oh no!
In that moment, a mini-sized Fig scooted out from her hiding spot. And then another creature. And another creature.
And just like that,the 2 guinea pigs were now 5!
Surprise!
But how?
These look like small versions of the mother, not some newborns.
Quick to Google!
Well what do you know. Baby guinea pigs are pretty much fully developed little versions of their mother.
Who new?
BTW....if anyone wants some guinea pigs,you know where to find me.
