The Scratching Post
October 2024

Hi pals!!
We hope you have a terrific October. We know a lot of humans love (what they call) Spooky Season. We’ve been hearing those words a lot.

Carlito tells us what he sees on the outside. He says some houses have already had Halloween decorations up (OMC). We don’t really know what that means, but it sounds nifty (we think).

Carlito is such a weirdo! We don’t understand him at all! Like, why would he rather be outside than inside?? That doesn’t make any sense! Inside is WAY better. We don’t have to worry about anything in here. But Momma says he “better watch out” because when winter comes “his butt is staying inside.” We can’t wait to see how that goes. He already whines, cries, and throws a bit when she won’t let him outside. He also is naughty and doesn’t always let Momma put his tracking collar on! That’s not nice.
He is such a big baby (MOL)!

He’s not completely well behaved like us! Being outside looks scary to us. There are so many big things out there.

A few weeks ago AJ accidentally ran out the front door (the street we live on is not busy) while Momma was holding the door open for Carlito to come inside. After two seconds AJ realized what terrible mistake he had made, and he instantly ran back inside! It was so funny to see. Mom was freaking out for, like, five seconds! She didn’t know what to do, or what was going to happen. Luckily, AJ realized the error of his ways and everyone came inside, and we lived happily ever after.

At the end of August, we had to say goodbye to our other guinea pig brother, Beethoven. He got sick with an abcess as well. He was also very sad and depressed from losing Chopin. So, he ended up going OTRB at home before the appointment Momma had for him to go to the vet for it. So no more piggies for a while Mom said.

We’ll see what come this month. We don’t really get a lot of kids trick-or-treating in our area. Momma always tries to watch for them so they don’t have to ring the doorbell (the noise scares us a lot).
Til Next Month,
All of Us
(even Carlito)
