I may end up eating my guinea pig for dinner one day very soon!  I've added up her destruction bill and so far, she's worth almost $200 in eaten cords and electronics (that would be assuming I wasn't simply patching everything back up).  I tried the lemon juice trick even - where you coat the plastic covering the wires in lemon juice to prevent the animal from persisting when it tastes the sour juice.  Guess what?  My animal is one in a million - she loooves the juice!  So I spent 20 minutes washing it all off as thoroughly as possible - I'll be damned if I'm going to add flavor to her destructive meals.

You'd think I'd just stop letting her out of her cage but, since she's all by herself, I end up feeling a little guilty with her just staring at me like that.  I miss having an apartment full of fish and reptiles.  That's one thing they never do - the guilt stare.  And, if they*are* staring at you, it always gives you the feeling that they are wondering how many days your arm might last as a food item for them. 

Speaking of reptiles, my turtle is slowly increasing in size - time to redo her little habitat and take some photos of that!
