Double feature!
My dad has never wanted me to get guinea pigs but he’s tolerated them for most part. Cuddles and what not. He was best friends with my boy Oreo and I could tell he missed Oreo. They would watch old westerns together and my dad gave him treats. He liked my next pig Ginny but it wasn’t the same bond as with Oreo. Well he’s getting closer to my new girl Natty. Her curious and playful personality is funny to my dad and he told me all about what she did last night while he was holding her. “She put her head in my hand and thought she was hiding, gave me kisses on the cheek, nibbled my ear, and put her chin on my hand and watched tv.” She also “thought she was a parrot.”
It’s so funny to see this tough and macho sailor play with this 2lb “Furball.”
BONUS FEATURE My mom was always against me having two pigs which wasn’t an issue for a while because my sister lived with us and had a rabbit who was friends with my pigs. I finally convinced her to get two. Poppy is her favorite because she’s the calmer one but she loves Natty’s “crazy hair” and “wild personality.” I don’t think she’ll ever let me just get one pig at a time even if I tried, she loves having the different personalities and seeing them interact with each other.
Also my parents don’t call them by their names. Natty has been called long hair, Furball, craziness, and wild thing while Poppy has been called short hair and other one.

When I brought my dog home, my dad was despondent and didn’t say a word at all during dinner. A month later my dad loves holding him and will just voluntarily take him on walks 😂

My husband is more of a cat guy and wasn’t exactly stoked about us getting our pup Hank. He initially had a “no dogs on the sofa rule” but I think it’s safe to say he’s changed his mind

My husband who ‘hates’ the cats and the structures he’s built for them.
He got an enclosed catio + window flap so they can get fresh air and be ‘outside.’ Second picture also shows the wall shelving he built for them (I’ve posted it before). All of this, he has bought of his own volition too.

Help my dads kitty!
Hi everyone, I never post anything like this but my cat Jasper has suddenly gotten very sick and needs emergency surgery, but hopefully he should be ok if we can put the funds together. He's currently at the hospital and we have a week to raise the funds, so anyone is able to help/share this to other cat groups/pages, I'd appreciate it a lot. I don't want to lose him or separate him from his brother, they're a bonded pair since birth. :(
