Is that so wrong?

Is it strange to want to talk to your Guinea Pig on the phone? I mean, people talk at their infant children when they go away on business or whatever it is business-type people do... & those are infants. Gilbertson is at least a twenty-something (look @ that punky hair) adolescent, who loves long walks on the lawn, the occasional organic carrot & a nice warm bath on occasion - is that so wrong...

No, but seriously... when Brooke & i talk on the phone, frequently i'll ask to speak to Gilbertson (or she'll just put him on) and i wonder if that's strange... If it is... i'm ok with that, just need to know if i'm in sort of the certifiable camp, or just the 'that's a bit odd' group (which i can live with... as long as nobody turns me in)...

On a side-note... Brooke has mentioned that she is a bit hesitant in posting to this blog... as "she doesn't know what to say"... so, by way of encouragement, i'm posting some non-sensical conversation & hope to post some entries from both of us, when we're on the phone or something... but do encourage her to post, either here, or when you talk to her... as, well, as i already have one crappy blog & surely don't need to be the only one coming up with material for this one...

I remember one time I was on the phone with Brooke, and she asked me if I wanted to speak to Gilbertson. Although, she didn't really give me the choice, she just put him on. He wasn't very talkative and I was a little put off because I don't think Gilbertson likes me that much. But to answer your question, it's not that weird. People talk to all sorts of things that can't talk back, plants, pictures, animals.

I think you guys should turn it into a study of sorts, some kind of guinea pig behavior study to see if Gilbertson is happier than other pigs because they aren't spoken to on the phone. yeah.

i think that study would already be skewed as Gilbertson is possibly the most overfed guinea pig in the history of the universe--making him fairly happy all the time...

He's getting into "summer shape" so he can wear his bathing suit...
