but she went back to work and she’s away all day, too. And George, who hasa job at Ivan’s place, works five, sometimes six days a week.That means it’s just me and the guinea pigs a lot of the time. I have a doggiedoor and an outside run, but it’s not the same as touring the neighborhoodwith your person. Peeing without a potential audience is like talking toyourself.Sometimes I’m the teensiest bit jealous of Ivan and Ruby. They always havesomeone around.Which is crazy, I know. I’m free and they’re not. But there it is.Told you I’m not a saint.

It’s been a couple days since I’ve seen mypals, and I need my friend fix like I need air and water and belly rubs.We don’t live far. Down to the end of the street, around a corner (good newssource there), then a few more blocks.
