The other day I was chatting with someone at the day job. I don't remember exactly what we were talking about but I said, "blah, blah, I was playing with Boo..." and my friend asked, "Do guinea pigs play?"

I had to laugh. Doesn't everyone play?

Well, anyway. Boo's favorite thing to do is run around on the floor. We have to be careful because for the past couple of weeks, I've had an extra computer in my room and I don't have the cables covered up or guinea-pig-proofed at all. Easy access to a CAT6 and a phone line... so far no chew marks!

Boo will run circles. If I'm down on my hands and knees, she'll run around and under me. Last night I played "catch the guinea pig foot"... try to grab her foot, she ran away then ran back and I would try to grab her foot again. Repeat until she gets bored and wanders off do something else.

:) When guinea pigs are happy, they do this cute thing called a Popcorn. Basically just a happy jump straight up. 'Course, this is a guinea pig we are talking about... very short legs, right? But it's fun to watch!
