New in Buffalo!

Hello, I'm new to the board. I'm a 37-year-old mother of two with a houseful of pets. I run a guinea pig rescue so we primarily have those (somewhere around 90 at the moment, but it varies). We also have a darling, sweet shih tzu named Jazz, three budgies, and several tanks of assorted fish.

Welcome, Beth.

A guinea pig rescue? I never heard of that. Makes me think of the tribble episode of "Star Trek". No a trekkie or anything, just remember the episode. It must be so cute seeing those fuzz balls running around.

Thanks for the greetings everyone!

It pretty much stinks up here! Yesterday it was 58 and today it is snowing. *grumbles*

The gp rescue is just what it sounds like. We take unwanted and ill piggies and rehab them and try to find good adoptive homes for them. I strongly encourage anyone who is considering getting a piggie to find a rescue in your area. I got into it kind of by mistake. I have always owned gps and I have a friend who does reptile and exotic animal (degus, chinchillas, etc) rescues. Sometimes when a hoard of reptiles is rescued there is a breeding colony of gps destined to be food. So she began shifting them over to me for care.

Cheektowaga? You weren't one of the people laughing at the Australian town names a couple years ago were you? Like Toowoomba?

I knew you were a "cheeky bloke"!!
