Atmo and Rizzo - Soaking Up the Sun

The last several days have just been beautiful here.  We have all taken advantage of the warm weather by spending as much time in the sunshine as possible.  Meg and I have taken walks, Doug and Cam have played multiple games of basketball and today the guniea pigs even got in on the action.  Normally, we take them out when we change their cage, but as the forecast for Sunday looked bleak, Meg and Cam took Rizzo and Atmo outside.  They left the cage top in the house and decided to let the pigs "roam" the backyard.

Meg and Cam pulled up chairs close to where the pigs were enjoying their grass snack, so they didn't "run away." None of us were too worried about that as they usually do not venture farther than a few inches from one another.  The brothers were out for close to a half hour when all of a sudden Rizzo made a beeline for the pine trees at the side of the yard.  We couldn't believe it as neither one had been adventerous before today.  Cam decided to follow him instead of bringing him back right away.  In the end it wasn't much of a trip, but Rizzo did get to explore some new parts of the backyard.  Atmo never even noticed and just kept eating as much grass as his stomach could hold.  Meg pointed out to me later that evening that neither guinea pig had moved much since we brought them back inside.  Guess that was there way of letting us know that they enjoyed their afternoon
