Boxing Day Gift

Today is Boadicea's Gotcha Day.  She was our Boxing Day present from two years ago.  And "boxing" was such an appropriate name for the day, although not in the way of gift-giving.  Boadicea and Cannoli had quite the boxing match when they got home.

Quite the rough start, but it worked out in the end.

The tables have turned on Boadicea this year, and she no longer finds herself in charge.  Instead, she's the one getting picked on by the new upstart, Wedgwood.  Ah, karma.

Nonetheless, Boadi has become one of my favorite guinea pigs.  She loves being patted and talked to.  She greets me every morning when I uncover the cage and checks out whatever I'm doing when I work around the cage.  Boadi has mellowed a lot from her initial wound-up, nippy newbie.

Happy Gotcha Day, Boadicea!  I'm so glad you came home with us.
