Merry Holiday break!

Hello all --

Here are a few pics to get you through the holidays. Lyra and I will be away until after the new year, so there won't be any updates until after then.

Happy Sauce-day

Sauce, our middle pig, just turned one this weekend. Here's an image of the celebration.



And these little hamsters keep demanding to be included. Grudgingly, we'll show one every now and then.

Dancing off dinner

Several different steps you can try, in order to work off the holiday indulgences, as demonstrated by our crack team of Dwarf Hamsters.

Chocolate, Pudding and Pastry

I made this picture for Lyra's mother, who made me chocolate cream puffs for a birthday present.

The caption on the card was: "To say the least, Chocolate, Pudding and Pastry were alarmed by the implications of the recipe..."

The Reflecting Guinea

Here is the Lyra pig lost in thought.

Industrial Peegs

The pigs also keep themselves productive.

Recreational Peegs

I've been working on some fellowship applications, but the pigs have been keeping themselves busy...
