Baloo always seems to make this mohawk thing on top of the guinea pig's head, but what really gets the little guy peeved is having his ears washed.

I've honestly never seen the guinea pig try to run away from the dogs. He runs TO them. Out in the yard he tries to keep up with them, and if they get too far ahead, he starts screaming until one of them comes back for him.

LOL! It probably is a bit like that. People who visit often stand there shaking their heads at the way the dogs, cat, birds, guinea pig and even wildlife interact. Remind me to tell you my fugly cat story sometime.

One morning, and I do mean early morning, I got up and took the dogs out. Around 3:30am, doing my usual routine. First the dogs go out, and I walk around in the dark yard for a bit, then I come in and start the coffee. I typically left the back door open during our yard time if the weather was good, so the dogs could go back in whenever they were ready. We were probably outside for 10 or 15 minutes. I stubbled back into the house, bleary eyed, barely able to see yet. Libby was still with us then and she's the one who started the fuss in the kitchen, right at my feet, while I was getting the coffee pot ready to start. I looked down and in my limited vision saw the fugly cat. It was eating from the dog food bowl, this gray colored creature with part of it's fur missing. I shushed Lib and bent closer for a better look. It looked to be in terrible shape. All of it's fur gone from it's tail, and the fur on it's back sort of matted and coarse. "A poor little stray", I thought..."a sad little kitty needing a home and someone to love it". It must have wandered into the house while we'd been out in the yard, looking for food. It was the ugliest cat I had ever seen, and I felt so sorry for it. I reached down to pet it and it hissed, but didn't even lift it's head from the dogfood bowl when I stroked it's back. It's fur felt awful. Not at all like a cat. It was wiry. In my early morning stupor, I attributed it to malnutrition, and I went to the fridge to see what sort of leftovers I could find that might be good for it. The light from the fridge illuminated the room more, and I turned to put a frittata in the food bowl for it. It hissed again when I got close, and I stroked it's back again, saying "there, there little kitty. I won't hurt you". And then it looked up at me with beady little opposum eyes and its long pointed nose. I fell backwards trying to get away from it and Lib started barking again, furiously this time. I grabbed a cereal box to keep between us and pushed it carefully toward the door. By this time all of the dogs were gathered around watching stupid mamma trying to herd a 'possum. It seemed to take forever to get it out the door. I'm careful now about shutting the door while we're outside.

WOW, that must have been a SHOCKER that early in the morning ... or ANY time for that matter!!! Id have to say "good call" on keeping the door closed from then on! You're lucky it was not sick, you could have been in real trouble!!! Also that it wasnt a 'coon. They can be really mean when pissed off.
