Guinea Pig Spa

Be prepared to be overcome with cuteness!

This is Squeakers getting a good shampoo massage. I used Derma-Soft non-soap cleanser. She was hand-held as I dipped her in the warm water in the bathroom sink.

After Whisker's bath, I wrapped her up in a warm towel to drip-dry. I had a heater going in the bathroom so she wouldn't get a chill.

Here is Squeakers again. She is admiring her nice clean look while I blow-dry her fur.

Here is Blaze. She has just gotten a coconut oil massage so her skin won't dry out. She loves the warmth of the hair dryer.

Whiskers just sat there enjoying the warm air. She liked looking at her reflection, too.

One final fashion shot of Whiskers modeling her "Tiger" outfit.

My deer blind, a place outside of time and space.

This is a picture of my deer hunting blind. I built in in 1975 and used it until about 2010. I'm publishing this picture and text on November 15 of 2022, the opening day of Michigan's rifle deer hunting season, to remember all the years I spent sitting there and occasionally harvesting a deer. I think that the meat I provided for my family was only a small portion of the benefit I received from hunting in this manner. Of greater value to me was the time I spent alone, watching the forest and its many components interact. I had time to unwind from the stresses of my work, to appreciate our world, and even sometimes to pray. That blind was a refuge to me. It was cozy, and comfortable and I spent much more time filming the activities of not only deer, but bears, racoons, turkeys, squirrels, hawks, and once, even a snowy owl, than I did harvesting deer. May I suggest to all of you that you try to find some time and a place, where you can be alone, and where you can ponder and appreciate your life and your place in the world. It does a body good. -djf
