Cucumber Club
Junior Guinea Pig
So I've got a new boyfriend and he's a big animal-lover (yaaay!) he loves the piggies and thinks they're really cute. I'd like him to be able to stay over, and that means bringing his rescued Weimaraner dog with him, as he lives an hour's drive away.
Shaun and Macallan live free range in the open-plan lounge/kitchen of my flat. The bedroom, bathroom and hallway are separated by a secure door. Shaun in particular runs around a lot and loves hanging out behind my futon sofa.
The dog lives with two cats and doesn't seem to have a strong hunting instinct, which goes against what I've read about the breed. The Fella seems to think he'd be fine with the guins, however, we're not going to take any chances. So obviously, the first time the dog visits, the guins will be caged.
I'd like to know whether anybody has any suggestions for how we can introduce dog and guins, so that they lose interest in each other quickly and disregard each other?
