Welcome and congratulations on your little Joe.

It takes a special person to rescue little guys like Joe, and I know he's a happy fellow now. He sounds like he's adjusting really well (except for your bird )

I can't offer advice about your gp, but I think putting him up high for now is a good idea.

Post more pics when you can.

i am having trouble getting pics onto the side here but i have put 3 on the gallery one when we had him all matted one when i tried to take some of his coat and third which is now all naked and clean and feeling better
thanks to all for the welcome

My puppy and my moms cat did not get along very well. My dad put them together slowly, if they constantly show discomfort, just keep them separated. It probably would be a good idea to put your guinea out of Joe's reach for now, until he can learn that the guinea is also part of your family.

It could be that he came from a bad background and doesn't know any better.
I'm glad that he's found a wonderful home!

Welcome to YT! I think it is great that you've given Joe such a loving new home. No advice on the guinea pig, but I would never completely trust any terrier who was not raised around small animals. Hopefully someone else here will have more personal experience with that.

I see you got Joe on your avi! Great job, he's a cutie.

i have taken a very big step today after having my guinea pig for 4 years i have taken him to a new home where he will be safe away from joes teeth
he will be living with lots of other piggies
it was either taking my gp to a new home or putting joe back into the dogs home and i think joe needs another chance at life he is so loving and kissy kissy to us
while im here i have a question if anyone can answer joe loves to lie on the top of the back of my armchair is this something that yorkies do
he also likes to sit in the window sill looking out at the garden i dont think its the birds it seems like he likes to be high up somewhere
thanks for now dawn and joe

Sorry that you had to say good bye to your gp. Joe is very lucky to have found you.

LOL, I can relate to the back of the furniture thing. Ginger thinks she is a cat and spends a lot of time on the back of chairs/sofas etc. We joke that she plays "hot lava" because she often runs all over the living room without touching the floor.



I'm heading off to look for your gallery pics. If you need help posting pics in the thread, I'll be happy to assist.

Ah, the chair, the sofa!! Yes, yes! My Bubba even likes to lay on the back of a sofa that is up against a wall. But looking out the window is rather difficult without a chair or sofa for these little ones. Mine love it. I know they are not alone

[mickie]

hi all just pushing the chair up to the window so joe doesnt have as far to leap and miss his aim wanting to sit in the window
something else someone may be able to help with when taking joe out for a walk he goes absolutley beserk at people and othe dogs growling barking and general goes wild any advise on this many thanks for a great site love dawn and joe
