Who loves guinea pigs?

Howllo fellow guinea pig and basset hound lovers! I just had to show you this picture that I found of my sweet guinea pigs. I had guinea pigs since I was about 7 years old. I was obsessed with guinea pigs. I wanted to show my dear readers the last and final guinea pigs I ever had. This was about 17 years ago. It coincides with getting basset hounds.

I could never have a dog where I lived or with my job so I had my pigs. I loved my pigs.

A lot has changed since then, and oh how I love that change. What would I do without my precious hounds?

Angel is on the left and Pig Newton is on the right. I had them in a box while I was cleaning their cage. I just love how cute guinea pig lips are.

No more pigs for me! I do love the memories however!

More pig memories later…….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

    I too just LOVE g.pigs. I use to pet sit for a pair, one black with tiny white spots, the other black and white like a paint horse. Their names were Oprah and Harpo!

    Sadly, we have none as my cats, esp. 17lb Shooter,would cause all sorts of trouble.

    Oh your guinea pigs were so cute!! I realize I’m commenting a year after this was posted, but I had to gush how sweet they are and I love the name Pig Newton!!

    I was just looking for pictures of piggies on Google and your site came up. Thank you for sharing this picture with the world. Their little piggy lips are so adorable. Looks like they’re smiling. : )

    Danny – I am addicted to piggers. When I was a little girl my Daddy built a guinea pic apartment house in the basement. At one time we have over 20 pigs, each in their own apartment. It was heaven! My favorite pig was named Poker Dumb.

    I though he looked Dumb when he was poking. You know when they get into that trance and walk in slow motion? I was just a kid and now I would never name a pigger dumb. Oh howl I loved that pigger!

    Thanks for the comment!
