Meerschweinchenbildergalerie A fuzzy slipper! A toupee! Rare guinea pig breeds, carefully groomed and photographed on velvet. So many choices, but I think this fellow is my favorite.

An oldie but a goodie, offered in tribute to Dishy's classic post.

  • Weee! Weee! Weeeeee!!! /sqeals in delight, puts wood shavings on head, makes jellybeans
  • ahem, the velvet backdrops make it somehow pornographic....not sure how I feel about that...
  • I'm gonna name mine Mr. Gere
  • apparently does not taste like chicken.
  • Piggies!!!! Yay!!!! How could anybody eat those sweet little things?
  • Mr. Gere is a gerbil.
  • And, Astrolagus, I won't know until I've tried one. That someone else, killed, gutted, and cooked, of course.
  • The Cuteness... It's too much... I love their look of dazed incomprehension. And I guess they do look kind of tasty...
  • So cute! I don't really go awww at kittens or puppies, but these guys make my knees weak.
  • Weeee! Thanks, shinything!
  • Dear. This brings back hideous memories of taking on two geriatric hammies after they were too feeble to withstand the lovin' in an elementary school classroom. They squealed every single time I went in or out of my very small room and/or whenever they felt squeal-y. One was unaccountably bony, and I finally figured out why; it was toothless; and being a rodent would grow teeth again if I could keep it alive long enough to make that fact useful. So I mixed up a concoction of bananas, cornmeal, and peanut butter, and handfed that sucker until teeth happened. It ate normally, got fat and sassy, then promptly dropped dead. Screw you, guinea pig bastard.
  • Holy shit Astragalus...why did you have to show that at me, now I is slipping into cuteness-induced coma....
  • oooo this is much linkee goodness! especially that toupee one. good heavens. bananas, shiny!!
  • You whistle, little guinea pig, when you see us in the morning. Is this meant for a greeting or a kind of early warning lest we pop you in the oven, and serve ye, roast with scallions?
  • monkeys driving in a car, strange looks from passers-by. why are they looking at us? ah, yes, it is probably because we are blasting the 'Hamsterdance' techno remix, at full volume...
  • my friend mary refuses to believe that toupee-looking piggie is real. heh.
  • SideDish, for Exhibit B, you should show her those Angora rabbits too.
  • Ohhhhh, hamsterdance! When's the last time we all listened to the hamsterdance? Guinea pig. The meat that makes its own gravy.
