Looking For A Pet? Think Rescue!
You may remember our Don’t Parsley Me By contest raising awareness of animals in rescues. (If you missed it, this is the link to the video of all the entries from it) What has made us bring this up again? Well, though whee aren’t discussing it every minute of the day, there are lots of bootiful animals in rescues, efurry minute of the day!
BlogPaws has done a lovely badge encouraging hoomans to adopt from rescues when looking for a new addition to their furmily, and whee were super duper happy to see a guinea pig included on it! See:
They did a blog post which included seven reasons why you should adopt. To see the full post click here. One of their reasons particularly struck a chord with us because it is so true!
Guinea pigs and other furry rodents get excited when their parents walk into the room. Have you ever heard the happy squeals of a guinea pig? I have owned several and it is incredible when they see you and are just as thrilled with your presence as your dog might be.
Whee do squeak like crazy when the hoomans get home. Basil is particular loves his little hooman and whenever he comes home from school Basil goes crazy wheeking and popcorning with happiness. Trying to get out of the cage for cuddles. Seriously! If whee had tails, they’d be wagging!
Mummy tried making a video of the moments leading up to when Basil’s little hooman gets home. (She has to shut up the cage so that he doesn’t go to the front door. Usually it is open so he can run around it whenever he wants!) He sits . . . and waits . . . . and squeaks a lot! Mummy sort of failed though because her camera died before the little hooman came in! Camera – 1 Mummmy – 0
Whee hope you like it. And remember. Think rescue when getting a pet.
Have a terrific Tuesday!
Nacho, Noah, Buddy & Basil

ps. Thanks to efurryone who noticed and commented about the new seasonal banner and background. It was Mummy’s attempt because the little hoomans weren’t there to help so she is glad you like it!

Hutch A Good Life 
Oh Basil I could tell you were excited that your little hooman was about to get home – it’s wonderful when we spot someone we love and we know we’re about to get some special cuddles! We love your Hallo-Wheek blog look too – especially the sparkly background! WOO HOO!!!!
Kitty Hugs, sammy
Glad you like the look of the blog. Mummy says it make her smile! The strange thing is I start wheeking at exactly 3:15 efurryday and keep wheeking till my little hooman is home. I love playing with him!

Nom Nom wheeks at the top of his voice and tries to break free from the cage!
Too bad the camera broke…would love to have seen Basil greeting his little hooman 🙂

I basically did lots of running round in circles and squeaking till they opened the cage. Mummy will try and get it again today when the hoomans come home!

Rotten camera 😦 but so beautiful to see and hear the excitement at the little hoomans imminent arrival 🙂 and as for Hall-o wheek…fab simply fab 🙂 beautiful pictures and a great message .Hugs Fozziemum xx
Whee are so glad you like it! ^_^ The camera has been naughty for awhile now. Mummy says she needs to track down a camera doctor to tell her why it keeps doing this switching off and white screen! It makes no sense!

We are glad to see that they included guinea pigs too!!
So were whee. It makes people think when they see it so they know that there are other animals in rescues! ^_^

Happy Hallo-wheek! It looks great! I agree it’s much better to rescue a pet! And your wheeky-song is just great, bet next week you are the #1 of the billboards!
Mummy usually tells me to calm down so I did get a bit quieter when she came over to the cage but I was furry excited! ^_^

Great to see you guys represented!
That’s what whee thought! It’s great that efurryone knows there are rescue piggies out there too.

I wait also. Even though I have a doggy door, it’s best to wait for Them to go outside and piddle.
Hehehe Whee all love our hoomans ^_^
Mummy says it’s cupboard love for us, whatever that means!

Awww Basil is soooo cute! I love the little greeting he was giving waiting for ya! 🙂
I am pretty adorable ^-^ Hehehe
Those hoomans can’t resist this face!

Whee are going to visit buddy holly a 3 y/o guinea pig whom was severely abused to the point he was a walking bone but, he’s better now; our mommy might foster him or even adopt him. He’s an awesome guy his owner will not get any jail time nor prison time because she gave him up before he died.
That’s awful. The poor baby. Whee wish efurryone who was mean to animals and caused suffering was jailed.

Hehehe Mummy says imagine those squeaks at 3am and decide if they are still cute. Hoomans don’t need sleep, right?!
Basil

So sweet! I was out of town with my humans for a week, and I really missed seeing all of you. I can kind of pretend to myself that Basil’s squealing is for me coming home and back to your blog. 😉
Hehehe Of course the squeaks are all for you!

Great Halloween Banner and love the video and photos of Basil and his little hooman. You are so right and the best place to find love is at a rescue and we have been so blessed over the years with many guinea pigs from rescues.
So glad you like the new blog look ^_^

Basil we can see that you love your little Hooman and he loves you. He is a very handsome little hooman.
We like your Hallowheek banner! Your Mum is very creative. Love, Cali, Andy, Tater and Shelly (C.A.T.S.)
Thank you, I love my little hooman lots and lots!

best thing to do is adopt!xx Rachel
Exactly. Consider it a good deed for the day! ^_^

Totally agree with you hence why I ended up with three moggies when I should have only got two LOL. Archie had been in the home the longest and I could not have that x
Mummy was told just one piggy. But piggies need friends so one became two and two has become four. Who knows how many more she might get!
