A Piggy A - Z. G is for Guinea Pigs!

After that one wet day, the heatwave returned and it goes on and on although the weatherman has just said that we might be getting some rain in a few days time. We cannot go outside as it is so hot but we thought that it was about time we made a post and decided to move on to G in our alphabet.

What else could we possibly start with other than the most important G of all - GUINEA PIGS of course.

It being too hot to do anything that required exercise, we had a look through the Piggyfriend archives and found these photos, which were for a little friendly competition about who could make the longest line of piggies.

Our senior piggy Otto, on the right, remembers this photoshoot from his younger days. He says that Slave made a line of celery both to keep all the piggies in order and also to stop them from falling off the sofa whilst she took the photos.

Then she took the celery away and, very quickly, took this photo. Otto says that he was replaced by Fennel for this pigture.

This was the longest line of piggies that Slave was able to make as they filled up the sofa.

Otto remembers that were a lot of outtakes during this photoshoot. Here is one....


Not all of the piggies would stay in line.....


Anyone reading this will know all about Guinea Pigs so we do not need to tell you any more but we would love to see any photos that you might have. Use the Contribute button at the top of our page.

The above pigture shows some of the Piggyfriends waiting to be lined up. As you can see, we come in many different shapes, sizes, hairstyles and colours.

Now we are waiting in earnest for that rain to come so that we can show you some photos of G for Grass.

    What wonderful pigtures --- I think I remember the first time these were posted. The outtakes are as much fun as the "good" ones!

    Is that magnificent red pig the famous Garnet?

    1. Click on our Contribute button and follow the instructions Chris. It is just like sending an ordinary email. Attach your photo to the email and when you send it, it will appear immediately on our blog. Put G is for Guinea Pigs as your subject line, write as many words as you like, attach the photos and click send. That is all there is to it. Hope to see your piggies soon.
