And Then There Were Five - A Shelter Tale

Once upon a time there was a guinea pig in a shelter.



A nice lady  and her boys, who already had three piggies, heard about her and brought her home.



They named her Violet because she had deep purple eyes. 



She played....



and had fun exploring. 



She met some of the fur family



and got a good bit of feet sniffing in. 



Life was good.

Weeks passed and she grew and grew. And grew. And grew some more....until




POP! A babe was born! 



The babe turned out be a he and was named Jeff. Yes, Jeff. Because the Boy said so. 


 

And the babe grew 



and grew



and grew.

But he did not pop. Because he was a boy.




But he did get moved to his own cage where he now resides next to his mom.

  3. This is a proof that piggies, as tiny as they are, have awesomely heartwarming stories to tell, too. Just like the "big guys" - dogs and cats.
