Linus says, “Come stop by the Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue’s GUINEA PIG-A-THON this Sunday at the World of Pets Expo in Timonium MD and give me chin scratchies! I LOVE chin scratchies! I will be there all afternoon as a spokespig. My forever family will be there too with information on fostering, adopting, and proper piggy care. I might even get to help out with the syringe feeding demonstration, which means free fruit-flavored mush for me! Whee!”

PIGTURE OF THE DAY: Time for belly tickles!
We have been a busy bunch this week…we said goodbye to three foster piggies who went to their forever home, and took in a new special little guy: meet baby Lucky! :)
He was dumped at a local pet store by an irresponsible breeder (he still has a hole in his ear from having been tagged) and is recovering from multiple bite wounds, one of which abscessed and ruptured soon after he came to live with us…poor baby! :( But he is all cleaned up and on meds now and is feeling much better, safe and snuggly with his two new foster big brothers who think he’s the greatest thing ever, licking and grooming and chasing him around all day. :)
Guinea Pig Rescue - so adorable
