Piggy, piggy, piggy!

They both oink and 'wheek'. And they both munch hay.

But, no, not the curly-tailed, snorty-snouted, barn-style piggy.
But the itty-bitty, furry, lap buddies, of which we have 4 of: guinea piggies!!

We have 3 males and one female guinea pig. Three of them (two males~Licorice and Jelly Bean~and the lone female~Truffle) are siblings that we watched being born. All three are American smooth-coat black/white combinations (which shocked us all because both parents had no black on them at all and were mostly brown), and our third male is an Abbysinian/Peruvian mix~Coconut.

Here's Jenna cuddling with Coconut.
Coconut loves baby carrots
Awwww! So cute!!
