NY-Adirondack Save-A-Stray-Short hair unsexed adult pig

So, funny moment. I'm dealing with a spay recovery right now and almost wrote: "short sexed adult unpig" as the title. Whew! Someone tell me if my typos get too crazy, okay? I made a commitment to myself, as a perfectionist, to not proofread this blog. I maintain it in my spare time. If I proofread it I would never, ever, do anything else. Soon I would be posting about "crazed blogger has guinea pigs taken from her due to hands being fused to keyboard." So, fair game to copy edit here. You'll only be doing what I wish I could.

Adirondack Save-A-Stray; Corinth, NY: LISTING REMOVED unsexed guinea pig! Here's a great page for sexing: Boy or Girl?

This guinea pig is pictured on aspen bedding. Aspen and kiln dried pine, NEVER cedar, are the only acceptable wood beddings. I mix my carefresh with Aspen bedding to save money.

What a beautiful piggy!

PA-Wheek Care Guinea Pig Rescue-Bonded young boar pair

Wheek Care Guinea Pig Rescue; Lower Burrell, PA: ADOPTED! Blackie and ADOPTED! Doc!

Blackie is a "very young black and white silky/American mix satin." He is a gorgeous piggy with super soft fur. He is bonded with Doc. Blackie is a confident guy who will play shy if he thinks it will get him a veggie :)

Doc is a super social, happy, and inquisitive guy! He is 15 months old. He came in a bit shy, but just after a few hours in the hands of a guinea lover, Doc learned to love people. He is bonded with Blackie and the two are an amazing pair.

PA-Wheek Care Guinea Pig Rescue-Bonded male trio

Wheek Care Guinea Pig Rescue; Lower Burrell, PA: ALL THREE ADOPTED! Cameron, Brock, and Murray!

I must share the opening line of the bio "Cameron is such a little gentleman." He is a four month old boy who is part of a bonded trio. He has recovered from bite wounds of an aggressive male and a previously insufficient caretaker, and is now ready for a forever home and lots of love! He's a bit shy but warms up quickly, even giving kisses. He's bonded with two pigs named Murray and Brock, and the director of the rescue really wishes for the three to be adopted together. I bet Murray, Brock, and Cameron all hope for the same! They've all had a hard life before they came to the rescue, and separating them now would be a shame.

Here's a great quote from the rescuer: "I personally believe that all piggies should live in threes. They get very bonded, and if one cagemate should pass, at least they still have one of their friends, which helps keep them from going into a nasty depression. These three need to stay together."

Brock is a very young piggie, and is gorgeous and sweet to boot! A quote from his bio: "His white coloration has a stunning mother-of-pearl gloss to it that is the nicest I've ever seen." What a catch! Brock and Cameron are dear friends, having met in the rescue. They share their cage with Murray, an older fellow at 1.5 years old, and the three of them are happy as little guinea clams. They would be a great trio for a forever home to adopt.

Murray sounds like a one of a kind wonder pig. To again quote the bio's author, "In all honest, I have never been so captivated by a guinea pig as I am with Murray...Murray is one of the sweetest and most gentle of creatures on the face of this earth." What a guy! Before Brock and Cameron, Murray had never had a guinea friend. He's never been abused nor neglected, but he'd spent his whole life without piggy company. Now he's finally got the chance to be adopted with his two first and best piggy friends!
