About Guinea Pigs (Cavies)
Over the years, the number of varieties of guinea pigs has increased drastically. I was amazed when I visited the website for American Cavy Breeders Association. Particularly unique was the Texel with its very curly coat.

Guinea Pigs – Silky, My First
by Glory Wade
Guinea pigs aka cavies make great pets. My first one was a black and white Peruvian. Her hair flowed around her, giving her the appearance of a tiny mop made of black and white silky hair - without the handle.
Each night when I opened the door of the apartment after work, she squeaked a greeting and came over to see me.
We sat together watching TV with her on my lap, shoulder, or on her royal blue cushion – a huge “harem” pillow – with a button in the center creating a concave area perfect for her to nestle in.
The amazing thing I remember about Silky these many decades later was her squeal when she needed to go to the bathroom. No kidding! She would squeal; I’d return her to her cage; she’d do her business and I’d bring her back out. She happily re-settled into her former position until it was time to go to bed, “purring” as I pet her.
I joined a cavy club and thought about getting into breeding and showing, but canines won out a few years later.

FEATURED PETS:
Dash and Daisy
D & D Infinite Adventures
by Sarah Horne
Dash and Daisy are two of the most rambunctious baby guinea pigs I have ever come across. Their furry coco and yellow hair would make you instantly fall head over heels for them. Any wild funky thing they do, like hop around each other, I find to be adorable.
How did these two sisters come about you ask? Well, it all started with my sister's words. "Oh, Petite seems so lonely. Doesn't she need a friend, Sarah?" Sarah is yours truly and Petite is my sister's miniature pinscher. Now, why would a little dog need a guinea pig pet you ask? That's a question only God knows the answer to.
When she got the first guinea pig, she quickly discovered that Petite and Baby Brown, the guinea pig, were too afraid of one another to become friends. So, my sister's solution to Baby Brown's solitude was to get her a girl friend she can converse with. Then came Hazel, a furry brown ball that changed everything. These two girls got along very well, a bit too well. So well that not too much later, a litter of baby guinea pigs suddenly appeared in the cage. Oops! So much for them being girls. Three wild babies came out and hit the ground running or should I say, eating.
Dash and Daisy, two of the babies, were gifts that I couldn't refuse. As time goes by, I am fascinated more and more by everything they do. Having them is such a treat and anyone who is scholarly and enjoys studying animals most definitely needs to get a pair of Guineas. I love them infinitely and so would you.
