As many of you know, my two guinea pigs had grown old and both passed away over the last few months. Looking at the empty guinea pig cage was just too much to bear, so I have been looking for juts the right new baby. Today I brought home Abigail. She is so sweet and being that she is just old enough to be away from mom, she will be easier to tame (and train as a model)

I will take more and post them here too as you cannot tell how small she really is in these.

I believe that all animals are easiest to photograph when they are asleep......

.........This also goes for Children

Adorable... the fur makes it look like a stuffed toy. Nice photos, too.

Guinea Pigs are actually not rodents, but Cavies. I think she knows how cute she is. :D

I was waiting for that. I knew it would get a reaction! ;)
(actually they ARE rodents, in the order Rodentia, family Caviidae, but I won't tell anyone if you don't)

That is true - but Abigail says 'cavy' sounds better than 'rodent'

Lol, okay you can tell Abigail that I won't refer to her as a rodent again, and if I forget she can nip my finger, but not toooo hard!
