Zippi and I visited one of the resthomes today, after 3+ years of visiting she's become a good friend to many of them. Until I shared my life with her I didn't realise what cool little animals they are.

i think it is awesome that you can bring a bit of brightness to those that so often lonely - great capture of one such moment

How adorable! I love guinea pigs; they're my most cooperative models at the shelter and they're very cute, and quite interactive once they get to know you. Nothing like being greeted with a chorus of happy squeals :-) I always recommend them for people wanting a pet for their kids (as opposed to squirmy littler rodents or demanding bunnies). Never thought of them for a rest home visitor but they're really perfect for that sort of thing. Good for you guys!

Lol at the towel. My memory of the guinea pigs my son used to have is constant puddles (and more). They are very cuddleable though, and it's no wonder the old people like them. Zippi is very cute.

I was hoping you'd be showing off Zippi. I'd love to be cuddling her right now.

Thanks Roz! To be honest Zippi is a little too well rounded (middle age spread maybe)which makes her look bigger.
