Building mental wellness on a foundation of strength
My guinea pigs are all kinds of cute, and they pack a lot of personality into those little pea brains! Casper I adopted Casper from a shelter, where she ended up after being found in a parking lot. She was quite the scaredy pig initially; the first time I had a cuddle with her on… Continue reading Get to Know My Guinea Pigs Better
The guinea pigs are just so cute, so I thought I'd bring them out to play on the blog today. These are my boys, Butternut (the black and white one) and Peanut.
