Guineadashery

I should get one so my guinea pig can be a part of my mom’s wedding in august.

omg now i NEED a little piggy.
Need i tell you.

I’m sorry but do none of you find this a little cruel? I have 13 guinea pigs and would never dream of putting one of those costumes on any of them. They are easily stressed animals and wouldn’t enjoy it at all! The hats are ok but the all-body costumes are just cruel.

OMG that is cute but why didn’t you show the elf hat?????

Nah, guineas wouldn’t like the costumes…just because they’re sitting still doesn’t mean they’re happy. My pigs tend to freeze when they’re stressed :p If i put mine in these one would tear me to shreds and the other would pee itself XD

I wasent playing to ever post on CO, just a lurker. That said though, and this is probably an odd first post, but the wedding viel looks like a zip-lock plastic bag in the photo.

Pigs are always cute!

I have some that wouldn’t mind wearing a hat and some that would absolutely hate it.

And one that would just LOVE dressing up…so…use some judgement people! And enjoy the cute!

The elf hat is the very cutest!!

OK, the little piggee is very cute. But clothing on animals just seems wrong to me. They are already wearing “clothes” – their fur.

I don’t think it’s cruel, except to embarass the fur baby.

it’s the same pose in every picture. ha! i love pics of animals because they don’t know what’s going on. and furthermore…now i might start making clothes for my bun bun, Ava.

Normally I hate clothes for animals – Kris, in New England already gave one perfectly good reason. And I am not condoning dressing one’s piggie up (I know mine would have hated it). But dang, some of those costumes are cute. I love the “elf hat”…

oh my god, the egg hat! the nurse hat! pilgrim hat! aaaaaah!

Bunny pig! Eeeeeee!

Some animals will stand for this and some won’t. My cat Trixie is one that would not. And I would have the missing limb to prove it.

You get to know your pet after a while and can tell when they are upset even if they don’t give you a painful reminder such as my fluffball would.

So, here’s my theory, unless this person is a real b@st@rd he/she probably wouldn’t do this if it was causing enourmous upset or harm to the piggie.

People, many times have no qualms about hurting other people. But some of the biggest jerks I’ve known go out of their way to make sure their pets are healthy and happy. …Go figure.

I love guinea pigs. The fez and the pirate hats are genius.

Bee cat!! Sqeeeee!

The hats and capes are cute but I’ve got to draw the line at the full body costumes, the whole piggy romper, not so cute. The red satin dress was fabulous though. that plus the elf hat = good holiday fun.

Aw. I particularly love the shamrock costume, because I used to have a tortoiseshell abby boy named Shamrock!

He was the sort who would’ve taken my finger off for even attempting a costume (it was hard enough getting the walkies harness on him), but he liked Hallowe’en anyway because he got to help dispose of the pumpkin afterwards.

Keep your hair on hrh.squeak.

‘For heaven’s sake, Get A Grip. If you know your piggie will be stressed by an action, you Do Not Perform That Action. On the other hand, Bing Cavy does just fine with dancin’ for the camera and such. So tired of someone popping out from under the bridge to yell “Cruel!!” Billy Goat to you, with cute on top.’

I have owned over 40 guineas, not ONE of them would not get stressed if I put a costume on them. I didn’t say it was ‘Cruel!!’ at all, I merely asked whether anyone found it cruel because I myself know that not a single one of my 13 piggies would like it!

Keep your hair on and let people have an opinion.

Those are STUFFED squirrels.. dead animals cannot get stressed.

Elf hat is anerable–check out the li’l piggy’s ears on it! Pure elfen.

Ok, i’m never reading comments on here again. It’s too bad, because some of them are so funny and add to my enjoyment of the cute pictures, so i like to read them. The inevitable squawling of “OMG CRUEL” that accompanies pretty much every picture, though, sours my day. Just sours it right up. “But we’re entitled to our opinion!”, the Cruelty Police protest. Well, that’s fine. But you know? Maybe next time you whip out the ol’ Keyboard of Justice, save the time it takes you to type out a self-righteous comment, and go feed a stray or volunteer at a shelter instead. That’s far more useful. Thanks.

I actually have the fez and the elf hat for my pig. They make for hilarious/adorable photostamps. And a photo op is about as long as he’ll tolerate hat-wearin’. He is kind of an attention whore, though, so if there’s no camera, he probably doesn’t see the point of hats. Har.

The squirrel is alive not stuffed and no, I don’t think it’s cruel (twas a joke) but I do think Sugar Bush’s owner needs a new hobby.

Treen — nice photo — but is that cavy wearing a DALMATIAN?

Treen: what a very handsome guinea piggie. It’s good to be a good fuzzymom, and obviously you are. And also a gracious person. I take back the BillyGoat, but you already have lots of Cute, CavyStyle. (I have cats, meself, and am adding two ratties veryverysoon, but all fuzzfaces are cute alike to me.)
