OMG nekkid piggies! P0rn on CO! Who will save the children?

For some odd reason, the imagery of piglets in diapers comes to mind. Whenever I see a naked baby’s ‘tocks, I think of putting a diaper on it. Motherly instinct, I guess. LOL

oops, the first part of my statement I belive is not true. Their origins are not known.

The second is a chef’s speculation that I have heard on a number of accounts, but also the origins are unknown.

The last part however, I believe is quite true.

Guinea Pigs, I believe are called such because they are from Guinea, and are used the same that we use pigs. As food. I have heard, and wouldn’t mind myself, quite good food.

I always wondered where the term “Guinea pigs” was derived from, unless they were originally from that region. But that still doesn’t explain the “pig” part. This picture, on the other hand, does. They truly do look like little piggies!

I love guinea pigs, but these poor little guys look just a wee bit sad with no fur.

I do love the “teeny tiny hippos” comment, tho – it’s so true!!

Hmmm. Well, our guinea pig (I have no idea what kind, I didn’t even know there were kinds) had two pups without us even knowing she was pregnant. And they were born fully-formed, with fur and everything, looking just like mini-adults. They were MUCH cuter than these naked mole rats!!!!

Brrrrrrrrrrrr…..I hope someone puts a warm blanket over us and tucks us in so we are cosywarm!!

“These little cuties look like teeeeny tiny hippos!”

Coincidentally, my local pet shop sells these guys under the name House Hippos.

I think they look like squeaky, walking potatoes. Weird, but cute.

Cute though. All the wrinkles, pink color, little folded earies.
