pork chop.

As you know, we have an adorable little chunky guinea pig named Bacon. Well, as you may not know, guinea pigs are very social animals. Bacon is very social with us! When he hears us talking, he squeaks and squeals and runs around happily. He will even stand up to the edge of his cage when we go near it so that we can pet him.

But this weekend.......

We got him a new friend!

His name is Pork Chop and we love him. He is so so sooo little (compared to Bacon!) and adorable! (Yes, we now have two guinea pigs named after pork products. Get it, they're guinea PIGS? We're clever.)

Right now, he is living in Bacon's old cage for a few weeks so we can be sure he didn't bring any sicknesses home with him from the pet store. But after that, we are going to start slowly introducing them! I hope Bacon loves his new "little brother" and shows him the ropes of life in the big cage. ;)

Don't you just want to hold him and squeeze him and love him? Eeeeeeeee he's so adorable! I wonder if while we're gone they squeak to each other from across the apartment. 

My mom says he looks like a ZhuZhu pet. I think that's a fair assessment. :)

We love our two boys! :)

No, not that kind. Although I do love that kind. 

This is Bacon. He's our guinea pig, and we love him. Granted, he does get annoying at times. He likes to bite the bars of his cage whenever he is out of food or water or whenever his cage gets too messy. But last night, we let him roam around the living room floor, and he was just adorable. He ran, he played, he sniffed, he popcorned (this cute little jumping thing that guinea pigs do), and he tired himself right out. 

And yes, I do know his name is adorable. Thank you.
