Did you know… that although cavies (guinea pigs) are members of the rodent group, we do not have yellow teeth like most other rodents. Instead we have lovely pearly white incisors. Our teeth continue to grow throughout our lifetime, so we need to keep chewing on things often in order to keep them from getting too long. My mom took a picture of my teeth today while I was laying on her tummy.

I have reduced the price of all my small and extra small bandanas by 20%, this will be in effect until they are sold out. I will continue to make dog bandanas in sizes medium through XXX-large. Smaller sizes will be available by special request.

This is a rare quiet moment with my youngest daughter’s guinea pig. Actually, she does love being held but makes like a cheetah when we try to catch her, she loves the thrill of the chase Isn’t she a pretty girl ?

When you are thinking about adding a pet to your family, please consider adopting an animal from a local shelter or rescue.

Both of my wonderful dogs were adopted from our local animal shelter. I found my dog Zoey by using petfinder.com. Below is their search tool:
