Hap-pig Independence Day!

Patriotic Piggies

Happig Independence Day! Hope everyone is having a great 4th of July! Whee here at the Cali Cavy Collective certainly are - just look at that lush green lawn. Whee also get lettuce and watermelon. What more could a piggy need? The only thing whee are missing is the BBQ sauce! Except our humans say whee are not allowed to have that, but whatever. Grass tastes perfect just the way it is, except when icky things like snails or slugs slither their way onto it. They tend to leave slimy, unpleasant trails everywhere and ruin the taste of the grass for us! It is most displeasing. But that is neither here nor there.


Our slaves tried to make us take a photoshoot to celebrate America, but whee were sort of busy.. it was hard to concentrate when whee were surrounded by so much yummy grass. Models DO have to eat sometime, you know. Whee were supposed to pose next to them looking cute, but we kept knocking them over by accident instead. So finally they gave up and just leaned the flags on us instead. Oh well. *popcorns

Morry pauses to pose for the camera, but Coppy can't resist the grass!

"Can whee go now?"

It's National Pet Week!

This week, from May 1st-7th, is what the humans call National Pet Week! Of course, us guinea piggies call it by its correct name, which is National Pet Wheek. According to the National Pet Week website, its purpose is to promote responsible vet ownership, celebrate the bond between humans and animals, as well as promote public awareness of veterinary medicine.

Our humans celebrated by giving us lots of yummy food, hugs and cuddles, while whee piggies celebrated by inhaling lots of yummy food and allowing ourselves to be petted without too much fuss. Of course, whee had to fuss some... can't let them think we've become complacent! See Coppy here, who is being hugged and cuddled by one of our humans.

Truffle gets hungry

It isn't always easing modeling for these humans.. sometimes whee can't help it, we get hungry, or bored! Here are some of the outtakes from our photo shoot for Easter, click to see more!

Like in many photo shoots, there are always some shots that don't make it to the final selection. Here are some of the funnier piggy bloopers from Earth Day!

Piggy Pics of the Day: Happy Easter!

Piggies from the Cali Cavy Collective would like to wish everyone and everypig a very happy Easter holiday! For your enjoyment, whee have a selection of pigtures from our latest photo shoot. Our humans made us pose with all the funny brightly colored plastic objects they called "eggs", and with this creature whom is definitely not a guinea pig that was sitting in a watering can. We tried to wheek at it, and instead of wheeking back, it chirped at us! Most confusing, and very startling. But anyways, have a happy Easter!

Whee are being festive here with our very dignified headdresses 

Truffle: "Why is it chirping at me?!"

Poof: "It speaks guinea?!"

"Well, maybe I can have this as a snack while working..."

Being festive

Peaches is not sure what she is more upset at, the chicken or the hair bow

"Is it dinner time now?"

Cali Cavy Collective Celebrates Earth Day

Representatives from the Cali Cavy Collective would like to raise awareness for and celebrate Earth Day, on April 22nd!

Earth Day was founded by a U.S. senator who saw the devastating effects of an oil spill in Santa Barbara, California in 1969. His goal was to bring environmental issues into a more prominent position on the national political agenda. Today, Earth Day is meant to raise public awareness for the environment and bring attention to environmental causes, such as the need to create a healthy, sustainable environment for future generations and the planet we all share.

Personally, we cavies are planning to celebrate by consuming large quantities of fresh vegetables and cranberry juice, then creating lots of organic poops that would be excellent for compost and fertilization purposes. Our humans also had us pose for a recycling themed photo shoot in various recyclable containers (plastic, glass, cardboard, and aluminum foil) as a reminder to recycle! After the very exhausting and time consuming photo shoot (whee had to take five whole minutes out of our busy daily lives!), they gave us a pile of baby lettuce leaves to chow on. Good for getting started on our celebration of Earth Day!

"I'd better get paid extra for this..."

"I wonder if this thing I'm sitting on is edible?"

Piggy Pics of the Day: Easter Egg Hunt

"Hmm, I wonder if these brightly colored eggs taste like veggies..."

Our slaves tried to make us go on an early Easter egg hunt, but whee had other priorities in mind - such as gobbling down grass as quickly as possible before we have to go back inside! Silly slaves, they should know by now that food is a piggy's first priority.

"Oh well, who cares when there is so much grass to be eaten?"

All piggies promptly resume pigging out on the grass
