Hmmm. If the cage were portable enough, I'd move it into another room for the party.

But whatever works for her.

I hope these two pigs heal up okay, Barbara!

Ditto Lynx. If at all possible, it doesn't need to be next to the flat screen on Super Bowl day.

If she can move it, she, her husband, the pigs and the guests will all be more comfortable, I think.

I am guessing the noise will be a pain.

Hey, could you take them for a short time?

May I ask why she wants pets when she's so concerned with looks?

Very good question Holly. Things that make you go-ummmm.

Come to think of it, her new home is a showcase for her interior design business.

She needs Bats' cage then.

Good luck with the little sick one.

Geez, guinea pigs then? They are messy critters. Me thinks she'll be calling you in a month to come get them.

If her home is essentially her portfolio for her business, that makes a certain amount of sense. Guinea pigs are not particularly decorative, though, even if she is able and willing to give them the time and care they deserve.

She needs some calm, light-shedding, eye-candy cats, and I don't mean that in a snotty or condescending way -- just realistically for her purposes. I'd agree with HollyT -- please be prepared to be asked to take them back.

Good luck and bless you for helping Snuggles. Please keep us posted on how she's doing.

It sure sounds like you'll be seeing your loaner pigs real soon. Not only are pigs messy but their cages have a certain aroma no matter how often you clean. I also was concerned that she couldn't have picked up the pigs at all if she didn't notice the infection.

You have a big heart to take on the care of these needy pigs. I wish them a speedy recovery -- and shoots under the fingernails to the people at Petco.

My mom told me last night that my guinea pig cage looked "tacky" in my living room. Umm, I have a 5 year old and a baby, and our house is constantly under rennovation. Who am I trying to impress?

Pshaw. I sold my last house with a huge pig home smack dab in the tiny living room. It didn't seem to deter anyone.

When we sold the other house we were in the realtor said the animals have to go, ha are you KIDDING was my reply. I did not move out of sight as she suggested. I told her the animals live in the house to so the potential buyers can just go around them. I made sure they were all clean and picked up before anyone came by but no way was I hiding them away.

The house sold in 2 days and for the asking price, so I don't think the animals were an issue.
