One decent group shot |
All I wanted to do was a quick November-themed photo shoot. I put them in their scenery around 3:30 so they could get used to their surroundings. I figured they'd be done sniffing and taste-testing in about 20 minutes and we could get to work with a minimum of fidgeting.
Ha.
In 20 minutes Willow was yelling that she was tired of Pinni chasing and climbing on her. Bertie was taking pot shots at Willow whenever she ran by. There was rumblestrutting, butt-dragging, teeth-chartering and humping galore. It was like I suddenly had a trio of boars. What gives? It was chaos.

At 5pm I decided to get something productive done and clean their cages while they were on the floor. The girls get pretty excited when I scoop out old bedding and wash down the cage. But they get truly hyped up at the sound of fresh bedding getting dumped in the cage. They line up at the edge of the kitchen doorway and look longingly at their cages. Please, can we go home now??
Sweet, innocent Willow |
It was getting late I needed those photos. I decided to take my chances. Stuffing the cornucopia with hay, parsley and Willow helped a lot. In the end, after all of that waiting, the photo shoot went pretty smoothly. One set of shots did the trick. Amen.
Aren't they adorable? Such lovely photos with apparently calm, well behaved guinea pigs. Who would ever believe me if I said it took over three hours to get those little hellions to pose for a few deceptively simple pictures? They're lucky they're cute or I'd be contemplating Bad Pig Stew for dinner.
