http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/ A daily webcomic about our guinea pigs. en-us Bean is usually very good about putting his "waste" in the corner away from everyone. He invented the concept of a toilet area for everyone after all. But when he sleeps for the night, he's not always energetic enough to get up to go. But instead of leaving a pile right next to himself like the other pigs, he'll at least push it up to the edge of the pigloo.This is especially funny when he's been sleeping in the same pigloo all day, because it will leave an outline on the blanket when I pick it up.]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1432 Fuzzy@guineanfuzzy.com Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1432 This is old news. A couple of times when I picked Bean up for his nightly medicine, Grizzly would freeze like a statue because he saw I was busy with Bean. But as soon as I'd look away, he'd dash for a hiding place.Like I mentioned a couple of days ago, though, he'd never do this anymore. Instead he knows after medicine time come the cookies, so he'll always be out waiting for them.]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1431 Guinea@guineanfuzzy.com Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1431 The pigs don't usually stand still for pets or ear scratches. Sometimes they like the ear scratches, especially when they're busy eating. But usually I think it reminds them too much of being picked up, which always scares them at first. But a nose-boop they'll usually participate in.I don't know if they get it or they're just confused. But at least they don't mind it.]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1430 Fuzzy@guineanfuzzy.com Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1430 When we first started giving Beanie his heart medicine, Grizzly had a course of antibiotics that started at the same time. So of course we gave them both cookies. But that meant, even though Grizzly finished his course, he still gets a cookie whenever Bean gets medicine.He knows it too. He's always ready and waiting when we put Bean back in the cage.]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1429 Guinea@guineanfuzzy.com Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1429 Grizzly still has a little twist in his fur from when he used to rinse it so often. But the most surprising thing is how fluffy he was right after we cleaned him. He's usually got wiry, scratchy fur, but it was soft and fluffy right where we used all that lotion and soap.I'm glad his fur is stiffening back up, though. It's his special characteristic.]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1428 Fuzzy@guineanfuzzy.com Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1428
