SpeedyTV's Inspiration Challenge 67 - Guinea Pigs


Hi all and welcome to a new SpeedyTV's Inspiration Challenge!  I can't wait for you to see the most adorable inspiration pictures ever of three cute, cute guinea pigs!  I was given a white guinea pig when I was very young - probably 5 or so - and when my Mom came home and saw it - she had a tizzy and I had to give it back.  I was devastated - he was adorable!

In any event - here we go with the inspiration pics:

 




Look at these sweet faces and outfits!  I chose the little one dressed in yellow and black - but I love them all!  Hope you can join us for the new challenge at SpeedyTV - and, remember, there is always a prize to the weekly challenge winner.
