The International Guinea Pig Adventure

Just thinking of the other thread where we're up for a bit of an international sweetie swap.

Would anyone be up for an international guinea pig swap? Not a real one, of course. I have a wee cuddly piggy that would love to make a little journey across the globe and see how many countries he can get to! I can even make him a little passport and each person that gets him could put a little stamp or a note in? Perhaps he could have his photo taken at famous international landmarks and it could be posted on here?

If you want him to visit you, all it would take would perhaps be a donation (however big or small) to CavySpirit and the postage to send him?

Just an idea if anyone thinks it might be fun.

Sounds like a plan! And very cute. My daughter did the Flat Stanley in class last year where each student maileda Flat Stanley to different family and friends to see how far he'd travel.

Re: Idea - the international guinea pig adventure?

That sounds like an adorable idea! Are we talking a pigture of a piggy or a plush toy piggy? Maybe as each person gets him, they post a couple of pictures, so everyone knows where he has been and is going.

He's a plush toy. Quite small and light so easy enough to put in the mail.

Re: Idea - the international guinea pig adventure?

There are a few of us in VA. He wouldn't travel far from one to the other. Maybe we could all meet in DC and take him site-seeing!

Re: Idea - the international guinea pig adventure?

We should make a list of each state/country and what members live where.

How about as each person sees this and is interested, they list where they are from. Obviously, I'm in Richmond, VA.
