I live in upstate New York I'm 27 and names Krystle.

I have two piggies..
Tubbles and Mohawk

Tubbles was given to me as a birthday present in 2012 after my dog passed away in 2011 on Christmas morning my dad was going to get me a puppy but I just wasn't ready for another dog after having my kasey for 16 1/2 years..

Then there's Mohawk he's older than tubbles but I got him a few months after I got tubs.. He was mistreated with his past owner when I got him he had mats in his hair all over the place (took me 6 hours! ) to get them all out..His hair was so long it was all the way over his face he looked like bottom of a mop I swear he'd never seen hay in his life the first time I gave it to him he went nuts just non stop talking lol.... I took him to the vets he had lice, ear was infected from a bite from some kind of bug :(... He was underweight you couldn't tell by looking at him as all you seen was hair but if you picked him up all you felt was bone pretty much... they didn't take care of him at all I went over to the people's house that I got him from not actually planning on taking him but when I got there I seen his cage (no food, no water, he was itching alot, bedding hadn't been changed in probably month(smelled horrible! ) they tell me he's cage shy so he won't let me pick him up, I open the cage and he comes right over and let's me pick him up just fine then I felt how skinny he was and I actually wanted to cry :( so I gave the guy 25 for him and his cage everything he had which wasn't much! And brought him home with me now he's a healthy happy piggie!

They both go to the vet about every 3 to 4 months just to make sure everything is okay my vets amazing cause she has a pocket pet payment ins that's threw her clinic so I only pay about $15 a month for them both and covers everything from sickness to getting nails trimmed..and yes I definitely feel like the lucky one in the situation.. I didn't want a long haired one actually but after seeing him I couldn't just leave him there has I knew he'd surely die if I did once I got him and he got diabetes I knew most people wouldn't want to bother with doing all that for a guniea pig so I decided he's better off staying with me

Aww, Tubbles looks like my childhood piggie. And I agree, Mohawk’s name fits perfectly!

I'm not the type of person that can just sit back and watch any animal no matter what it be suffer for no reason.. I can not understand why any person would want to hurt a animal specially one as tiny as a piggie as compared to a human their defenseless..
My boyfriend goes nuts as to how I am with animals as our home is pretty full with them but he also loves it about me.. and all but two animals I have are rescues
