I tried really hard not to do this.
The press releases from MSPCA, the animal advocacy organization, are so cute, so utterly ridiculous, that it’s tempting to post them in entirety, even without a news peg. There was the puppy hit by a snowplow. There was the cat caught in a mouse trap. There were the pigs who ate fruit salad. Each time, I resisted.
Today, the MSPCA sent out this headline:
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY WITH BABY GUINEA PIGS TODAY AT 2:30pm
I still resisted! But then I received this urgent follow-up…
FYI – Unfortunately the baby Guinea Pigs could not make it in today for photos due to the low temperature.
…and I lost it. So, folks, help an animal in need and adopt one of 22 baby guinea pigs recently surrendered by a Cape Cod resident.
You might say I’ve become the MSPCA’s guinea pig.
