Pets of the Week: Quico and Chavo
EUGENE, Ore. – Bonded guinea pig brothers Quico and Chavo have contrasting personalities, but both share a desire to find their loving forever home together!. Greenhill Humane Society staffers said that Quico, who is white and orange, is quite the little socially outgoing fellow and loves to play while Chavo, who is black with a white stripe down his face, is a bit shy but still loves being held and getting pets. They both enjoy chowing down on yummy snacks and love climbing on their toys, and Quico, when he’s happy, gets what’s known as ‘popcorns,’ a description of Quico’s happy dance, Greenhill staff said. Greenhill officials also said that Quico loves to tell his humans all about his day. These piggies are seeking an indoor-only home and would be wonderful pets for a family with children as well as newcomers to guinea pigs, Greenhill staff said.

Rob Hammer's photograph "Freedom" transports you to that vast desert landscape, one of twelve riders dwarfed beneath an endless sky.
