Fifteen Tumblr Posts Appreciating Guinea Pigs On Their Special Day

Let's be honest with ourselves: guinea pigs could easily become the new cats of the Internet.

They're cute, fluffy, and heart-melting. 

Having been domesticated in South America for thousands of years, they're one of the longest-serving companions to humans and today are the pet of choice for many children and adults alike. With their soft squishy bodies, cute little ears, and their easy-going demeanor, if you're looking for a cuddly companion you can't go far wrong.

To keep the love of guinea pigs alive, Guinea Pig Appreciation Day, celebrated every year on July 16th,  is all about everything that we love about these cutesy critters that makes them great pets.
