Sue @tartanmog.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Is it me or does anyone else feel uncomfortable with the sofa advert where the woman chooses a guinea pig because it matches her sofa? A dog is for life not Xmas and you should not adopt an animal because it matches your furniture even in an advert. 6132
GrumpySableye @voidhumanoid.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I haven't seen it but my family used to joke about getting a couch that matched our dog. It could be a joke but is probably an attempt to get people to buy the couch by associating it with cute animals. It's important to research any pet in advance to be sure it's right for you & never impulse buy 110
GrumpySableye @voidhumanoid.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Of all the pets I lived with guinea pigs were the hardest to look after, it takes longer to clean up after them and they require lots of vegetables, hay, water, food, attention, and many foods and environmental factors can cause them harm and death if not researched, their care is expensive too 100
