Some Background on This Contest

As many of our friends remember, Bitsy the Guinea Pig passed away in May 2012 after a 2-month fight against lymphoma.

Before Bitsy passed away, The Humans wanted a way to commemorate Bitsy’s special place in the HappyCavy Herd. The result was Bitsy’s Guinea Pig Video Portrait, a special video that tells a story of Bitsy’s sunny outlook on life: Always sure the sun will shine despite what may come.

Shortly after Bitsy’s passing, The HappyCavy Humans nominated Bitsy’s Guinea Pig Video Portrait to be considered for the CareFRESH Video of the Month Award. In May, her video won(!) and was featured on the CareFRESH website.

And the story gets even better…

Bitsy’s video has recently been selected by CareFRESH as their Video of the Year, the award for which is a shipment of twelve 60L bags of CareFRESH Natural Pet Bedding. What a generous prize! Bitsy would be so happy!

Because each HappyCavy is a rescued guinea pigs, Hammy and The Herd decided that the winnings should be put towards helping other guinea pig in need.
