Over a carrot and cucumber salad, I sat down with Squishy and Mushy, stars of the upcoming film G-Force. The guinea pigs spoke of their new sister, their accommodations, and life in Istanbul.
Caitlin Ryan: So, you two have been out of the news lately. Most fans attributed it to post-production burn-out, but a few have claimed you've both fallen into a deep depression. What have you been doing over the past months?
Mushy: There was a while when we refused to leave the house. Our mother was hit by a car, began working all the time, and adopted a new daughter. We felt that we were being pushed out of her life. Squishy was particularly hard-hit: she stopped eating, stopped cleaning, and stopped grooming herself. I tried to help. I ate her vegetables, tried to keep her in one corner to minimize 'accidents', and cut her hair for her. Things got really bad.
But eventually, we knew things had to change. The turning point was probably when our Aunt Caitlin came to visit. She gave us the extra attention we needed to get over that bump. She also brought hay, litter, and food, so our mother can take better care of us.
Squishy: Tweet [tilts head].
CR: Tell me about your new sister. Why do you think your mother wanted to adopt a child from a different country?
S: Tweet. Tweet. Drrrrr.
M: Well, I think she was definitely influenced by Angelina Jolie and the wave of celebrity adoptions. Our mother adopted me very soon after she adopted Squishy to have someone responsible to watch her while mother was at school. Squishy has always been special - 'special' - and even though I'm younger, I've tried to be a big sister to her.
When our mother adopted Tigger, we were shocked. We're only just over a year old, and even though we're not as cute now as when we were piglets, we didn't know that she wanted another baby. Tigger was cute. It was awesome having another baby sister at the beginning - we were all just about the same size, and playing with her was just like when our mom first adopted me. It was only when she kept growing bigger that we realized how different we are. Tigger bites and attacks us whenever she can, and I think that she really, really wants to kill us.
[[At this point, there was a minor earthquake and we had to postpone the rest of the interview. Look for it next week.]]
