Today I am trying to pay particular attention to Tommy, our guinea pig…. he recently lost his brother and it has to hurt. Guinea pigs are kind of hard to get into sometimes - no, I don’t mean that in a bad day. Just that their main activities seem to be eating, pooping, and sleeping. Of course that’s the basics of what we all do! But he’s always been shy-ish, which is probably natural to a species that doesn’t have a lot of self-protection.

So we try to give him a few extra scritches, and little amusements, but mostly a little extra attention. He lived here with Chuckie for five years and now Chuckie’s gone. It’s hard.

So here’s to our pets. We chose them to share our lives with and they didn’t have a choice in the matter. it’s up to us to make them as healthy and happy as we can.

And all of you who remember the show “Rugrats” will know where their names came from.
