I must have had tons of pets over the years, mostly because I'm a sucker for the half-dead rescue cases.
Most of them have been of the small and furry variety, apart from several fish and a White's Tree Frog called Fluffy (he was awesome).

Currently, we have four guinea pigs.

The Doctor:


The Professor:


The Captain:


The Scientist:


They're my house-pigs. They're all fully litter trained, and are allowed to rome free-range around the house when there's someone home to keep an eye on them.
They're very cute, very friendly, and often like to follow me around the house like four fat little ducklings (especially when they want food!)

My favourite is The Professor.
He's an older rescue pig, and he's been through a lot. When we adopted him he had been neglected and severely mistreated, and was in terrible shape.
He's much healthier and happier now, but he's still very snappy with strangers (I'm the only person who can handle him without getting bitten) and generally very grumpy, even sometimes with me.
But that's all part of his charm. I love the old grumpus!
