Here's a picture of my dog, Katie, in the notorious ballerina reindeer costume...

And my guinea pig, Gizmo... (6 weeks old today!) She's sitting with me in this one:
I'm not kidding you guys. Guinea pigs are not the kind of animals that make the odd squeak here and there. If they're happy, they'll make a little wheek-wheek noise. I mean, constantly. And if they're upset, they'll scream. I mean it, scream like their head's being cut off or something, because they're just that emotional. I swear, my guinea pig is bipolar. Either that, or I'm doing something horrid to upset the Balance of All Rodents. All I know is that she loves to rip up books beyond recognition. We always have to forgive her for her terrible habits though, because she's just so sweet and innocent!
