I am a guinea pig person myself. My boys and I have two males. Skippy and Cinnamon. They have the best temperment. They are about the same size as a rat but do not have a tail. We have them in the living room and are a hoot to watch. They are also very social animals and would rather be with two than just themselves. Although one of ours is a little anti-social with the other so we keep them separated. they like to play and run around and "popcorn". Popcorning is exactly what it sounds like. They hop into the air like a piece of popcorn popping. Its so much fun. They are also very talkative when you hold them....and yell at me when they hear any kind of plastic sac (they think their food is coming). They like to eat carrots, lettuce, apples and guinea pig food. The only problem we have had with them is that Skippy is allergic to the wood chip bedding so we had to change him to a paper bedding which is a little more expensive...but well worth it. I hope you found a good pet! Billie Jo

He's a Schnautzu! Or a Shihtzner, whatever you prefer. He's soooooo tiny! Hi fits on one hand. He's got the cutest little black schnauzer face (the breeder says he'll probably turn gray later), with perky little ears. He has a shih tzu tail that curls right up and over. He bark is priceless! His name is Geppetto. I will hug him and squeeze him, and he shall be MY puppy!

Lisa, I love them!! They are the most loyal little creaters I only have one his name is Mickey he is 5 years old and looks like a little pot belly pig LOL. He is the short leg Chi and is brown and black except for a white spot on his chest shaped like a heart. He is our baby. We usually leave him with my Mom when we go on Vacation but she is not able to handle him this year so we found some Chalets that we stay in in the mountains that allow pets so we are taking him with us I have to leave the cat, bird and fish at home. Anyways just thought I would reply to your post I seem to have plenty of time lately just waiting to hear the results of my insurance. You look great btw and I know you are very proud of your weight lose. Keep it up Have A Great Day!! Debbie

I have four chihuahuas and i love 'em lots. Lisa and Fish
