We used to have a guinea pig named Pumpkin. Since he and I were the only males in the house, I'd take him out in the yard with me, let him eat grass, and call him Bubba.
I have a couple of pictures like that - one of Cricket pawing the screen where I had a sudoku game on pause, another one of Smudgy sitting in front of the TV watching the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, head cocked sideways to watch the "skiers" going down a straight vertical slope. Smudgy's silhouette looks like the guys from MST 3000.
