Softcake , my mom had a guinea pig that used to squeak every time she opened the fridge. When she was alive she said that she didn't like it but when she died she said she missed it, so I got her another one. I was looking at her and she was quietly squeaking, then she stopped, I said that my mom would like her because she squeaked; she looked at me like "OK" and started squeaking again. It was so cute. She was dark chocolate brown with a peanut butter stripe on her nose. We called her éclair. And yes all my mom's guinea pigs were rotund. Her dog is rather on the heavy side as well. But he is happy. That is the best part.
Isn’t it interesting that so many of us either grew up with animals or have them? My preference, a hedgehog, and yes he was overweight too, but he liked his treats. I guess great minds think alike.
