Technically these are my parents' guinea pigs but I look after them because neither of my parents are ever here. The red-eyed one's called Minky and is about a year old. Minky had a sister, Dinky, but she got a tooth abcess over Christmas and had to be put down last week. So we got the other baby one, who doesn't have a name yet. Suggestions gratefully received! They seem to like each other after having a bit of an initial standoff. The wee one never shuts up and keeps playing manic games with Minky, which is just as well because Minky's a bit of a lard-arse and needs the encouragement. They are very cuddly and love carrot.

Oh I absolutely LOVE guinea pigs! I love the squeaky noise they make. I'd really like to get some. When I was wee, I had a rabbit and a guinea pig who were big pals and would cuddle together for warmth.

I thought they were the cutest thing ever. Then we got two Russian hamsters who again, were incredibly cute but were vicious bastards. I'd quite like to get another, but I don't know if they get on with guinea pigs. G-pigs are friendlier anyway. The baby burrows into my top and sleeps. So sweet.

I have dogs as well. I think the one on the left is Fraser, and the one on the right is Alfie, but I always get confused.

One of my housemates has got this new Dwarf Hamster and it is the cutest thing in the world ever. It's so tiny and fluffy and it runs around ridiculously fast. I want one.
*kills off Nipper*
(Actually, not really. The Dwarf Hamster bites you for fun and has glowing red eyes because it's part albino (which makes him a bit blind apparently). Nipper is ace right now and no longer hates me.)

My sister is taking her guinea pig speed dating this week.
Ever since his buddy Rufus died in the summer he's been quite depressed so he needs a new companion. You take them along to this place where he can meet and greet some lovely lady guinea pigs and hopefully find a life partner. Apparently they squeak with joy when they see their perfect pal. My heart nearly exploded with cuteness when my sister told me.

In November me and my flatmates purchased four goldfish. The next day one of the fish died, we posthumously named her Maddy McFish. Then about a month later after cleaning the bowl, two died a day after the other. The remaining fish, Swimbint, was alone for about 2 months. We blame Swimbint for the deaths of the other two fish because she kept chasing them around, banging into them, generally trying to rape them. Then we bought two more, slightly different looking fish last weekend; one is Joey Fatone, one is Shami Chakrabarti. Swimbint has started attacking the two new fish, even though they are both bigger than her. If one of the new fish dies soon we are thinking of executing Swimbint on charges of serial fish murder.

I'm so annoyed. My brothers friend has just offloaded her older brothers terrapin onto us because he was threatening to flush it, and it's in such a state. It arrived in a filthy tank, is absolutely tiny, covered in fluff, discoloured, and generally just looks very ill. Compared to Henry it just looks like the swimming dead. I've just cleaned all the shit off him/her, I think her, and put her into a new tank with plants and gravel and a basking spot and beach but I really, really, really want to punch this 17 year animal abuse twat for putting this animal through all this. Not only that but they bring it round within two minutes of my dad arriving home from hospital after his operation, and he doesn't need this. Grrrrr.

I had a beautiful baby blackmoor fish for about 24 hours, and then the big tranny frog ate him. RIP Fishy.
On the uphand, I now have a spankingly brilliant three foot tank with turtle dock and ace sik plants, so no clogged up filters! Oh god I'm sad...

Fuck, I wish I had a tranny frog...I mean OH HOW AWFUL POOR FISHY HAVE A COMFORTING HUG. This week I am pleased because soon I will be moving. I will be moving into a pet friendly house, which means I can reclaim my beloved house-bitch bunny from my slightly rubbish ex-boy. This is Dusty Goldfrapp Suzuki Preston, aged 3 and a week.

I finally collected my dwarf hamsters from Preston last weekend. I have 3, but one lives in a separate cage to the others as he ate one of them. All that was found was teeth and a small amount of fur, not even any bones. I've succeeded in taming Hannibal, he has stopped pooing everywhere, and hasn't bitten me since I flicked him as punishment. He runs and sits on my shoulder like a parrot. And he pissed on the girl that broke my nose (I don't talk to her but she stole him from my housemate, its a verty long story) so therefore he is now my favourite hamster. Except when he starts rearranging his cage in the early hours of the morning, forcing me to swear at him until he stops.
I think I had a deprived childhood. This would never have happened if I'd been allowed a hamster years ago. Please don't report me for animal abuse!
