The Guinea Pig Accident

If you’ve known me for any length of time, you’ll know I love animals. I’ve always had them in my life — dogs, hamsters, fish, budgies and guinea pigs. As yet, no cats. Perhaps I like too much attention to let a cat steal the show.

One of my hobbies has been breeding animals. I have bred budgies, fish and guinea pigs. When I was 13, I started with six budgies, and in a few years had 24. Likewise, I bred guinea pigs in my teenage years and twenties. I sold them or gave them to great homes.
