This is Hurley. One of my mom's many class pets. He is super cool.

I decided today that I might need a guinea pig. I don't particulary like things that shed BUT maybe they can breed me a hairless guinea?? It wouldn't be nearly as cute without hair but it has to be cuter than a hairless cat.

Yup that is a hairless cat with a tattoo. My window on getting a tattoo has pretty much closed...but pets don't really have 'windows' so why not? And yes. If I find a hairless guinea I will strongly consider getting it a tatt.

Here is the research.... [thank you grad school for teaching me how]:

• The guinea pig is commonly called the Cavy.
• These animals are not pigs, nor do they come from Guinea.
• Competitive breeding of guinea pigs have been formed worldwide, and many specialized breeds of guinea pig, with varying coat colors and compositions, are cultivated by breeders.
• According to the 2006 Guinness Book of Records the longest living guinea pig survived 14 years, 10.5 months

Summary: I don't even have to think of a name for this thing...I'll just call it Cavy. I dont' really like pigs so it was a relief to find out it's not really a pig. They breed all sorts so there is hope in finding a hairless guinea!! It could live up to 14 years so I wouldn't have to look for another pet until I'm like 37....Score!
