Not A Rabbit
Dad pulled these pictures out the other day (and they’re actual “photos” on paper & everything!) and he got all sad. I guess this was one of his first pets from long, long ago. Dad said his name was “Mario” - and that he was named after the race-car driver, not the video game character.
I guess they call them a “guinea pig?”
Nice house!
Hey, I do the same thing!
Looks comfy to me!
I just noticed - dad keeps a picture of this guinea pig on his desk. I guess he really loved him.
Aww, don’t be sad, dad, I’m sure he’s in a happy place with lots of yummy greens.
Kind of a sad thing to remember, but still - there were all those good times, right? And now you’ve got me & Betsy!
Ah, that’s better - dad’s smiling now.
Now, feed me.

DKM always gets weepy when thinking about the ones who came before.

Oh my gosh, he looks just like my Critter I had when I was twelve! I totally understand the “sad” bit.
