Everyone, this is Randall.  He is a guinea pig.  My guinea pig, specifically.  I have several, but this picture is one of my favorites.  Why?  Because, DUH, it’s a guinea pig in a dinosaur costume.  GEEZE.

He’s adorable, right?  He’s a trouble maker, though.  He likes to try to chew on by books while I’m reading.  I don’t believe in reading smut aloud to my children, so I think he’s exercising his irritation at being “ignored.”  I can temporarily appease him by making a “tent” out of the book and holding it above him, which amuses him for about thirty seconds.
