Hello
everyone,
My name is Root Beer. I am an Abyssinian Guinea Pig but my mom says I am
a piggie with a "bad hair life" (really... she loves my crazy hair). I
am mostly black but I have a brown stripe around my neck and just to be
different I have two white feet. Yeah... I don't know where those came
from. Life as I now know it started only three school years ago. My mom
found me online at the Bay Area SPCA. I was an adult abandoned guinea
pig in search of a new home. She went to see me there and fell in love
and took me home that day. Honestly I don't know why... I was not at my
best. I had bald spots on my back, a bad case of ear mites, and very
long claws that had deformed my feet but I am glad she did. After many
trips to the vet I am happy to say I am doing very well. She has taken
great care of me and tells me every day that she is lucky to have me. I
am loved by her and my human sister Kalena (who helps me get ready to go
to school every day), two cat and a dog. The dog thinks she is my mother
(shhhh don't tell her I am not). I also have a huge following of former
students that were in my mom's class over the last three school years.
My favorite thing to do is, of course, eat. I love all kinds of foods
but my most favorite is sweet basil (fresh grown or course) and tomato
and parsley. I also love getting in the floor and popcorning around the
room looking for paper to eat that might have been dropped by a student
(but mom does not let me do that too often - she says paper is not on my
diet). Anyway thanks for your time. Remember to check at your animal
shelter or SPCA for your next pet. I am sure glad my mom did!
