I had a guniea pig.. Otto... he was probably the sweetest piggy..he loved to purr when I pet him on the right spot behind his ear, and snuggle up really close under my chin and just stay there, and sleep, or just to hang out with me. He died when he was 4 years.. had to put him down because he was so sick and wouldn't eat or drink ANYTHING.. the most depressing thing I've had to do.. since he was my first pet and all.. That was back in 1998. Here's a picture of Otto..yes.. he was huge, lol..- Rachel
