Congratulations, Howl, on being POTD! You are adorable, precious and oh-so-lucky that your wonderful fur-parent found you! Unfortunately, cruel humans let many small pets go when they are tired of them, including pet bunnies, cavies/gps, hamsters, etc. It's inhumane and immoral. We're so glad you have a wonderful life now! Your human parent's tribute is heartfelt and sweet and we couldn't agree more, "A lot of time, love, and devotion are required for a pet like him, but it's worth it," which is true of ALL pets, no matter how small or big. Sending best wishes for a continued happy, healthy, fun, safe life, Sweetie! http://www.guineapigsrfun.net
