Peas in a Pod

Another scene from life!

It started with a guinea pig found in a dumpster:
No Place for a Guinea Pig.
She was discovered by some friends of friends, who hadn’t been clear on whether it was a guinea pig or a hamster. It turned out to be a smallish female guinea pig, whom I named Charlotte. After about a week I realized I wasn’t really bonding with her. My guinea-pig-loving neighbor already had boys, so that was no go. So I called the local guinea pig rescue lady to pick her up.

While we were talking, I happened to look up— and saw all four of my rats, one head above the other, peering out of their sleeping bag in great curiosity.

P.S.: I later learned Charlotte was adopted the very next day, along with another girl.
