Cuy and Perro

As those of you who know me know, I have one of the best dogs in the world, and used to have another. My boy was a cairn terrier named Perro. Yes, I know that's Spanish for "dog". The story of his name is a whole other thing entirely.

My girl is "Cuy", which is Peruvian for "guinea pig". Before you ask, yes, there's another story there. She's very little (born somewhere in early December 2002), but very feisty.

She and Perro got along great--he taught her early on his favorite game, "Run around and chase me". She's getting along in age, but still a fabulous baby girl. To me, she'll always be the puppy she was.
