This is me with my latest ebay purchase - "The Tales of Olga da Polga". It's written by Michael Bond, the same person who wrote the Paddington Bear stories. I used to read Olga stories when I was a kid. This is the first few paragraphs of the book:
"From the very beginning there was not the slightest doubt that Olga da Polga was the sort of guinea-pig who would go places.
There was a kind of charm about her, something in the set of her whiskers, an extra devil-may-care twirl to the rosettes in her brown and white fur, and a gleam in her eyes, which set her apart.
Even her name had an air of romance. How she had come by it was something of a mystery, and Olga herself told so many fanciful tales about moonlit nights, castles in the air, and fields awash with oats and beautiful princesses - each tale wilder than the one before - that none of the other guinea-pigs in the pet shop knew what to believe."

I used to have a guinea-pig called Maraduke and my neighbour had one called Marmalade - they used to run through the hedges together.
Cute book!
The are good guinea pig names. We had Charles and Di, Errol and Beryl, and Frances and Albert. We used to breed them and sell the babies to the pet shop for $2 each.
LOL FUNNY FUNNY NAMES. Charles and Di cracked me up.
LOL
I had Maisie and Daisy.
Di died
Then we had the famous Smiggles closely followed by Zeppy and then I believe Miss Piggy made an appearance who was succeeded by Mr Pig who arrived to provide company for another fluffy person who goes alternatively by the names Cuddles and Destructo...
Is Destructo the rabbit that growls and intimidates people ?
No, that's Chilli. Destructo is Cuddles is destroyer mode.
