"Hey, I Wanna Hold That Rat"

I'm still trying to convince Beatrice that we have a guinea pig, not a pet rat.

In the mean time Maggie finally picked a name for the piggy.  He's now Mr. Silky.  Obviously this is because he's so soft.

Also I'm feeling a little bit guilty because I want to sneak away and pet him, too, all by myself.  I'm waiting for the girls to go to bed so I can watch a movie and pet Mr. Silky.  I feel guilty because I haven't snuck away to pet one of our cats in over five years.  Poor cats...
