Introducing the menagerie.  At last count we have

• one dog
• one rabbit
• three zebra finches
• aquarium of tropical fish
• two guinea pigs.

Mr Jingles (named after the mouse in "The Green Mile" by Stephen King) and Muffin.

Muffin is nearly 5.  She has had a litter in the past and was a lovely mum.  Another of our guineas had a litter at the same time ( I was told a certain new guinea pig was a girl...wrong!) and Muffin would end up babysitting all of them, quite contentedly.  

Mr, Jingles was bought at a discounted price.  The pet shop just could not home in, goodness knows why he is very sweet and beautiful.  Suckers for a sob story, he came home with us!

We bought him just before Christmas 2012 hence the Jingles name.
