Boots the Guinea Pig By: Tessa

When I was six years old, my mema bought me a guinea pig. His name was Boots. My guinea pig was light brown and white. He ate guinea pig pet food, carrots, and dry corn. He slept and then ate. He did that a lot! Boots had a plastic ball with a door that guinea pigs are supposed to walk or run in. He would not move in it, but he actually slept in it! When it was just me and we were outside playing, he did make it move. I think he wanted to get my attention. Boots was a good boy, but some dogs ate him. I saw him die, and it was sad. I buried him in the woods. I was sad for three days. I was sad until my daddy got home, and he found a little stray cat. I was so glad.

Hi Tessa,
Thank you for the story about your Guinnea Pig. I'm sorry you had a bad ending but I bet you enjoy your Kitty a lot.
