Poogy the Guinea Pig
Today, after yesterday's excitement, the wife and the boys went out today to an animal shelter and found and adopted our newest family member, Poogy the guinea pig:
Poogy is named after our first guinea pig, Piglet (who died in 1995) and Buffie, who left us yesterday. It is also the nickname of the early-70's Israeli rock band Kaveret, whose music is much enjoyed by the children. (In fact, you probably could hear their pun-anthem "Yo Ya" at many Orthodox weddings nowadays...) He's a 6-9 month old male, short-haired guinea pig. (The photo, taken from my cellphone, may not bear that out.)
Shafan, the bunny
has taken quite handily to his new, somewhat more energetic neighbor.
