Meet Ruby

This is Ruby - out for a walk, and that's her cosy basket by her side. For those of you not aware, she is a guinea pig. Ruby lives under the stairs in our house, which is a light, open space, not a dingy corner, fear not! She is a few months shy of being five years old, and she's been with me since she was 6 weeks old. She has lots of character - she squeaks and purrs, chews the cage bars when she is hungry, and runs around and plays when the mood takes her, or curls up for a wellearned nap. She is one of the family and everyone who meets her adores her.
