Hello wral,
   Just figured id send something out of the ordinary that im sure you will all get a chuckle out of. This is a picture of my male guinea pig "Cookie" dressed up and ready for Halloween. I adopted him back in April from the Vets for Pets Animal Hospital (you may remember that adorable face from the front page of the Daily Record during the Pet Adoption fair). Having this little guy around is a real joy and he always brightens up my day! Hope he does the same for you. 

Too cute to spook!
