Human’s name: Holly, 10 years old. Pet's name and age: Holly has had Piper the guinea pig since she picked her out at the pet store two years ago. “She was really cute and | liked the colours on her, and she was the smallest,” says Holly. Favourite activities: Piper loves to run around the living room and the garden. Sunday, May 7, 2000 - North Shore News ~ 23 Favourite treat: She loves her greens: parsley, lettuce, car- rots, and even cilantro. Pet tale: Holly once set down the carrot she was nibbling on and turned back to it just a few minutes later to discover that Piper had stolen it for herself. There's no doubt that this iittle guinea pig loves her food. Holly says whenever Piper hears the fridge door open or a plastic bag rustling she makes all sorts of ncises, squeaking and weeping. She also gets along quite wel! with the two cats who share her family home, although, says Holly, the cats are a little ner- vous around Piper. if you would like to app ar with your pet in Pet fause, please write to Terry Feters c/o the North Shore News, 1139 Lonsdale Ave., North Vancouver, B.C., V7M 2H4.
